He’d have tried the same at BA if he could have got away with it.
Don’t tell me. He rings you and asks you and Traf for advice ?
If your mean ****e equals fact then I'll take that. Nothing I wrote was incorrect. Sorry if you were one of the EI pilots that lost out. But for years the company had relied on state aid to keep it afloat and flying a jumbo to JFK once a month on the old EI101 service and getting paid 150K to do it had to stop. Free staff travel and a pension scheme so out of kilter with industry norms it was totally unsustainable.
WW saved EI and whilst not a personal friend, I do know him, we are on first name terms and meet on our way to Madrid once a month. Live with it.
