When I joined CX 30 years ago, the airline had a reputation for employing some captains who had little regard for concepts such as CRM. Although this rang true for me with some of the captains I flew with, a large number of the “old CX” captains I had the pleasure of flying with were first class blokes. I have nothing but very fond memories of flying with Ken and some other very fine gentleman...Mike Miller for instance.
RIP Ken and Mike.
