ATN; Yes, h u g e drift. From AE at NCL to prangs at FNC. Interesting Stat provider (sorry, just can't wade through it all ) asks of 1985 "still no AE through NCL). I joined in 1983 and logged many "W" patterns through NCL. Indeed, Command Assessment trip was LGW-NCL-LGW in 1985. We were handled by DAN (hardly trying to see them off the turf ?) .
Just on the F100 issue, we all wondered about the fokker additions but history, if you really get into it, will show why. Indeed at one Staff/ Management meeting, I bravely stood up & asked why we were fielding a F100 on the Rome service against BA 767. Management clone, suspected BA plant retorted, "Well, better you just fly the planes and leave us to "manage ." I joined a steady group who walked out for fresh air.
Back on thread though; Passed the Assessment & went on to many NCL visits but we were never Based there. Pity. Loved the place. AE & NCL !
