AS it has been reported that the BA captain accused of being "drunk" was later found to be clear, why did his resignation need to be "taken up" and, if it was already processed, surely BA could say "come back old chap!"
I cannot understand why he needed to resign (honourable man or not). Sadly nowadays more people appear to resign before they get the sack (especially "corrupt" police officers who manage to go on pension.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT I am not suggesting that the Captain referred to is corrupt, but I cannot see why if he knew he had had no drinkies and that he would be exonerated, what resigning would achieve-
(edits.. I see that elements of my query have already been answered).
