Talking of big egos...............recall an account by the operating crew, of said subject of discussion, sending one of his flunkeys up to the flightdeck of a 747 (distinctly obtuse, lest retribution strikes again...) to "arrange" for his personal use of the crew bunk, presumably first class seats being extremely uncomfortable for the ministerial posterior..............
The "request" was refused by the operating crew at the time and that seemed to be the end of that. Upon return to base in SIN, phone calls obviously ensued and the crew were called into STC to ostensibly explain their "decision" re their refusal of the flightdeck bunk facility. Guess being a legend in your own mind goes hand in hand with a gargantuan ego!
