Blindpew ' Admire all your posts in all sections. The bit about Gill threw me into deep nostalgia (that is a part of the overall Forum )) and while sad at news of his passing, had to reflect upon ; - What a way to go ! -
Dragged into the BA merger as a Northeast Trident First Office, I decided to quit. Got jobs everywhere but Laker 1-11 at Gatters won. Typical, one had to join the next day ! Colleague of mine also quit and told me he just went into Gill;s Office, handed in less than three month's notice, apologised, and left..
I stormed in, gave one day's notice telling Gill I had succeeded in getting in to CX and had to leave the next day. He was an absolute Gentleman, worked around the three month bit, chopped away at leave etc, shook hands and wished me well.
Laker contracted BEA for the 1-11 course and there I was, Heston again, a week later. Bumped into Gill. "What are you doing here ?" he politely asked. Red faced,I came up with nonsense and Gill just smiled. Nostalgia indeed.
