Agree entirely. He was 63, nearing retirement. So he pitches up at hotel reception, musters and shares a ride to the airport, navigates pre flight, navigates to the aircraft, time and time again, and no one, not one, over his career stretch, knew? The AME that conducted his medicals, and his SIM rides???

And then bingo, one alert security person pulls him at EDI? Mmmmmmm...
