Well, these managers were still alive and well in BA until fairly recently….i remember getting shouted at in the middle of the crew room by a senior Flt Ops Tech manager for the crime of parking in a car park that he deemed me not to be worthy of. The look on his face when I fished out my temporary car park pass was a sight to behold. Skipper told me later I should have walked out of the room and taken it further . Life is too short though. Funnily enough, he didn’t last long either.
