We had a jock who would raid the first class bar filling up his hip flask and eat his crew meal..three courses ..in first class with a glass of wine.
Met up with a hostess from the early 70s who “accidentally” trapped his hand in a bar trolley when she caught him..CC hated him but you couldn’t say anything; one of those old British supposed class or Freemason cr@p.
We had quite a lot of guys who attempted to put on a public school accent and had “captain” in front of their name in the telephone book..me I went from Essex to rough Essex/cockney and had a mate who was public school put on an extremely bad cockney accent to take the mickey at the former.
My dad used to say it was Fred Karno’s circus.
Our union rep flew in the cockpit in air chance and not only did they have wine with their meal but a cognac afterwards with their coffee.
and now you can’t have a nice glass of wine and drive although antidepressants are allowed.
