Thanks for your kind comments HS. My only links with QR were as a frequent traveller in the past.
Mickoa - don't know what "expletive" you were attempting in your post. However, the terminated fellow was someone whom I flew with (as SLF) on several ocassions and I found him to be an extremely humble and harmless chap, as well as exceedingly polite. My opinion. That's all. And I'm entitled to it. Unless you also knew or know the fellow, you are not really in a position to otherwise contradict.
However, I would be the first to concede that he was foolish in doing what he did.
