Nobull****,
I have worked in AEI for years (I don't any more) and I feel entitled to certify that your statements are a load of c**p.
Although very few Brit Cpt have proven being low range, the vast majority were estimated professionals I enormously enjoyed working with, and whose relation Cabin/Flight Deck I deeply miss.
Despite your name, your post sounds like what we call a "difesa d'ufficio" coming straight from a "trombato", or worse, a AEI staff member...that staff, all italian, that (with its bad faith, lack of ethics, amateurism and megalomany) eventually made me decide leaving the company for much healthier shores.
Regarding the facts, I know the Purser, and am very surprised of the matter, as he is a very professional an calm person.
But, even if the Capt in question were to blame, I find it appalling that he was left stranded out of the home base by the company without the possibility of an explanation.
