Farrell:
No squire, I had my very happy career in Laker ended by the scurrilous behaviour of Lord King and his fox-hunting colleagues in BA, PanAm, SABENA, KLM etc etc.
I really don't want to start things all over again but Lord King spoiled me for BALPA, BA and all things decent and left me very much out of work.
For those of you in BA who can be bothered to read this thread, I lost all of my pension but BALPA couldn't have give a damn.
In fact, they were quite pleased that Laker had been put out of business by BA.
I suppose the nice thing is that King has now gone, Adam Thompson (who told MDC that BCAL would never order another DC-10 as long as they supported Fred) went years ago with Altzheimers.
At least Fred is still running aeroplanes at the age of 82.
We have a reunion at LGW in September.
