From Kieran Daly, Group Editor, The Flight Group
The following letter is in this week's Flight International (6 December issue). Its authenticity has been verified:
Dear Sir,
“Recently an individual or group has used my name to publish a letter headed ‘New Roster is a dozy idea’. I would like it to be known that I did not write this letter nor did I communicate these thoughts verbally at any point. I am yet to establish as to why my name has been used in such a way.
It was very distracting to find out about the letter 3 hours before a flight and flight safety could have been compromised by the thoughtless actions of the real author. Fortunately as a professional I remained focussed.
The REAL Captain Clive PHILLIPS Luton Bedfordshire”
