The "
knock on the door at midnight",
D.M. was metaphorically referring to the AN management pilot who was, apparently, not altogether happy that his actions were above board, and that their publication here on
PPRuNe exposed him for what he REALLY is!
The old adage, "
Be careful - the toes that you step on today may well be connected to the @rse you will have to kiss tomorrow" is especially applicable in aviaton, even moreso today than say 12 years ago, as ever more pilots find it necessary to venture o/s to find employment.. .The young ex-AN F/O's are going to be around for a loooong time and if they follow in similar footsteps to their predecessors, are going to end up in positions of authority.. .Having been through the traumatic experiences you have - and are, currently - undergone, certain personalities will remain forever burnished in your memory.
