Hi, Pete.. .. .As another of your trainees, I'd like to add my best wishes for your retirement. Is it true that only one manager managed to phone to say goodbye? And that that was only to ensure you returned all kit?. .. .I haven't flown with this female , but so many horror stories mean that some must be true. If ever a job should be won by ability, ours is it. Positive discrimination in any form is a creeping cancer of the PC age, and must be stopped.
