Before plying the skies I used to drive artics to earn a bean. The driver getting sacked for "having no tie" story rings a bell. My Father also drove for a living working for an associated firm, Irlams.He once received a boot in the rear from Mr Irlam himself for not wearing a tie! Man you stink of diesel after 5days living in a truck, never mind the tie.
Anyway. Wonder if he'll name the aircraft as well
