If the circumstances are as reported, the CP has totally mishandled this sitiuation. IMHO, he should have publicly praised his FI, the company would then have gained a lot of free publicity, of the best type there is!
Instead, now look what he's done........
The CAA may not have given a jot, but for his ill advised submission of an MOR. As for demanding payment from the hero himself - WHAT is this country coming to? I despair.
I too will chip in for a whip round if needed, as a point of principle.
