Throttle Pusher
'.....He appeared genuinly surprised that his words had created so much bad feeling and, after much alcohol induced beratement, appologised for his comments......'
Well no doubt the AVM in question (presumably promoted since then) now feels his conscience is clear - but a drunken apology to one guy at a dining in night does not undo the damage his earliers remarks had made!
It also speaks volumes that none of his flunkies around him had told him of the impact his remarks had had!!
By the way TP, I'm not having a go at you - full marks for taking him to task!!
