When 'Star Trek' was a major TV show, I used to fly with a Birmingham based 1-11 Captain called Dick Kyrke. a super guy who used to always be able to lift passengers heads from their papers with his " Captain Kirk here" welcome p/a at the start of his flights.
Dick is retired now, a great pilot and a genuine friendly team player; in the old days when all Captains were 'Sir' and many would get very uppity when anyone dared to use their first name, he was always first to offer his hand and a " please call me Dick" when you flew with him.
Safe Flying
