What about the 'pilot' who joined a company as 'ops manager' and took all the calls for charters etc.
One would arrive at the office and he would come in 'off a job' - a job no one else had heard about - or was asked to operate.
Funnily enough, he was like,
at least number 10 down the seniority list.
He wasn't short of a bob (like the rest of us were) - only short of hours - but could afford to fly to another capital city every other weekend to work on a house he and his partner owned, and daddy got him a job in an airline nice and early in the piece thereafter.
Opportunism & nepotism - all in the same body.
Ah, the pilot 'fraternity'.
