Dear BUSMONKEY,
If Angus has finally decided to retire then it is indeed a very sad day for Aviation.
Before you 'bash' someone with a fine record in the Aviation Industry, well respected on both sides of the Atlantic you should note that Angus is well known for being hands on,running a very tight ship and not suffering fools likely be they Office Staff, Pilots or indeed the Cabin Crew.
Many people (including myself) were fortunate to work with Angus and learned much whilst serving with him. Personally I always found Angus to be very fair but I can understand that if you are a Pilot you may not have experienced 'his better side.'
Many people in CUN also remember Angus and how he masterminded the relief effort to fly in water, medical supplies etc during the devastating hurricane a couple of years ago.
In my opinion, we shouldn't 'Thank the Gods' - The Airline business needs more people like Angus during these troubled times... sadly, I note few who come anywhere near his stature.
I trust that others will join me in wishing Angus well in his retirement.
DUNKINDONUT.
