I only met PM once whilst at BHX a few years back - I and anothor pilot were having a quiet chat outside the crew room and PM comes past and says "Getting our stories straight lads?...." Actually it was quite amusing and quick witted. No problem at all.
However PM I think you are for the chop on this one - it would set too much of a precedent if you won - plus you broke the rules and worst of all - got found out.
A colourful guy all the same. Life does go on. Good luck!
