As an airline pilot I wandered into this thread to see how the military are discussing the PM unfair dismissal. Personally I felt that he did not endanger his aircraft by allowing someone onto the flight deck but his actions were inappropriate and unjustified, especially for someone on a final warning.
I was disappointed to see the level of vitriolic mean-spirited back-stabbing against not only him but also JN. I sympathise JN that you should have to defend yourself on this forum. On the other side of the coin the VC10 pilots we went drinking with in Bahrain just pre 911 were a great team and very impressive.( I've since tried the same chat up lines on some of our girls but for me it just didn't work....)
