Since he's been gone long enough AND I've only ever heard one man voice any form of complaint against him (*see below), I see no reason why we shouldn't stretch the Pprune rules just a little and name a man who, black as the ace of spades, was one of the most capable and agreeable managers I've ever had the pleasure of working with - Leroy Lindsay.
Leroy, you're sadly and greatly missed in the Sandpit, but I suspect you're glad to be gone, as I don't think you'd like working as an EK manager under the present 'rools'.
(*The exception that proves the rule was a particularly humourless training manager who once said that Leroy was 'hopeless' in his job - because he put too much effort into looking after the interests of the pilots. I'd have to say that Leroy should plead guilty to that charge.)
I must say that the assistant to the FMB, female (but white), goes close to filling Leroy's shoes.
