Sorry to read that you aren't going to "make anymore on this". Guess this means you don't "choose" (as you said in your rather snooty, castigating post to me) to answer the questions I asked.
Ah well, InFin, I suppose your last post to RD would not fit within your definition of "snide"? The chap you describe might take issue with you on that one. And what on earth is wrong with champers and cake, then?
With respect, there are many styles of management that have no place in aviation, and most of those have been discussed on this thread, a thread I have thoroughly enjoyed - up to the point where you became the self-appointed thought policeman.
As to your remark to RD about fraud, the practice he describes is scurrilous, immoral even, but (rather like bonding) it is not unlawful. Neither is it amazing.
TTFN.
