Stables is an idiot,
Many years ago he verbally assaulted a ground staff member at an airline I was flying for, all because he was late to the gate and the doors were shut on the aircraft and being prepared to taxi. He lost his temper and made a royal dick of himself! Abused the CSO at the gate. He was running around yelling "do you know who I am! I am Ian Stables!"
Looks like nothing has changed for the guy.
