Well there you go.
Thanks for the replies so far...Look at all that experience!!! and versatility of people who have moved around between different companies and I suspect moving has not always been desired as airlines come and go. I know someone somewhere in that lot.
I still know of some of my contemporaries from the early 70's from BOAC who are still doing exactly the same crewing/ops job 30 years on at LHR with Big Brother (BA mainline). I must admit I am beginning to envy their index linked pensions, but have they enjoyed the bit in between as we have !!!!!!
