memories, memories and old wounds Potteroo for bringing up 1989. True we have a few dishonourable first officer chaps who ventured into the grey holes of Africa and Middle East only to surface in Korean as widebody skippers; and instructing the Koreans to boot! Miracles of miracles
2 blokes come to my mind. One went to be be an SQ f/o, then to KWI then to KAL miraculously as A300-600 captain, later fired after being upgraded to the 777s now with VA. The other ansett f/o went incognito/incommunicado for a few years and turned up together with the earlier chap to be B747 classic skipper in KAL, now upgraded to the B744. Go figure.
