I see the C130 Capt is back flying as a co-pilot.
Probably used to that side anyway with that sort of experience and is probably an instructor as well.
Personal file will be at the top of the pile.
Just wait some plum job will be in the offering.
Bad luck about the public perception, the only thing the public were concerned about was losing to the Auks and they had to vent their spleens on something. My bet is that the pilot was probably from Canterbury originally anyway otherwise no interest would have been shown.
