I have to say this, Jack was a good bloke but he wasn't on the CV880 fleet when the last flights took place. As to there being "No dissention), a then junior captain declined to operate a flight to Saigon and was immediately, hauled in to the office, to "Discuss his future" and when he was finally allowed to have his say, it was decide that he had a valid point. His objection was that to operate in to a known, active, "War Zone" on his existing insurance would void the coverage. The company had to actually self insure on that. The man in question went on to become management, himself.
