Ace, that's very true. It is unconscionable to use other unsuspecting people for your own selfish agenda.

An alteon canuck connived to do him in after the fuel leak fiasco.
There was an Aussie management chap who thought he could capitalize on the incident to earn brownie points of his own with KAL management. He suggested that the actual fuel leak scenario be used as the mainstay of the then fledging KAL LOFT simulator program. He had hoped to be the chief of training, to head that program as a matter of course. However the Alteon boys did not take kindly to using some heroic scenario not of their own and they killed the idea. One of the Alteon instructors confided in me the petty envy and jealousy that cropped up was incredible. Those unsavory going ons hastened his decision to retire. The pettiness and cattiness were unbelievable.

That poor sod became the target, to be " brought down " a few rungs to reflect his third world origin. He certainly had no idea then that his incident was used to further someone else's ambitions in the turf wars until much later.
