What a great send off! THAT WAS CLASS.

Some airlines are far from that nice & have a trick up their sleeve:- have heard of it from a guy who was warned & later experienced it:

Final flight & you're met with or flew with a senior pilot. He offers you a glass of champagne/beer/other either in the cockpit or at the airport office. The unwitting retiring Capt thinks its awfully nice & takes the offer.

Drinking while on duty (on blocks + 15 or 30 mins....) and/or drinking while in uniform.

Fired.

Loss of certain entitlements or final month's pay in the contract world.

My buddy politely turned them down having been warned.
