I fear BZ used only Gordon Corps's name as alibi for insiders. The book of BZ shows the point of view of BZ. Franz Joseph Strauss was much more important in BZ's mind... behind himself and Baud.
Unions felt -with some realism- to be let outside the human teams. That means the most of the pilots were considered as strangers.
