Fair enough..in which case, if it's ok with TOFU, I'd like to pick up on F3's comment about HR running a mile, which is absolutely right as is his point about "showing everyone else up" . This can however cause issues of its own when ex SP can respond with impatience or worse to others perceived (or real) inadequacies. Btw, and I'm not necessarily attempting to make a wider point here, but re. "Illegal practices", of the four serious issues of deliberate rule-breaking I've encountered in my civil flying career, three were committed by ex SP.
