A very sad day indeed. Sir Maurice was a man of integrity and a true leader. A quality very rare in today's airline industry leadership. In his time he proved that one can have a successful, profitable airline whilst still respecting, maintaining and nurturing the human capital invested in the business. Sadly his legacy has gone with him.
R.I.P. Sir Maurice. He will always be remembered with respect by those of us who had the good fortune to work with him.
