Horizon Travel, Holiday Tour Operator, created Orion, their in-house airline. Both traded very successfully and were eventually sold to the Thomson Travel Group, who own their own in-house airline, Britannia, all of which is now owned by TUI.
O the good old days report for duty, take the handover and go down the flying club for a few sherberts and oggle at the DAD's (Dan Air Dogs * a well known group of crew on temp assignment to EMA * non PC statement, nice bunch of lasses really).
Crews worked hard, played hard, none of this us and them bollixs, never heard the F word once. None of the it's all about me moaning Nigels (sorry Giggler) O I've had my roster changed 3 times in the last hour (the curse perhaps of e-crew access to rosters, in the old days the rosters changed just as much just the crews never knew it!!)
Somebody transport me back there please. Now days its all too much like hard work...
