What an absolute joke.
I can see it now too in the next fleet newsletter:
Dear Gus, I thought I'd never have to write to you, but now I have... The Saga of CX256...
...
And I'd like to end it by thanking my cockpit crew who were invaluable, the cabin crew, the ground staff, IOC, and the terrific people of Almaty... couldn't have done it without you...
It's like a warped, sick version of an Oscars acceptance speech.
Pathetic.
