Folks,
At least one of them was/is a pilot, obviously didn't make much difference.
Being a pilot doesn't preclude you being an overbearing incompetent bureaucrat with attitude.
I would be more interested in the talk of an "Aviation Task Force" being formed in the Department of Infrastructure, with a couple of serious heavyweights already tagged for the exercise. I hope, against all reason and experience, that it is not just another "Yes, Minister" exercise.
Tootle pip!!
