The Honourable Company Of Air Pilots hold their awards dinner this Thursday 27th October
Given the Daily Telegraph story today are they still planning to give her a Masters Medal alongside Tim Peake despite having the embarrassment of rescinding this letter earlier in the year?
I have had quite a few pm's suggesting the award could be overturned by votes at the HCAP AGM next spring. Rumour has it some of the younger members and indeed the Australian and Hong Kong branches are not happy.
20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Steve Slater,chief exec of the LAA is quoted in today's Telegraph.
“This issue has divided opinion but it is not for me to decide.
“I am happy that the members feel able to air their views and it’s down to the members to decide.
“The award was made in good faith but in the light of what has emerged since we made the award, it is fair to say maybe we would have made a different decision.”
