To this day, I still chuckle to myself when I think of Fat Lad sitting in the Base Captains meeting and tell everyone to expect a nice surprise in their pay following Bristows muti million pound buy in of Eastern.
Context: Eastern had 'enjoyed' the worst T&Cs in the industry and its Crews had to put up with a single 2% pay rise in about 7 years. Crap beyond belief.
So you can only imagine the delight when people eagerly opened their pay slips to find a one off payment of........ £20. And that was 'kin taxed!
Thanks Richard, you tw*t!
