I had the pleasure of having a few pints in my local with a Concorde F/E several years ago, and wot a gentleman he was, happily putting up with bone questions from 3 Airbus drivers. It is very sad to see such a proffesional group being treated so shabbily. To be offered a cabin crew position is such a waste of engineering knowledge
Out of interest what was the severance deal for the large number of F/Es made redundant with the rapid demise of the 747 Classic 2 years ago?
Are their oppurtunities available with EAL, DAS, and other outfits in UK and Europe that have a/c requiring F/Es despite it being a dying trade?
As for Bannister i groan and reach for the bucket every time i see him on the telly. Is he the only Concorde driver? and what fleet is he going to? This said i can"t help thinking that this will all get sorted out and the F/Es will move on and be succesful in any new career.
