Octane,
The pilot had to wait a few days because Erik (CSOAF) was out of the country at the time. As soon as the latter returned he had the Jag driver 'down the runway' within 48 hours. I believe he was able to carve a successful new career for himself with Cathay, and am sad to relate that his untimely demise (cancer) was reported on these forums within the last few years.
