Jock, you joined GF a whinger, tortured us during your stay here with your never-ending-whinging and now after you have left, you still carry on about GF issues. Stay with your own game plan.
As for your comment on somebody else's method of operation, it's damn right unprofessional to judge in the manner you did. Why I'm even wasting my time to reply to your post is beyond me.

Not me mate...I am airframes..
I was actually at a seniour GF management meeting...
honest... you can ask the waiters at the Brit Club...they were presenting to us the case for Gf getting Concorde for the Bahrain/Dahrans...a very convincing presentation by the way...we have two more meetings with them scheduled for next week...got to run along now to accounts to claim my expenses on our week in Zurich...my wife really enjoyed it there and loved first class.
