top guy.
Hope he enjoys a well deserved, and hopefully lengthy retirement.

Close, but you have it backwards. Quiet confidence, experience and ability was more of an affront and threat to the man in my case.
That trigger wasn't only limited to your hero. Ask many an experienced new joiner back when the airline could still attract them.
None miss the twisted place a bit.

The way I see it, everyone has the right to celebrate the departure in the way they see fit. Too bad some can’t handle the brutal honesty of others and admit there is more to this story that’s not being discussed here. Too bad this ill-advised thread was started. This thread is about your hero, if your confident enough in your own assessments, why care what I think and grasp for ways to let the guy off my hook?
I‘m just as happy celebrating alone and have put it off long enough. Good riddance and yet a happy retirement to you; "Sir" and thank you OP for the invite to the retirement party. It was a hoot.
Btw, I left a little something in the punch bowl.
Ciao

Now you can get back to the big retirement party held here on PPRuNe.
You are almost as anal as he was.
Australian maybe?

He had an unshakeably heavy grasp of the irrelevent.
3 hour debriefs, always focused on the obscure, meaningless details.
Zero focus on the big picture, which Keith left in his office when he fired
him from management, there is more to flying than nits, should have
been an auditor, people speaking of not suffering fools-SHEESH
