Why Nigel?

A reference, possibly, to the predominantly public school nature of BA flightdeck crew in the past. I was told recently by a very long serving CSD that it dated back to the 50's... or maybe before... when cabin crew used to joke about the flight crew always being "Captain Nigel, First Officer Rodney, and Charles, the Flight Engineer."
There you go, Nigel, Rodney and Charles. Don't know if it's true, but it seems quite..... elegant.

Yeah he's still going strong! I don't know what he was doing then, but he's a 737 Captain at the moment. He's due to retire very shortly, "Going back to hassle the wife for a change"!
... And yes, that accent adds to the charm!
