Body found hanged at Heathrow
 

Tragic, one of the things about working in aviation if you aint a pilot engineer atc etc your more than likely to be employed by some cowboy outfit that pays you peanuts and treats you like dirt

It's a huge shock, I can tell you, when you're told you're redundant. I had a fair bit saved, but you still feel very alone, strangely moreso when you have family, because they rely on you. To feel that he had to go to that extreme is tragic.

Sad that he didn't have the confidence/support to see his way through it, but I can understand, sometimes in life "enough is enough" & the difference between this, & what most of us do (go out & get trashed ) is perhaps smaller than we realise.


Note to Mods, BTW, this thread reminds me, can't we have "agony aunts" back ?

I have seen threads here/jetblast that really deserved to be located somewhere more . . . . "sensitive" & although there was always a degree of black humour/p1ss-taking on AU it was (IMHO) a worthwhile forum.
