I am delighted to announce that at the tender age of 62 I will soon be mostly converting onto the Queen of the Skies (747-400) on which I shall complete a 39 year professional flying career. I say goodbye to

They have almost certainly been raised by parents who did not believe in discipline or the importance of a sound role model, instead preferring to let the child find its own morality. Or possibly by the feckless troublemaking class.
