Congratulations Neil on your retirement after 36 years.

What an honour it was for you, for your son to fly with you on your last flight and then to have your other son, guide your landing in Toronto

What a fantastic privilege for you all
Happy Retirement Neil ( David Robertson on FB ) 😊😊👏👏👏👏🍷🍷

What a memorable moment and history for a family of aviators. Spending 35 years of your life flying is not mean feat especially in an inherently unforgiving world like aviation.

Many hearty congratulations Captain Neil. More safe trips to your FO son and the brother helping with the navigations.

Let's try to be posting positive posts about Nigeria and Nigerians.

I am not sure the West have something like Nairaland where the post something like a retiring black pilot.

Congratulations Captain. In my country, that is not allowed, you would have been hearing statements like, is the aviation sector meant for you and your family members, are they the only people that can fly plane? They have turn the airport to family business, this is tribalism etc.

How I wish Govt will apply the strict and unforgiving reality in aviation to other sectors.

Because thaf is the only reason why their is orderliness in the aviation world.

Atlantic. London to Toronto.
Aviation is one of the few core professions where relations are permitted to serve each other making stories like these very emotional.

To have a great, distinguished career and raise two children to undertake similarly distinguished careers. Not to mention working in the same field and one even working alongside you. This is what it means to be successful as a man. This is what it means to build societies.
