Do RAFAT go u/s more than civvie air?
I can't recall any airline having to divert and put me up in a hotel. Only on one occasion have I experienced them "crewing out" on a see-off but had a spare jet within minutes.
We've always joked how long rafat takes to get you on det. We've had some ridiculous check-in times so many hours before the flight, that you wouldn't get with civair.
On the plus side, the Gateway at Brize has better transit rooms than the permanent junior ranks accom at Lossie !
