The reason your husband is acting this way is because his is a proffesional engineer who takes pride in his work.

For which he will get no reward.

If he hasn’t worked it out for himself already – he needs to care a little less about the flying program.

The time has never been better for a ‘work to rule’. When morale is low, and there is no motivation, there is no reason to make an extra effort.

Don’t cut any corners, don’t miss any meal breaks, don’t compronise on safety. Look after the young lads and gals below you. Imagine how bewildered they are. Your only focus is your shift Flt Sgt and JENGO…and shift change. And family.

For too long the engineering world has been a ‘can do’ outfit. I know of no other trade that will work a 12 hour shift in the pissing rain without a proper meal break.

The grown ups work on bar charts, graphs and budgets. Let them worry about the things that they are paid handsomely for.

Happy Christmas
