WTBF....

You trying to suggest you are management material to someone above you?

In case you have not noticed....the operators are already engaged in such an effort but like most things in the helicopter industry...it was only partially successful.

They are holding the wages down...thinking we will consume less thereby accomplishing the goal of the plan you suggest but without having to pay the pilots for accomplshing that task for them.

It has backfired as most innovative thoughts from on high do....we are eating and drinking less....but due to cost issues we are sticking to cheap beer and high carb diets of potatoes, rice, and hamburgers....instead of the healthier but leaner fine wines, old whiskey and salmon, steak, and fresh fruit and green salads...all of which are beyond our means. After working fourteen hour days....we cram that fattening food down our gullet...wash it down with 29 tins of beer....so we are drunk enough to sleep in the midst of five snoring monsters. Thus, I fear your grand plan comes apart because the big oogahs have beaten you to it.
