["The one good to come of privatisation is serviceable aircraft - our IPT seem proud of a pathetic 12.5% serviceability which just wouldn't be tolerated in industry."]
I think you will find that the 12.5 figure is not a percentage - rather an average number of available aircraft per day.
Not even the most inept tabloid journalist would believe any organisation would be happy with 12.5% equipment serviceability
