Lowball,
Hmmh - I can see where you are coming from, but you obviously aint looking at it from our (I include Owe Ver Der Chooote in the Royal We) in that it is pretty depressing to turn up for work in the full knowledge that you are going to spend your day ground running and airtesting which prevents full mission planning, sortie development and use of the simulator for that all too important trigger action.
Come and spend some time here at Dishforth and you will get a gist of what we are talking about. Binge flying is great and we all know we can get our skills and drills back up to speed pretty quickly, but how come Wallop has an MTP for less aircraft and surely there is better use of our time!
Now take it back it to DAAvn that you want to Moth ball his other 6 aircraft in between major exercises and Ops- then watch the minimums, currency and comptency all go by the wayside (15 hours a month - your having a laugh aren't you)
Now where was your crate of beer?
