A Victory for Common Sense
Meetings and briefings this week.
Probably in the New Year we are going to undo the mistakes made last December, and split back into J & K Sqns.
It is stressed that this is not going back to what we had before!
I'd like to point out that we are in effect going to be back to the A & B Line situation of the mid-90's, before the 'Twin Fleet Ops' 24/30 - 47/LXX of the late 90's till Dec '04.
Highlights from the 'Any Questions?'
Q. Sir, do you intend to hold anyone accountable for the mess that you have inherited?
A. This is a time to move forward etc...
Q. (SAC Rigger) Why did I spend all night recently in Basrah re-roleing an a/c to full passenger fit and when I saw it off it had one passenger carrying an envelope?
A. Er...
And about a dozen questions about gate guard, detachments, sport, CCS, IRT, etc
I'd like to congratulate the Value Stream Analysis Team who have done the work, and the new OC Eng for listening to his SNCO's.
Too late for the 39 redundancies and the dozen PVR's though.
Now, what shall we call ourselves?
A & B Line? - not allowed
24/30 Eng Sqn & 47/LXX Eng Sqn? - not allowed
JES & KES - (that's what I heard)
K & J Line - whether you like it or not!
Operating from the same respective hangars that A & B Line were using two re-orgs ago!
...and another thing
To the Aircrew who complained that there were no serviceable aircraft and he had just seen some of the lineys playing volleyball...
I should warn you that your life is in danger.
If I find out who you are I will personally **** in your hat.
