Rain again

Well there may be many things that strike you as odd here but imagine the dilemma facing the oil company man. Company A says it's raining too much and Company B says it's not.

Now, you have just been briefed that 50 % of C30 failures were due to maintenance related issues (50% of your fleet are 76As) and the main issue was 'fuel contamination'.

As a non-aviator how do you get your head around that and can you really believe this European interloper when he says what a load of b*****ks.

If you want to hear about another interesting Brazilian idea how about this. With the midday meal break enshrined in the employment laws and eating and drinking in the cockpit frowned upon the very Brazilian solution was - EVERYBODY STOPS FOR LUNCH. No joking, everything stops.

Well now that the N Sea guys have got 'equal time' rosters they can get to work on the midday meal-break.

Ho Ho
