In recent memory, at the secret Oxon airbase, the Stn Adj was heard to say that Aircrew should do the Sat/Sun OO duty as they were used to working at weekends. It would have been a great wind up but I fear it was a genuine comment.
About the same time Admin Wg did not attend the Flight Safety day as "Flight Safety is nothing to do with us"
BTW close the bases over Xmas? - Have another look at those AD, AT, SAR etc commitments. Why not ask those who do not contribute to the 24/7 tasks to take on the Stn duties over their "grant".
