Knackered 48 Year old?
It is the knackered 40+ types with no axe to grind, no career to push and no nose to brown that will grasp the nettle and inform, off line of course, the seniors that they may wish to reconsider some of there more irrational decisions. I never wanted to be 'Deputy OIC the Woodwork Club' so why should I do it just to get promoted. I would like to recount a scene from a fast jet crewroom some years ago:
Sqn Ldr Flt Cdr "I think we should be doing more lights-out night intercepts'
Knackered 40+ Spec Aircrew type "Why don't we see if we can get it right with the lights 'on' first?"
That, to me, sums up the requirement for PAS/Spec Aircrew/Wisdom of age knackered 40+ types
