Dear KYGMSY,
You stated, <What I'm implying is that there are pilots that take the p*** out of you saying we can't do our job and there are others who are always keen to do any flying, no hassle at all. These guys are great.>
Not quite sure just what point it is you are making. By the way, pilots take the p**s out of everybody. They take particular pleasure when winding up one of their colleagues. It's all just 'A JOKE'.
When I've planted one (again) I expect a giggle or two, that's life I'm afraid. Now you Chaps & Chappesses also make 'admin errors'. And guess what? We take the p**s. Well no harm done then, it's better that than an official complaint isn't it?
About the 'others' who who are always keen to do any flying, no hassle at all. Will you do any work, any time? Personally I will only do extra work if it a)pays, and b)if it convenient to me. Call me a fool but that is the way I play it.
Regards
Exeng
