Deary me, what a fuss!
It is generally well known who I work for and the guys there are a good bunch in the main. Certainly the lifers anyway. (with the possible exception of ONE who shall remain nameless).

Poor deluded soul. It would take me 4 weeks to learn your job but it would take you considerably more to get qualified in mine. I never tell OPS how to do their job. I do, however, feel at liberty to question certain decisions. If they don't like it TUFF!
KGMSY, it may sound very amusing to waltz into a flight deck and ask if the bugs have been set etc., except there's only one problem: you're not qualified to ask that question. You wouldn't know whether the pilots were telling the truth or not. So you should sit down, be silent, and speak when spoken to only.
The majority of ops guys are good at their job and they understand that we have certain responsibilities. We also have a thing called a licence which we don't want to lose because some pressurised Ops manager has to keep the show on the road. Would you deny that ocasionally (granted, rarely) you try it on with us and cajole us into flying outside of our limits?
KGMSY, Boredcounter, get a life or get a licence.
BTW, don't you have some hotacs to book or something?
