Well said boxjockey!
As taildragger has found out to his detriment on another ops thread, some ops guys seem to be very much stuck in the us and them past.
Splendid idea that you fly boys (and girls!) spend some time with the hard working ops lads - bit of appreciation for what the other side does never goes amiss - just be sure you can find you're way to the kitchen!
BTW, can I borrow some of those Lennon tapes, cr@p set of shifts just finished!
