I'm not sure what your 'beef'' is with Mick Smith, but as far as my friends at ISK are concerned, he is right on cue with hjis comments.
As for the PVR rates since the crash, the fact is that:
a) the number of Nimrod aricrew PVRs HAS gone up
b) the number of requests from Nimrod aircrew to come off flying ops has also gone up
c) the problem is not only with Nimrod MR crews! I understand the R fleet is having a similar 'debate'
I have little time for journos, only because 99% of what they write is utter 'tosh, however, on this occasion Mr Smith has got it correct, and I for one applaud him for publishing it. Thanks Mick
