Those'll be the 9-to-5 sqns, I suppose?

Personally, I thought that the biggest danger to one's well-being in the ME world came from sleep pattern disturbance and long hours with multiple time zone changes causing cumulative fatigue..... Going from working to 2300 report time, fly through the night to Gander and/or Dulles, min ground time, then back again was a lot more knackering than being chased around the gym by some whistle blowing kid in a tracksuit.

Same went for night tanker QRA; pager goes at 0-dark-00, check with Ops, in to work asap then up to 12 hours of Bear chasing.

It was a much happier place back when no-one bothered with the levels of niff-naff and triv which existed when I pulled the B&Y!
