Merry Christmas to all you guys working hard at Wyton.
What an outstanding display of ignorance. I appreciate that it is easy to lump all engineers in the 'blunt' box and dismiss the lot as oxy thieves who should be subject to public humiliation at every opportunity but do you
really think that you could do any better. But for the presence of experienced ex-front line engineers in the IPTs, the support that you recieve would be far worse than it is; the first question most of them ask when presented with some problem is, "What effect will this have on Ops or at first line?" and not, "Oh goody, another opportunity to p**s off the aircrew!"
If you have any queries about how hard they work at Wyton, call one of the RTSA guys there and they will explain it to you in simple terms.
