One team, one fight. Hoorah...

Here's a useful tip: I tie my pencil to my leg with a piece of elastic, then it doesn't go very far if I drop it. The piece of elastic is long enough so that all areas of my kneeboard can be reached but short enough to stop me from poking myself in the eye by accident.

I dread to think what would happen if a Herc pilot fell asleep at the controls. I wonder if the other pilot would manage until they woke up again?

Aircrew are not the only people to operate under these conditions, and i really hope the Docs, nurses sentries etc get to sleep well too.
In fact, we should produce a list of those trades who are entitled to sleep, and those who can stay up all night guarding the rest of us. At least that would stop all this bickering and arguing.
