The reds is full of tossers who think they are the ultimate, poncing about in open top classic sports cars, shades on and their pristine Armani flying suits on, even the groundies on the "circus" as it is known love themselves and look down on any other groundie ...
Not true. Any of it.

A popular view, but having been fortunate enough to fly with them a number of times, and knowing a good few of them, the vast majority of air and ground crew are excellent value for the tax payers money. they get asked to do more and more each year to justify their existence, and their schedules get busier and busier while they put their personal lives on hold and yet they still manage to sign kiddies autographs at airshows.

That kind of publicity is hard to come by.
