HC, thanks for the info. With regard to the clients, you're right, most of the workforce offshore doesn't understand, even more so in the ESB believe me! One of my headaches recently has been to try and convince them that things are improving as your aircraft gets hours under it's belt. I'm employed by the same as you, though I'm highly involved with just one of the clients and want nothing more than to please the folks offshore. I just get wary of any bashing between types, especially as we'll be operating both soon but any worthy info I take onboard!
