Great CRM training, this thread is.
I do hope I am able to remain civilised and respectful to the engineers I meet on line for the rest of my career upstairs. I certainly value and trust the chaps I work with now.
The poor blokes are under threat of redundency, yet remain professional and cheerful. Sometimes we do sit on minor snags, as we are fully aware the old bus is constantly on the go, but gets a breather for 3 hours on the weekend where the lads get time to chase down and fix stuff. It's a close knit base though and we all know and get on well.
I apologise for the fact more stuff goes in the book after sectors just before the long turnarounds, but it is with the best intentions.
MY seat, sorry ,the one I'm allowed to sit in when they finish, just seems to get used for throwing the tech log and their outdoor jackets on.
Best wishes to the BACON IOM line!
