Just taking a moment to reflect folks, as yesterday 19th was a sad day at Brum cos our oldest Performance Manager Ian Mackenzie, who opened up the BA base in 1972, finally took early retirement. He was a nice guy and looked after so many of us with problems, using good humour, compassion and his long expereince to resolve our problems and made us feel special. I know he reads prune as we have spoken about it, so I hope you have a long and happy retirement mate.
As for uniforms, loads have arrived, so it looks like we will all be in
red next Sunday. The Welcome to Flybe course is OK, looking at the obcs, drills for catering, uniform regs etc. You get back what you put in, I sort of enjoyed that.
Rosters are out, I hear there are some 'drive yourself to SOU, operate 4 sectors' type trips! What's that all about, a 4 hour drive then operate!!!!!????? If I get one and they don't supply MT I shall be filling out a 'chirps' form I can tell you, can't be safe can it? I do that run to the coast to visit friends, its a nightmare at the best of times, can't imagine driving it then flogging up to LBA then CDG! Wonder what Ian Mac would think about that!
What's this on the pilots thread about ryanair opening a base in BRS? Anyone heard anything? Still mad at flybe for shutting down a great base, super place to fly from, crew are lovely.
Safe Flying All!
