Mighty Hunter: I refer to your post # 81, dated 31st March.
I can not believe that the line no longer has control over the aircraft it generates to meet the fying programme. How times have change.
In the past, it was a case of the squadrons (or ops cell) specifying the daily requirement, in terms of sorties and fits, but the line then determined which tail numbers filled those slots. (Flying hours being taken into consideration). It's the only way. No wonder you have so many failed sorties.
Also, your comments regarding robberies, have always been true. In the end you usually end up with damaged equipment and two U/S aircraft.
