Just to make a point, I am sitting in LGW waiting for my flight back to MAN after operating all night on 2 sectors from SFB via BGR. 11.5 hours flight duty and still a couple of hours before I get home to bed. I thought I'd pop into an internet cafe here to check out the latest on PPRuNe and would you believe it the web site was down and I had to phone the US to get tech support ovwer there to fix it. Now, I sit here reading this thread and realise that some people have no idea what is involved in running this site.
Apart from PPRuNe Pop who is retired but leads a hectic social life the rest of us have full time jobs in the industry and can only spend time on PPRuNe when not at work or recovering from jet lag or other forms of 'airline fatigue'. Please be patient if you see a thread that obviously shouldn't be here because it is possible, believe it or not, we could all be at work, away down route or just asleep and there is no one here to do the dirty work for a while.
Anyway, got to rush, my flight boards in about 30 minutes and this thread has got to be moved to a more 'appropriate forum'.... let's see now.... eeny meeny miney... MO... Aircrew Notices I think. At least until I get home and have a few hours kip and unfraggle the old grey matter.
(PPRuNe Towers knows the problem of my long haul flights and the 'anti-cosmic radiation' hat I have to wear. ; He'll have to explain.)
