Jackspice - I'm sure your stupid comments about field conditions will be well appreciated by those unfortunate 'crabs' whose required presence in this theatre of operations is going to require them to suffer an extended stay in their desert prison camp.
No doubt all the "Must go and see the chaps, presh the flesh, get the grass roots view" high-price w@nkers who will turn up around Christmas will also stay in Al Butlin's? Or maybe they'll have to put up with the 'normal' standards of the Intercont.?
At a time when "The chief problem is that of adequate crew rest" for crews required far to exceed mandatory fatigue limits, for a Certain Senior Officer allegedly to have said, one day, to a sqn co-pilot that 'there is a fine divide between Flight Safety and blackmail' would be an act of gross negiligence in failing to act on the genuine concerns of his subordinates.
Gross Negligence. Ring any bells?? BŁoody well ought to.....
