AT Ops
If a crew know that they are going to be offered this unacceptable accomodation, as verified on numerous occasions, then surely it is up to the AT Sqn to go into bat? I understand that it is an Op, but if acceptable accom is available nearby, especially as the return leg is planned for 14 hrs......
You don't live in tents in Op Palliser!
IFS
It is not good enougth for you to slope their shoulders. What the heck do you think your job is? You have sufficient anecdotal evidence to go into bat. Perhaps we need some stronger 'leaders' at IFS. It's the same as saying that the AvMed guys are powerless to affect transop times (red- eyes etc)when there is no justifiable reason available. Why bother with the FS courses if you don't practice what you preach?
Tolerate this and your children will be next.
