Met Man

Flying is very often a demanding business, and thats why you perceive that we are being demanding. The met can have huge implications on our choice of routing etc, and with any backup plans we may need if it all goes horribly wrong. Often when decisions are to be made there is no time to sit and ponder. We need to know that the info we get is as accurate as posible, because that is what we will base our decisions on.

Fone Effect/Turnbull. .I'm sure the Met men keep doing the things they do whether its 8/8 blue or all fogged in. Don't you think that as aircrew we seldom fly along and say "The Met Mans right again", we just comment when they have go it wrong - Bit unfair really! It seems to have taken a long time to get a met man to show up on the forum, if we are unduly harsh, we won't see any again. Not all professions have our ability to handle huge amounts of straight talking and banter.
