The reason aircrew gripe and groan is because there are w@nkers like you to contend with on a daily basis. We do NOT get paid enough for that, I'm afraid.
For example, a crew of a heavy-jet in TTH (Look it up you loser) arrived to find themselves without accomodation available (should have been sorted out by the 'Support Staff'). No problem. Kip on the jet. The snag arose when they missed dinner, due to a 3 hour wait on the pan as a result of some very poor ground handling. The so-called 'Support Staff' refused to sign the F95, and claimed they should have anticipated the 3 hour wait and ordered a late meal! What planet are these people on?
AG, the worry is that you will remain in the RAF for some length of time, since even an outfit like Dixons would find your attitude well below the mark.
Aknowledged, there are some very helpful people out there, but you are obviously not one of them.
As for crass comments about Hercs at 150 Kts: have you ever been up in one at low level when they do their funky stuff? I didn't think so.
PVR now and do us all a favour. Let me know what Dixons say. <img src="mad.gif" border="0">
