Some of what you say is flannel, though some good explanations of subjects I am already aware of.
The point is, I am fellow aircrew and find it hard to either rationalise or explain/defend an AT crews atitude from time to time. I share the same colour uniform, supposed ethos and values.
If I find it difficult (not always) , what about the Army/RN/Civvies you carry?
Either you are stuck in the heydays, or you have a comms snag between yourselves and the customer. Your gonna have to confront one.
Anyway, I hope you all have a happy new year, wherever you are!
