Interesting to hear from Angrier Radar on here. Please don't leave the forum and keep up the good work.
Don't be too unkind to our friend from the NE. He is working hard in a new environment which can have a very high workload subject to last minute changes at the whim of the customer.
All these changes may have ramifications for fuel planning, C of G, performance, deck and standby boat availability, procedural approach briefing, IFR alternates, icing etc etc etc.... or he may be trying to eat his bacon roll and drink his coffee at the same time.
