There's a recurrent theme here - people who don't actually contribute
directly towards aircraft operations are often oblivious to the difficulties they cause those who do. The list is long and distinguished, as ProjOs for everything ranging from IT 'upgrades' to additional fitness tests, to stat-obsessed bosses press on with their pet projects, often with little regard for - or increasingly to the detriment of - the Service's primary purpose: generating aircraft. Thereafter the primary task suffers as staff struggle to cope with disruption caused by premature 'upgrades', are blamed for not adapting to changes they're not briefed or trained on, and are forced to take on additional responsibilities as the burden increases. So people become more stressed as they're disabled by unstoppable and uncompromising, contract-driven change, mistakes are made and bosses concentrate on apportioning blame.
It's rubbish and I'm off.
