This place is dangerous. Everyone is afraid of thier own shadow. You even have to remember ACNs that have expired, and if you had not joined before the expiration; you still have to know them. Fuel: How about a tanker flight to night layover in BAH. You take 500 kgs extra to cover the APU burn while idly wasting away your unpaid hours, then get a letter saying do not take extra fuel. Resolution - do not take extra fuel and pick up 500 kgs at BAH after having tanked all that extra fuel to Bahrain in the first place. Anyway how much did it cost to tank 500 kgs extra to BAH anyway? It costs more to employ a Pilot to draft the letter of insult. "Be a man and fill in the form" ~ grow up!

Then you have the 'Flight Safety' office; most of them are decent guys, but they are headed by a plank of wood, the well respected Kiptin Dumb~rage; no longer a pilot but loves to insist he is called Kiptin. We are punished while he wobbles his head in glee. What a circus.
