Comp System.
As an ex RAF Mover, i have been a Comp A, and had faith in the system.
During my career i was involved in a fair few Comp's of all grades..
For me personally, it was the most rewarding side of the job, pulling out the stops for anyone to get them home to loved ones, whatever the reasons.
My last involvement was working alongside an Army mover in MPA in the JABC.. Joint Air Booking Centre.
During my 4mth sojourn, JABC were involved along with others in getting numerous personnel back to the UK. One that stands out was getting a Para and his sister a WREN home from MPA. This was done via Sao Paolo and i escorted both there. Sao Paolo could not have been more helpful.
No immigration issues whatsoever ! That in part maybe due to the Embassy staff.
I cant forget the Herc crew, engineers, police who also travelled total crew was around 12 i think...all for 2 people.
We even had private charter biz jets in to MPA to get personnel home..
Movers may not be everyones favourite trade, but please remember this. When the time comes, they can still provide a service that is 2nd to none.
I would strongly advise anyone not to try to circumvent the system. The Movers both Blue and Green have enormous expertise in this field and using Flight Reservations systems, they can see things that others wont see...
