Sorry to hear that, Pipertommy. Sadly, it's a situation that's being repeated right around the world at present. One hopes that your colleagues are young enough and fit enough to find other roles soon.
Caaardiff, I guess my frustration with PPrune is that, in this context, it doesn't actually achieve anything positive ... although I am equally convinced that some of the "no blame reporting" that goes on here unofficially is hugely valuable. Venting irritation is all very well and can make you feel good for a little while ... but so does masturbation.
Now, if the community here could direct its efforts, that would be another matter altogether. Just a thought - I'm going to pop a pro-CWL website up. Easy enough to do. In deference to the admins, I won't put the URL here. PM me for it.
