Thanks Rigga, that is pretty much the pre-conceived mental image I have of this plan thats coming.

An example given was in an effort to save time reconfiguring the aircraft from gunnery/guns installed back to drop tanks on a daily basis or thereabouts, it is seen more 'Lean' to have for 1 week all aircraft configured for gunnery tasks period. This way the time saved reconfiguring each jet will allow for other maintenance activity.

From a beancounters perspective this no doubt on paper has a lot of merit to it.

It goes back to that old flowchart whereby, on the ground floor something looks like sh1t and it stinks, by the time it gets to the top of the chain its considered manure and promotes growth therefore the boss enforces the manure onto the worker..

Will go in with eyes open and a positive mindset though, as morale will improve or the beatings continue..
