Give it a rest guys. I think most of us are getting pretty sick of some of the w@nkers slagging off base guys, (except for you Heavyjet, I enjoyed that one), and the base guys slagging off SIT. I have worked in both and can say that most are a professional and smart bunch of fellas, regardless on whether they lube gears, rig flaps, or fix bleed defects in an hour flat.
To suggest otherwise is simply a display of ignorance and inexperience. Lets stay united and on topic.
