Pit Crew, Ground Ops, Engineers et al have to realise we are runing a business, not a social club.
Well you are running a business now. By continually de-skilling the workforce and running down the business like they did at Ansett, it won't last forever.
You appear to be oblivious to the small warning signs. The little issues that you say aren't there. Yes we have identified a number of them but it is the bigger underlying problems that go unnoticed that are of a greater concern.
Wake up and smell the roses bloke. Your social club will end if the business does and I suspect your social club is of a different nature to that of our members.
