Two reasons why only one day a week:

1. Boss is a civvy and the UAS's won't let him play with the full train set during the week. He hasn't really got enough clout to fight his corner and he's a decent bloke so doesn't make waves.

2. He does all the week day flying there is himself. Sunday flying and Camp flying is given out in an interesting way too...precedence is given to those who turn up every weekend, because they've earned it I suppose. Those of us screaming out for hours have to wait our turn until all the high hours members, visiting regulars etc. have had their fill.

Cranwell keep sending out snotagrams about those of us who can't hack 50 hours each and every year and the Boss dutifully takes it to heart....nett result : no currently flying pilots left on the unit. Bloggs must be under the impression that all ex-mil pilots are in their dotage.

Used to be a great craic until the fun police got stuck in.
