Question

King Rat???? I'm a bloody sheep for Chr***'s sake! How big are the moggies where you're at then?

The Vietnamese contract wound down slowly until all that was left was the 767 'C' Checks. Not much money in that, without the support contract. We did what we were engaged to do - teach the Vietnamese guys how to do it themselves and we succeeded.

Its very frustrating when the finger is pointed at us as a shower of w*nkers by the ticket sellers and beanies, but thats how it goes for engineers, I suppose. After all this time I'm used to it. Doctor Foster has set us to work designing a new cabin decor for the A319s that arrive next August, so now we're fashion designers - there's no-one else with the bottle to take it on. I think I might get to like this guy...
