No! No! Anyone but the Fawlty Towers waiter!!!
Pleeeease go. Very soon. Just go. Its the best thing you could do for the sake of SMS.
Never a dull moment here.
11 HR enhancements the man says. Oh goody. They have been burning the midnight oil, haven't they? Come and join us on the doggo comrades. We're all stark raving bonkers on the doggo. 30 planes on frequency? Nooooooooo problemo! More tea?
The best one- an extra C3 shift on......wait for it........ Thursdays! Yes, thats it. Thursdays. ONLY Thursdays. Lets hope someone tells the airlines this is the best time to fly. NO-DELAY-THURSDAY. Yippeeee! Maybe its half price too?! And a free Disney T shirt for every child- or 45 year old supervisor. Wooohooo! Where do I sign up?
Still, we have plenty of staff. Course we do. The letter said so. You know, the letter the man-who-shall-not-be-mentioned had a gun put to his head to sign. That one. And the paper said so today too. Says we have enough rabbits, sorry, staff, to handle 68 now. Honest! Its in black and white! Pity most of them are 5 years from their first rating and several with 30-40 years experience just resigned- er, moved on.
Also on the grapevine, those lazy sods with ratings in the office will be on STANDBY on weekends- only cos we have so much staff you understand. Good plan. Make the buggers work. I mean they're not doing anything are they? 'Cept training the dozens of new ones who are already counted as Controllers. Thats all. Skip a few sim sessions? So what. As the Chief honcho says - give 'em a rating; should be easy. Engineering 101. Square peg- round hole? Bigger hammer required. Cinch. You controllers are so difficult to deal with.
Back to the party! More tea?
