My gift to Frank
Franks Burden, there are a number of trough dwellers working at Malfunction Junction who have gerbil like smiles and the personality of a sea serpent, so it is hard to decipher just who you are referring to?
However, just to jog your memory and without implicating these gentlemen in any way, shape or form, some of the more long term executives at Fort Fumble are;
- Mr Boyd took his seat at the Fort Fumble round table in 1999,
- Mr Farquharson commenced his tenure at the gravy train of choice, CAsA, in 1999,
- Mr Aleck was awarded employment at the not so robust regulator in 1993, and toddled off to ICAO from 1998 - 2003 for a stint at the 'Holy Grail of aviation troughs'.
In all they have had approximately 43 years worth of combined service at Sleepy Hollow. Each has been involved in some capacity with the regulatory reform program as well.
Footnote: Although Mr Aleck spent 5 years at ICAO it could be debated that he had no affiliation, contact, influence or dealings with CAsA during that time period. If you were to add those 5 years to the sum total you would get 48 years of combined CAsA service.
One could hypothesise as to how much time has been spent indulging in trough like piggery during those 48 years, but that is not the role of a mere aviation peasant, aka IOS such as myself to scrutinise, calculate or quantify.
