Professionalism

Crab - "Why would you let the building contractors make a mess and then clear it up yourself??? Who would allow a contractor who wasn't 'air-aware' to work in an aviation environment?? It all sounds very professional"

Errrr – It's about as professional as MOD/RAF at Kinloss circa early 2005 when the roof of the newly constructed Ops Building (details fuzzy – perhaps the MPA community can help) blew off and ended up at (mostly on or near) the runway and all hands (RAF equivalent) were called out to conduct a close quarters in-line abreast search of the runway to pick up the bits. During the same period of stormy weather the roof of the recently constructed nearby Tesco building in Forres also took orf threatening folks on the A96.
Interesting thing was that the shack opposite the ARCC housing the Supply Sqn Bar and the similarly constructed nearby MRT hut, both apparently built during the war (WWII) or not that long after, survived the tempest with no apparent damage.
Is the moral of the tale that building standards have regressed or that those who live(d) in glass houses shouldn't throw stones ?
