I would imagine that the workers at Whitely, like the admin. and support staff at any large organisation do an excellent job keeping the wheels turning for the rest of us. I am also equally sure that they do not enjoy the "early go" perks which seem to be regarded as a right by the operational staff.
In fairness, I appreciate what you are saying, but, for obvious reasons, their salary scales make VR and "early gos" unattractive.
I wholeheartedly agree that their contribution, to the bigger picture, is very much appreciated.
