Sorry Pharc,
No paraphrasing. Made it up myself. Who's Larry Pickering?

The Airservices training was pretty much 'Cocaine is awesome and it is pretty friggn hard to get caught using it, get on it'. Shame I already am addicted to Smack.

Aside from the March issue, in 2010 Fridays and Saturday's are in bold, not Sat/Sun on the far right hand side columns.

In my entire life I've never seen a calender incorrectly printed.
Have seen a Vet Affairs calender with June 31 but the vets didn't get an extra days pension.

Good, I am glad they got rid of March no more march flies, I no longer have to buy three birthday presents, and the stores will be able to take down the xmas decorations and put the easter bunny up straight away, and why do they keep sending me stuff, I am retired, and if I want to get pis$ed and try party drugs at the next rage party I will.

Maybe they were going though withdrawals by the time they got to that end of the matrix?

This is a a perfect example of the piss poor performance we get from those who are paid top money to control our standards.

By the same standards that CASA would have me stood down and re-trained, and re-trained again if I failed, and sacked if I failed again. I would expect that the incompetent manager that approved this waste of our money, is stood down pending an investigation.

No wonder our economy is going down the chute, we waste so much of our hard earned on this crap.

Do you think if we asked CASA nicely they would send out some nice furry stuffed toys? You know, a little kangaroo or a wombat with a pilots helmet for the dash?

You could collect the entire set, but I guess you could only display all of them in cruise.

Dear Mr CASA,
Thank you for your lovely colored calendars so beautifully printed on high quality plastic.

However, I already have a number of other calendars, so in future could you not waste your hard earned money on such excesses and put that cash towards my licence and medical renewal fees, thus saving me some cash too.

Thank you.

mikk_13, you won't get one unless you have paid for the calendar subscription amendments, at $420 for 11 months, $780 will get you the 12 month "March Package."

If you do buy the 'March Package', it can only be claimed as a 'work expenses' tax deduction if you actually fly during the month of March.

Have I created a monster?

I have just got back to my office for the first time in 2 weeks to find a pile of about 200 brochures on random drug testing, and 2 cylinders packed to capacity with same in wall poster form. Ever so slightly excessive for a 1 plane/1 pilot operation.

Money well spent AGAIN

Maybe we could apply for a dispensation to cancel march for ever. Mmmm... 31 spare days a year, just what we all need.

Message in a Stubby Cooler

I was handed the printed material on the Drugs and Alcohol testing by a CASA staff member at Avalon in a stubby cooler – the printed material is in the bin the stubby cooler is still in service

Devil Работать по-революционному!

I've got it!
The lack of March is a clever move by CASA on K.Rudd's behalf. By removing one month of the year, we all get one month's less pay but have to work far harder and longer to do our 1000 hours a year. In one single genuis move, Ruddy has saved our employers collective millions in wages, annual leave and super and you all get one less sick day a year. Yet by still allowing us to work up to 1000 hours per calendar year and having one month less to do it in, he (and CASA) has increased productivity while costing companies less, thus creating a far more efficient economic and sustainable model.
That, PPRuNers, is why March is missing!

March is missing because the final draft was in the dunny to allow everyone to review it during a period of quiet time.

Then the paper ran out.

It's a pity the final product wasn't printed on a roll of soft two-ply. At least it would have been good for something.
