JCB= Earth movers............................................ ............
It's just a shame the results of that and their actions leading up to it showed the company in its real light........ To the detriment of some fine Engineers and Pilots... Swings and roundabouts, one day they will rue the day they lost a lot of the good guys when it really counts...

Censorship?
I find it a little odd that most of the JCB thread seems to have disappeared! Are there sinister moves afoot? Does someone at JCB have direct input to the moderators? Are things not as impartial as we all believe?
So many questions and so few answers...............
Hmmmmm!

We all have direct access to a moderator. 
Just pop a PM to them! Or hit the "report post" button.
Perhaps some of the comments directed at someone who was easily identifiable were held to be libellous? And we wouldn't want Danny to get into hot water, would we?

Spot on LD. As there have been a few personal remarks in threads lately I'll take this opportunity to explain/remind people of a few points.
Some people are under the impression that the internet affords absolute anonymity. It doesn't. If someone feels aggrieved enough to take legal steps there are ways in which they can force the owners and operators of internet forums to divulge ISP's and the like. If we (PPRuNe) can show that we operated reasonably and that the poster was wholly responsible for the libellous post (known as the 'It Wasn't Us, He Did It' defence) then they're on their own.
I would suggest that if anyone really wants to publicise the private life of another they have the option of setting up their own site and doing so. We don't need the grief that goes with it thanks.

No they won't; I don't think the "family" even understand the concept that there is even anything possibly wrong with the way they treat staff - regret will not enter their radar!!

An Engineer travelling up from Luton or anywhere similar isn't going to (and no disrespect to any of them ) the same amount of dedication, urgency and drive as one that the plane "belongs to", so to speak. To them it's just a pain in the Butt as they have had to spend a couple of frustrating hours on the packed motorway to get there and are looking fwd to no doubt worse on the way home.. As well as being totally unfamiliar with the surroundings, set up and tooling in Faulty Hangers, so the job takes even longer..

And the old one turfed back up a few days ago and has been dumped on the wash bay, rumour has it they can't shift it on at the moment, something about it having a damage history perhaps ?

BearhunterNutloose. Have you seen the quality of the repair? I think my 5 year old could have done a better job! The market has collapsed however.
Lot of dead cash to have sitting outside rotting away nicely........ It's in good company with the 767..

Is all this something to do with the sooty bird that married into the empire, the bird who runs a shop selling all white stuff.
I remember the days of the 125 when JCB were held up as one of the very best examples of UK Corporate Flt Depts. Old J.C. would never have allowed this crap!
A very bad example for todays UK Corp Avtn scene.
