HKL,
your problem is being looked into. At first it was too vaguely described t intervene. Everything seems normal, so that's why 6£ suggested you might have used a computer with someone else's handle already logged in.
We'll let you know as soon as the "gizmologists" give their response.
Regards,
Flyblue

Yeah in the Herc world, the understanding was: never drink anything that wasn't scalding hot. That way you new what HADN'T been used by the load-monster to stir it.
In AN there was a very old FA down in ML who was known far and wide for her extreme nature, to put it very gently. Very unpopular with pilot and fa, alike. Nasty piece of work. You get the picture. Anyway, one day she'd been working her charms a little too much and the boss, who was usually very mellow --(actually most of the guys, post-89 as they were, seemed to allow themselves to be walked over by the C/crew a lot) --well he decides enough is enuff.
As we're taxiing around a bend and we have just instructed them to "disarm...etc" and he knows she's bending her fat, nasty @rse down to the girt bar, he let's the tiller self-correct (TWANG!!) and the ship lurches into the straight followed by the THUMP as her butt lands in the galley entrance.
HOWLS of laughter!! It was almost worth the unpleasant day we had to put up with. Almost... but not quite.
You see, I go to work to have a good time, not to play "one-up each other" with the c/crew. Can't we all just get along???
I'm sure someone out there will take this the wrong way and get all worked up with a blah blah blah...

God, what a bunch of humourless whingers.
Those of you who got into aviation after another career elsewhere must have been mollycoddled beyond belief to think that being asked to make tea is some form of inhuman behaviour. I thought some of you had done genuinely cr@p jobs beforehand.
Personally I thought the original post was extremely funny and it would have had me in stitches had I been there. I'm sure there are some real @rseholes out there (on both sides of the door), but most are a lot more tolerable than the kind of outrageous bullies and genuinely nasty characters I've worked for in the past. Whatever, or whoever, I have to deal with now I count my lucky stars that I'm doing it in aviation. Perhaps some of you need a little reality check.

ATCO-MATIC,Take a chill pill this is 2003 ; we call this banter (OK Pandora).
Personally I stopped drinking anything hot two years ago but it was not what the CC might have done to it but what an engineer showed me.
They had cut a damaged urn in two and you would not believe the amount of gunk / slime etc inside.It made the overflow tank in my attic look sterile!!!

That was pretty stupid, and IRRESPONSIBLE on the part of both of you, wasn't it!
Not only could you have caused her serious back injury, but the same result probably occurred with the other F/A's who were disarming the doors, esp. the ones in the rear
TWIT! The aviation industry doesn't need clowns like you up the front. Not only that, but you are apparently quite comfortable boasting about your dangerous prank well after the event (Ansett died almost 2 years ago).

Kaptin M,
Having been effectively told to wind my neck in because all of the stupid and dangerous things mentioned and advocated here by CC are just 'jokes' and 'banter', should we not give blat the benefit of the doubt and assume he/she was just trying to join in with a big joke? Or maybe it is only funny when it is a story about CC doing something stupid and irresponsible.

Thanks Pandoras, well-said. I think everyone's heard of 'urban legends'? Okay so it didn't happen to me, maybe it didn't happen at all. But on the face of it it is funny to picture the old bag getting it back, isn't it?? Even the FAs didn't like her. And you're right, it simply served to offer the other side of the coin.
As for the rest of the joke, that arse was so well-padded inmjuries were less of a worry than her skirt up over her head...
KM... seasoned prooner, takes the bait. Nice!! Relax dude, six-monthly medicals and ECGs, remember?

A bit of a check with some ex-AN F/A's should soon confirm your story's veracity or otherwise, blat.
Why you - as supposedly responsible pilot - would feel it "funny" to drive another wedge between Cabin Crews and pilots by recanting stories of how you punished Cabin Crew whom you were unable to incorporate as part of a TEAM, is beyond me!
In YOUR opinion, she might have had a "fat arse" - in her's YOU probably have a FAT HEAD.

If you feel the need to check veracity then be my guest. Personally I couldn't give a rat's.
As for the rest of your defensive, you seem too fixated on trying to recover to see reason so I'm over it. You're too tense, man. Focus on that pension.
