Question

Continetal DC10's, parts falling loose,
that sounds very familiar ?

I sincerely hope theres no connection
with the recent CDG tragedy, possibly caused by DC10 FOD on the runway ?

F1 ? just see how that goes wrong some times
in the real F1 world,
rushed pit stops, wheels falling off, sometimes,no wheels to fit !! seems that FLS took F1 too literally ?
how about trying good old commonsense, ask the guys doing the job what they need,
then give it to them & pay them properly
for doing it, hey presto, instant improvement !!
every ones happy.

I have been watching this thread since it started and find it extrordinary that it has gone on to three pages! It is known that Billy Boeing and Jimmy GE are looking to expand into the airline maintenance market, but if Boeing buy out FLS, what will happen to all the Airbus and Lockheed aircraft that FLS look after? Could you imagine all those customers trying to get Boeing to service non-Boeing aircraft?

By the way, who has got the Virgin Sun contract?

Is it true someone across the irish sea has taken the stance of requesting more renumeration before tackling the Formula 1 a/c. Has this sent Mr Hodgeson packing from STN ??

Snippits comming out of Stn is he is on his way, FLS Stn would look a bit odd on his C.V. no doubt.

FF cat is still there boys......

Well, well,, first that rumor about Gatwick seems to be true, as the mass of the work force there are 'contractors'! It's about 80% contractors to 'Permi's' What sort of operation is that? Not much commitment there, is there.
3Weeks ago there was a "FULL" stock taking exercise at Stansted and recently at Manchester,,,,,, more food for though!
The writing is on the walls people, I am seeing it............................

Also the 2 F1 projects presently at Stansted are more like F1000's. One has left 2 weeks late and the other is heading in the same direction!!!!

Anyone with a job? "I am a good worker!"

Latest "rumour" me heard was that the Official turn round was december 2000, There must be a vast improvement and 1st 1/4 figures must be in black. Board will make a decision then what will be happening!

One figure banded around has been 170 mill for diamond hangar! any one care to speculate further.

If something is not working and dragging down the rest of the system that is trying to perform do you not remove it from the system so that the rest may acheive?

Poor management is the problem here, the constant bad performance of several people is consistant from year to year! remove and replace not reposition is the answer....

The same thing happens every time something isnt right so they move and replace very few new blood same people, different title, same job, same result. This is why we are in this situation.
