Boring !!!!
Just seen a posting from Ballymoss saying he considers this forum boring !!! Lets try and add a bit of life here and see the history of who we have got perusing the boards.
Well, when it comes to Crewing and Ops, it tends to be the same swirl of people who move around the polished desks of Crewing and Ops offices. Let's have a little league on who has worked where and for which airlines. I wonder how many of ours (and your paths) have crossed. Doing this will obviously give away our vintage.
So I will start off. I have always been a crewing person, planning and or crew control...here is my list of companies and locations.
British Eagle International Airlines LHR (remember the BRITS)
BOAC LHR (the VC10 !!!)
British Airways Shorthaul (BEA) LHR (the dreaded Trident 3)
Saudia LHR ( L1011 Tristars)
Saudia JED (More Tristars)
Brymon PLH ( Dash 7 at LCY)
Brymon European (merger with
Birmingham European) PLH (BAC 1-11)
Brymon...again. De mereger from BEA PLH (Dash 8-300)
Emirates DXB (A380's !!!!! soon)
Looking forward to a reply ot two !!!

Well there you go.
Thanks for the replies so far...Look at all that experience!!! and versatility of people who have moved around between different companies and I suspect moving has not always been desired as airlines come and go. I know someone somewhere in that lot.
I still know of some of my contemporaries from the early 70's from BOAC who are still doing exactly the same crewing/ops job 30 years on at LHR with Big Brother (BA mainline). I must admit I am beginning to envy their index linked pensions, but have they enjoyed the bit in between as we have !!!!!!

Interesting!!!!
Fiction - That's more like it, a thread that has generated a good
number of views (not enough replies yet) and a five star rating.
Not wishing to openly identify oneself (unlike some of those above
who I've worked with in the past) I shall, like UC remain a man of
mystery suffice it to say, I did once wear a brown uniform (mistaken for an AA patrolman whilst making pit-stop on M6 -
or perhaps I was an AA patrolman, it's all a blur now)

Osh,
Yep, missus ok. She's still talking to me so I must be doing something right, but then again it has been less than 3 months.
Between you and JB007 it reads like a graveyard of British aviation. Remind me never to take a job where either of you two are still employed.
