You're almost right, but I did have to make the occasional
tea which was a bit of a chore.

Where's your list by the way?

Only your own tea, and then only because nobody else would make you one...:D :D :D

Well after noticing two ex-collegues on this forum, I thought I would join in, even if I do not have half as much experiance, its great to see you both on here.

Whispering Giant
 

Life is good thanks DR! Do you ever hear from ND?

Have they let you lose yet in the RHS ?

Do the skies of the SW know what they are letting themselves in for ??

I'm safe here in OMDB or am I :D

Cheers 3 Off The Tee :rolleyes:

3off the tee
 

Havent heard from ND since beginning of the year - allthough i believe that RJ has - last i heard from him he was considering whether or not to move to Germany when Brittania op's re-locate there......

Nah your never going to be safe mate - just you watch out,once i've finished my Sponsorship might be chasing a job on A330's with your lot and have a nice easy life like you !!!!! it will make a change from the likes of JER and GUR being fogged out and the French beeing on strike...

Keep in touch mate - it's great to hear from you....

Fiction....

yep i know that Whispering giant is the nickname of the Brittania - as i've spent quite a lot of my spare time -which is'nt much !!! helping keep the last one that's potentially airworthy going...

wish we were lucky enough not to get WX prob's and ATC delay's...

oh well life would be boring then though !!!!! :rolleyes:

Forgot to ask mate - how is your handicap now ????
have you leant to hit the ball yet ???? or do you keep getting them in bunker as your in the land of sand !!!

:D :D :D :D :cool: :cool: :eek: :eek:

brgds
DR.

Hi Fiction,

There's a blast from the past.
Unfortunately I didnt have the brain's to move around like you, but here goes -

12 Years with Ops and crewing,

Birmingham European
Brymon European
Maersk

Not too impressive when I look at who's kicking around and the fun they've been having.

Still - for what its worth, Brymon was the best experience. A good change of scenery and a good bunch of people on the whole. (In the scheme of things a complete waste of time but thats life!)

Yes Fred,

The Brymon European thing was a complete waste of time and very emotional for all staff concerned.

What was a complete disaster from the Brymon point of view was the abandonment of LCY after all those years of pain getting the operation up and running. Initially competing with London City Airways (BM), they dropped out and Brymon carried on until the merger. Now look how successful LCY is !!!

The Brymon folks went thru it ALL again with BACE and some have now ended up on Fraggle Rock.

But that is the business we are in and presumably that is why we do it. Again I know some folks in BA who have been grinding away at the same crewing jobs for nigh on 30 years...Who has had the more fun ???? :cool: :cool: :cool:

ok,why not add something

Gill Air/Gill Airways
TNT
Flying Colours
JMC

and now

Orange and mobile phones

Help me I need Ops/Crewing again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sussed a few old mates out there...

peterc - Eh up me duck! Thought you'd already drunk all the beer in Burton!

fred f - would I be correct in thinking that despite 3 airlines on your list you never moved far from BHX ((Hanger 1) via Sheldon and back on airport soil again?

JBF

It's all becoming clear now!!

Hunting Cargo
Air Atlantique - yes, someone had to!!
DHK

Someone did alright Miss Cargo.
