Diversion charges

Hmmm. Not really my temprament. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Besides - I had already considered the far classier option of mounting a covert operation one night to crawl underneath the vehicle with a 5 gallon pan and remove his sump plus. After draining all the warm oil out of the engine I would quietly remove the pan, replace the plug and cover all evidence of the action. Upon cold starting in the morning about 2000 pounds worth of engine damage would occur in the first 2 seconds.

Its a trick a mechanic told me about once. Wouldn't you sound stupid at the garage "Whaddya mean there's no oil in it?!?!".

WWW - I'm sure that you're just joking about considering causing criminal damage, aren't you? Much more satisfying to have his business go down the pan after being boycotted following your revelations in these hallowed pages. Have you thought about writing an expose for 'CHIRP' or 'GASIL'? Then any other instances of such employee harrassment might get flushed out into the open. Name 'em and shame 'em, I reckon!! But that's all too easy for me to say as I don't have to put up with the stress that your management (HUH!!) is causing you. A little word dropped into the right ears about the maintenance standards of the aircraft might work as well - does anyone know whether the Belgrano inmates have a right to carry out snap inspections or spot checks?

Criminal things aren't my scene at all.

Actually the fundamental engineering is to a high standard and I have no real complaints about it. If anything were actually overtly dangerous then I wouldn't be flying - rest assured.

Hi WWW sorry to hear of your plight, but when I was learning to fly I had to divert to Sleap because of WX.
The owner of the aircraft (known to both of us) not only praised the action but came by road to collect the instructor and myself, all without a moan.
In fact he praised the enlightend and prompt action, thats why we are still very good friends and I use his aircraft.
So all the best I am sure there must be a Welsh way of dealing with this tight fisted penny pinching prat, I do know him so I can relate to your situation.

All the best

Shifts uneasily in his seat as the Boss's bestest old mate joins the fray!!!!

Sad that your boss has shown his true colours. I haven't worked there, but the stories I have heard over the last 4 years doesn't inspire me to believe he will ever change. Harlech TV had it right methinks.

I am sure my friend would be on your side totally, after some of the tales he told me.......

If all else fails I went to the Accrington school of subversion, and do know one or two interesting people!!

Can't wait for the next installmant from the Faulty towers of aviation..

Those of us who've worked with him know what he's like WWW - don't take any stick from him.
I though Halfpenny were free for WX diversions?
