Angry RAFAT, Worst part of the Deployment!

Hi to all, well, here I am yet abloodygain stuck in a craphole and waiting on broken Air Transport to take me home. It's a curse, I can take the multiple deployments but the journey to and from theatre is now really starting to p*ss me off!!!!

For instance, to get out this time, I waited in BZN for 3 days before I finally took off and now, on the very first leg of my trip I am waiting in yet another crap location trying to get back. It's almost become a joke, only almost because it's not f*cking funny anymore.

I don't think I speak alone in saying that our fleet is f*cked. It's not a case anymore of if it breaks but when. From what I have witnessed over the last year its now got to a point where the a/c will break at some point and it's just a case of at what point in your journey the inevitable occur.

Rant over.

1 peeved passenger, again!

Any chance of a change of thread title? For a moment I thought you were bleating about being deployed with the Red Arrows (officially known as RAFAT)

Chinny's got a point.

OK, 'Power's that Be', who are supposed to trawl these Websites to get 'a feeling' as to the 'temperature of feeling' (recognise THAT phrase, do you?).

What are you going to do about it?
