What a miserable posting from the State with no electricity....managed to get your wife to crank the generator for a bit to power your computer...
For what it's worth, chaps, most of the pilots I fly with at my US airline (the biggest) have the utmost respect for the British military, and are always courteous and never downright rude (unlike some on this forum). It's a little embarassing to answer questions like "..why do the military folks on pprune hate us so much? We like the Brits...". Oh well...sometimes "banter" and beer make a mess, and foot-in-mouth disease is the result; there's an outbreak in California, I see...
Never slag-off your roots ( I believe advice from Michael Caine...) - I'm proud of having worn RAF wings...

Did my full time, now over the hill and in 'Civilian land', grass is not that green, 18 days away a month at the moment, alright I don't live in the desert, down south or in the Balkans but time away is time away.
I do admit it's nice to go home and do what I want to do, no paperwork, glorious.
Fly safe.

Hey folks - just to keep with the topic - I ran this thread a month or so ago which was fairly well replied to (52 hits), and ties in somewhat with what you are discussing.
Have a look - some eye openers.
Best wishes

It's not fair to the majority of you (and new contributors as well) to have to muddle through 2+ pages of bait and/or reaction.
Because of this, I'm going to close the thread, but please feel free to start another one regarding the original subject.
