Floppy Morale
So why is the morale of the busiest Gazelle squadron in the AAC on the downward spiral ?? Why is it people are commenting on the fact that so much has changed in recent months and not for the better.... Can't see why the floppy jocks who aren't getting any flying aren't snapping up the chances to go to the emerald toilet... or maybe I can.

Lets get it right ol_ben. We don't run it, we are merely there in an advisory role (Plt Sgt if you will). If that advice is not taken or allowed to be taken, et voila lunatics running the asylum!
PS. how’s the house and how are you managing without me?.....a lot better no doubt!!!
PPS. If you need a Lx 4 pilot, give me a shout, sausage side is interesting to say the least!!!!!
Give me a bell.

Well Mr Pilgrim thanks for the constructive comment! I believe that the word pilgrim means one who's on a journey/traveller. Well my son with consolidation and improvement maybe, and I say maybe, one day you may well make the grade and come across to the darkside. After all I was a Gazelle aircraft commander in 8.2 hours - how difficult can it be?

What trouble with the floppies, moral on a downward trend. I find this hard to believe. We know how much flying there is on the mainland (not), so why have problems out there. Is it those who have to be obeyed?

Murph...tut tut....wash your mouth out with soap and water. Poxy..thats open to discussion, but certainly not a training aircraft. You have to be winged up large these days before you can get your hands on the mighty astazou!!

Pilgrim?......hhmmmmmm. Wouldn't be one of those adventurous chappies from down Hereford way who sport the old winged tin opener on their beanies now, would you?

bad admin,
Sorry didn't realise there was so many "Look at me, cramming a year long course in to eighteen months, Oh and then a conversion to type" knocking around.
Were Poxy, always will be!!
And it will remain, forever, a Training Aircraft only in the minds of SOOOOO many!!!

Murph...You do seem to have something large and wooden on your shoulder don't you!! In my day the course was only ten months long....I was just wondering if you ever mastered flying the mighty araldite pursuit ship!?

I do!!! Luckily the one on the other shoulder keeps me in Balance......................Mmmmmm Balance!!!
Not much to master really, One engine, One Hydraulic system, three rotor blades and not even a tail rotor.

Of course, our Morale may be low we may fly a one engined Airframe but at least we fly it, and to a sufficient standard so we all grade average or above (on Standards) unlike our lard loving brethren.
Cheap shot I know but hey, what do I care. Didn't realise it would turn into the all too often Lynx Vs Gazelle Banter. All too often as its the same people saying the same things. My Choppers bigger, better, faster, etc....
Murph. I take it with the leg Inj you won't be volunteering to be in my syndicate again for Fifth Elephant or perhaps I was in yours.. (that and the fact its a long way to come for a cake and arse party! )

Dwayne, 25 hrs this month thank you very much..oh and while we're at it.. above average to boot!
I'd rather slam my knob in a door than fly 0.1 hour in plastique! I'm sure murph would agree (just how many floppy hours have you got?)
It just HAS to turn into the Lynx v Floppy banter. As where I am, we don't have floppies and I feel withdrawal symptoms coming on through not having my daily superiority trip with quiche land.
Sad fact is now that they are letting previous khaftan wearer's into the brotherhood, it's lowering standards big style! There used to be certain credibility to being a Lynx pilot, but now it's open to all sorts of riff raff. Very understairs if you ask me.
Gone are the days when you could talk about pies, beer and girlies till your heart's content. It's all fluffy kittens and knitting now!
Half of these 'new age' PC, lilly livered, pillow biting ex-araldite jocks couldn't even spell AFCS let alone eat their own body weight in Ginsters!
The topic of conversation usually consists of the latest article in 'Cosmopolitan' as opposed to having a bit of a wheeze at the expense of the unfortunate untermench plastic polers! There is definitely a void left in my life without the Gazelle fraternity in numbers to banter with. The 'new' convertee's are just not a good game of cricket.
DAAVN, please address this issue at your earliest convenience. May I suggest ordering all those who have more hours on Gz in their logbook than Lx to wear a large badge saying 'I'M A LYNX PILOT BY DEFAULT, NOT BY CHARISMA'. At least then we'll know what we're dealing with. Oh, they should also be locked in a small, dark room and poked every 3 hours.
Murph, hope you’re happy now!
