"It sounds like your commercial people have been brainwashed by the oft stated nonsense that only commercial can commit MoD to contract. Point the above out to them and tell them to wind it in".
Thanks tuc, I am out now. took the VERS at Christmas. Can you pass this info on to my old IPTL who supported my application. they could not wait to get rid of this troublemaker who reminded lots of people about the rules and regs (I wrote some of them!). I made myself unpopular in some quarters and was not pink and fluffy enough to fit in with the new regime.
In many ways they did me a favour. I do sometimes feel I turned my back on our fine aviators who put their faith in us Engineers. Often protecting them from themselves.
Read your bit about Sam Cowan. I recall those days of cuts. or doing the same for 30% less. I also remember the HEART. Only the other day I found some papers from 2001 where I pointed out that some of the recomendations relating to one of the specialist units at BZN that had not been sorted. Still the case back end of last year. I just dread the day they have another preventable Private Matthew Game type incident because of similar systemic failures that CH-C identified.
