It would appear some pepole can't take a joke or a bit of banter anymore!!

Roll on 2012? Why? Is that when we dis-establish the Movers trade?

:ok:

Have to say that having looked at the movers thread a few hours ago they display a far more sensible and measured response than quite a few posts on this thread. Maybe not too many egos to bruise?

Care to enlighten the guy Wilts ?:D

Cerainly E5,

It's they year I leave the RAF after 38.5 years of loyal service, which is slowly but surely becoming more difficult to endure:(

You old git!!:ok:

Sorry...couldn't resist it!!:p

MOG:cool:
(Younger and not so grey!!)

Look at the Heirachy
 

I'm so glad to be on the outside working with proffesionals and an outfit that works together to achieve a common goal, instead of a team of individuals who are too busy bickering and pursuing their own selfish interests without a damn for anyone else but themselves. Good luck to the lot of you. And, I have no doubt that the blame for this incident will fall fully on 1 individual to cover up the years of neglect by the leaders who never listened to the voices of experience on that squadron. :ugh:

Lions and Donkeys
 

Can't agree more with rsb. Not so much lions led by donkeys as monkeys led by chimps. No meaningful selection, no meaningful training (outside fast jet CFS), no meaningful leadership, ever... It's coming to a sqn near you guys. Movers are generally clueless, aircrew kid themselves they are any better, cover your ass people, nobody else will do it for you!

At the risk of keeping this thread alive long after it should be buried without honours...
Whether we like it or not there is a definite perception that aircrew related incidents are treated by those on high with more sympathy than groundcrew related ones, a belief that leads to a sense of injustice. With the slow take-up of HFOR this is hopefully being redressed, fingers crossed.
I well recall an incident at our secret Wiltshire base when one of our cabs got itself damaged in a flying incident. A board of enquiry was convened and, at some point, began examining the engineering paperwork raised to recover the airframe. An anomoly was found which caused such excitement amongst the BOI team that their pursual of this avenue of investigation threatened to overshadow (not my words, the words of our bosses) the fact that their initial remit had been to investigate the flying incident that had led to the paperwork being raised in the first place :ugh:

Forgive me while I yawn. Thought this thread was about the TriStar not the Movers.

Topic drift, it happens. Human nature and all that. Doesn't make any of the points raised less valid even if they are not immediately related to the OP. Better to cover it one thread than start multiple threads each time a change of direction occurs IMHO.

As slow as most movers errrrrr....move.....it is they that should have barnacles on them and not the aircraft.

This post is Brill!! Just as CH predicted the attention has turned away from the guys who bent the frame on to the guys with broad shoulders...

Roll on 2012....

Fair chance..............along with aircrew bashing. :)

Mover baiting...............hardly a competitive sport as it's way tooooo easy:rolleyes:

Hey Blakey, just moved up to PA band 15 so add another grand to the figure that sent you apopleptic not so long ago:p

ABIW - Make the most of it while you can because in Civvy street your wages are linked to ability...
Roll on 2012

Blakey,

Did I not mention in a previous post that the PA spine and new pension scheme means I get to retire at 55 and never have to worry about a earning a crust again...........in fact all I have to worry about is what size boat to buy for our life cruising round the med:p

Blakey/Wilts,
I searched out the Movers v Loadies thread a few nights ago cos I was bored and wanted a laugh. Would you believe it....some git has actually closed it. Bloody cheek.

Might have to start up a new thread and get some proper banter going again. What to call it though I wonder ? :hmm:

I quite like Loadies v Movers sorts out the priorities nicely...............

Nah lets go with The Military, including RAFP v Movers as thats how, and rightly so, it always ends up:p

Wilts,
As I recall the last Scuffer that posted here was hounded off, am I correct ?

And still nothing on what happened just inane dribble on the merits or not of other trades. Being the FE on the last tail strike with Air Luxor I would be interested to hear what happened to this one. It would also be nice to read posts that do answer the title.
