BRL,

Preflight walkaround at John Lennon International must be full of surprises if your post is anything to go by!

Wings? 2, good.
Tailplane? Check!
Elevators? Yep,
Wheels? Bu99er!
Engines? You don't want to know...

Nah, pre-flight goes something like this..........

"Alright our Davey"

"Alright our Jono, 'ows it going like"

"Alright mate, now, is anyone looking? you go over there and if anyone comes whistle.........."

And so on......

You might think I couldn't give a rat's arse, but I care really. No, really.

I do get ratarsed from time to time though...

Still waiting for my personal title after a month. £20? Pah! They nicked my money, went out and bought a new server, and what do I get in return? Nothing. Apart from a much faster PPRuNe of course.

Hang on, are we in Jetblast?

(sorry about the delay. Somehow got stuck somewhere but it is sorted now. My apologies and thanks. Brl)

Ratsarrse, you're not my ex-PPL instructor in disguise, are you?

He used to have a regular student who went by the name of Mr Ratarst. This student would only ever book the 8am slot on Saturday or Sunday mornings, and would always cancel it last thing the night before. Everyone in the club knew about Mr Ratarst, except for the CFI - although I have to admit I find it hard to believe that he didn't have any idea what was going on

(True story, btw!)

and I am a bird that can't fly. Something to do with my earnings-hiring rates ratio I understand.
