What that man thorny said. To you I dedicate a giant double thumbs up mate!! Great example.

I have the utmost respect for our aviation Firies, don't get me wrong. But at the end of the day it is a cushy job, and again I have no problem with that. When it is quiet it is quiet - game of blackjack, some solitaire, a kip on a comfy cot and even a game of naked Twister. However when it is busy it is busy - practise sessions, real life emergencies, equipment maintenance, physical training and so on. So here is the proposal - find a balance, work out a solution, move forward and let's stop living in the dark ages FFS. This is 2015! Roster the Unicom task through the individual Firies - train them - support them - qualify them - engage with them!

Sir Anus, you and your organisation bleat on about 'best practise models' and other such chestnuts. Then grow a pair mate. Listen to the Yanks, look at what they do, how they do it, when they introduced it, what the challenges were. Stop hiding in the shadows scared to make a hard call, it's pathetic. Improve our safety and do it now. Man up, face off with the unions and kick some goals for once. Maybe, just maybe, you and Frau Staib could do something that justifies your outrageous salaries, bonuses and add-on's???
