Re: RFA crew shortage as well as a Rear Admiral shortage....
As far as I know they are not training bootnecks to drive these things so back to square one - where will they find the RN crews? About the only thing that's likely to drive up recruiting now as a conflict - maybe in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf - which gets the lads and lasses out of Wetherspoons an...

It's a good place to go to if he ever has to leave the States after the drugs claims he's made - after all 'East, West, home's best' and they could live in Nigeria in great style.

Re: New Zealand
We used to watch TVNZ and/or Newshub at 6 pm. The blatant left wing bias shown by the political reporters beggars belief. Every news story about the Government has an angle carefully worked out to criticise them. I think that some of the things they have done have been pretty badly handled but they ...

Nobody could have seen this coming - there's no wind and an icy southerly drift - leading to very cold temperatures overnight - and then the windmills don't turn! Well who'd have guessed? Hopefully this project can be up and working before there are many more embarrassments, but they're not even st...

Re: Bristow crews vote for strike action - shades of 1977?
Good old 'Depressing Journal' - that's not a Bristow aircraft in the photo is it? Well before I flew with Bristow one man was in control - the stories about him are legendary - but there was a fierce loyalty amongst his employees. When I joined there was a faceless board of directors as AB had sold ...

Re: New Zealand
I wonder if there were ever any problems with FENZ pay issues before Datacom were asked to 'improve' the system. Why did PSe give notice? If Datacom failed to provide what it was asked to do, can the Government (aka taxpayers) recoup any of its outlay? Did Datacom ever get to a contract stage? (-| D...
