    I flew in and out of Baghdad airport last year and there was none of
    that sort of shit. We made a tactical take off from KCIA Kuwait - which
    basically meant climbing to cruising altitude within the confines of
    the perimeter fence; I think the pilot got his knee down on that one.
    And when we left Basra all the aircraft lights (interior and exterior)
    were switched off for the take off but that was about it.
    LOL

    Wasn't one of the rules only two people to a fight?

  7. Well you are playing the "keep it all confidential" part very well. Have
    the RMT members been winding all you ASLEF chaps up? - seeing how
    friendly and cooperative trade unions are :)

    I have my opinions of the RMT and I keep my counsel on some members of
    their policy, executive and leadership.

    TBH I find the last 6 months heartbreaking. Both on an industrial and
    movement fronts.

    This latest chapter in Aslef's history dates back to the 1995 pay dispute
    and the fall out from that. Our guns are being spiked by self interest,
    personal revenge and incompetence. To the joy of the Labour Party and
    ATOC. It's all rather pathetic.

    However the truth will out and it should be resolved within 4-5 months.
    Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer, bring it on you fuckers!

    Every time I've taken off from there (4 times) they had a camera attached to
    the nose. They played the take off live on the cinema.
    That would've been interesting.

    Hmm ... a major international event, attracting thousands of westerners, on
    the Arabian peninsula ... what could *possibly* go wrong?

  18. I'm sure you do. You'd be mad not to.
    Well I haven't met you so don't *know* how strongly you feel about such
    things but I'm not that surprised by your remark.
    Well the reaction of others is no great surprise. When organisations
    like unions turn in on themselves hell bent on self destruction there
    will always be a willing audience.
