Another polite reminder...

Hi Chaps :)

Can I remind you all once again that our aircraft DO have home bases!

I've just had a quick look and we have over 50 (closer to 60) aircraft off station as I type. Some of you will be with those aircraft which is all well and good but the majority are not. Some are off station left by pilots no longer with us.. that's another problem and one that will always be with us. Others have been off station so long, their pilots no longer have type ratings to fly them home!

There are other examples though. One particular pilot who will remain nameless managed to leave 3 different aircraft off station in just 2 days!!! What's that all about?? :dunno:

I don't want to start cracking the whip but left to your own devices.. things have got a little too lax.

I'll bring that 707 home and then I'll go for a VC-10 rating instead

Ok Nige :thumbsup:

Dale..
PaulC no longer has his rating for the Trident (he knows he left one at Brum) and Mike Nicholls got ousted on the FSA auto-boot. I couldn't get him back so he's joined another airline. Mike had a few Tridents knocking around so feel free to requisition any you see with his name on ;)

Cheers fellas :thumbsup:

Hi Simon :)

Yours are recent mate so don't bust a gut. I saw you had a 'plan' ;) There are no worries over taking an aircraft to a location to pick up a different type, do a run then bring it back. That's all part of the fun :)

Et-al..
I've noticed Mike Nicholls had a few 1-11's out and about as well as his Tridents so if anyone with ratings for either wishes to bring them home, please feel free to do so. Dale may be looking at the Tridents (some of them anyway) so it may be prudent to post your intentions here before stepping on someone elses toes ;)

I might have a pop at bringing the 1-11's home if that is ok. I noticed I have a viking off station in Gibraltar but am I correct in thinking that it is lives out there?
