To be quite honest, very shitty. Got all the antennas (9) installed on #1 today, just in time for the pencil necked geeks to promise the aircraft will depart 1 May, followed on 8 May by #2 and 15 May for #3. All this does is ensure that we will have to finish these mfer's in Turkey which by the way if no one has checked recently the State Department has pulled out non-essential personnel and the military sent home all dependents.

I like Turkey, and have traveled there many, many times but the PKK is running wild, Syrians are flooding the borders and it is a free for all there. It will take substantially longer to get these airplanes done out of the country as you buy a whole new host of problems, 220V 50 cycle power, minimum one week shipping on parts, lack of real equipments....the list goes on and on. I am not happy about this today.

 

Uh oh! the big guns are being drawn!!

 

You went nuclear eh? I'm afraid I will have to fold, no liquor in the apartment.

 

Evening Dave!

 

Strategic move there Mick. You've obviously raised the bar in this high-stakes game.......

 

Russ, that sounds familiar.

 

Just irritates the **** (I saw we could post that word in the nicer thread) out of me. Why add literally months to production time? We have some guys in Nigeria and one of the guys contracted malaria. Why didn't the company send them to the doctor to get pills for that stuff? They don't think about this stuff when they plan these things?

 

Mick wins (for tonight) no liquor inna dungeon either!

 

Is it mandatory that you go?
