Maybe this web site should be LAMEROONE, there are quite a few of us to add gravitas and learned insights into the pilot chit chat.

Don't worry guys, you've got someone on your side. I did more years lame-ering than I did piloting, by a magnitude.

This is what they looked like 45 and 40 years ago. In between there was one with a red cover :

Yes I've got one of those, issued in the days when the licence said "Engineer" and the type ratings were stamped in ink and signed by P Buchannan with a fountain pen.
My Part 66 makes no mention of the word Engineer and has all the charisma of a Tesco receipt.

I thought that the engineers only wrote two things:

NFF
or
UTRF

Form 700, Tech Log, IDGAS . . .

I'm grateful though, when I went aircrew (or flight crew) I stayed warm(er) and dry and got fed.

Must confess, I've never seen GTFS before, so you'll have to educate me. I was still at school in 1965 !

By the way I LOVE your signature - I can do that as well . . . .

This has to be the lamest thread I've ever seen.
The older I get, the grumpier I get.
I may soon have to start biting people. X(

"Noted with thanks" has got me out of a tight spot occasionally, "re-racked - satis" is another when under pressure.

NFFPRFIN - got as far as 'IN' and got stuck!! 'If needed/necessary''?

Re DA - 'Remembered' is still there: I'll email Bryn and see if he knows about t'other.

Edit: Only have Bryn's 'danair.org' address and that domain has gone. Maybe JJ knows more? I can only find the twitter pages.

DASA seems to have become Farcebook. I too only have .org, neither are places I frequent with any regularity.

Senior management and I have just spent an age on DA Remembered looking at the who are they pictures. You would not believe how many of them are called "Whatsername".
SM is not good with names even though she trained many.
