You would be.....wrong on both counts!
Oh go on, give us a clue then.....Do you shout at the sooties then for not putting the engines on the right way round?
:rotfl:
No, I've been out of the aviation game for a very long time now. Besides, helicopters don't fly anyway. They just shake and rattle until the ground rejects them.I would love aberdeen, far too close to elgin though for my liking.
Hey now, nothing wrong with Elgin..... Or maybe it just seems that way if you've spent too much time in Lossiemouth! (Or Kinloss, even worse)And I dont have the deep-fried mars bar eating or whisky habit to live there. Nice for the skiing though. Been to you neck of the woods fairly regularly, even been up to wick!
You haven't lived til you've tried deep fried mars bars with whisky sauce...

Some awesome clam chowder down the findhorn Bay pub, if you have ever been around there. About the only reason I go up there these days. Apart from my acient right to premenocta that is!

I tried a deep friend mars bar once (no whiskey sauce, hadn't heard of that). I much, much, much prefer the goodness that is athol brose. (is that spelled correctly? )
Hmm, I might do that for DH tomorrow. ;00 -

Which pub? I prefer the Crown and Anchor, who do a mean lobster.
Haven't found good clam chowder anywhere in Scotland yet, but I may be spoiled from eating so much of it in the States.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I'm surprised at how many people think they don't contribute to a company's profits because they aren't in a sales role. Different for those in public sector roles.
People would not be employed if they didn't contribute towards a profit. If you stop a plane from falling out of the sky you help to maintain a reputation of a company with a good safety record,you increase profits through making people feel safe to spend their money on plane tickets. If you train people then you are training them to do their job more effficiently, increasing profits.
Minimising loss, in a profit making company is contributing towards profit as much as directly selling something is.
Even if you clean toilets, you're cleaning the toilet because it's cheaper to pay you to do it than someone who costs more and could be out there selling. And it keeps them working there because the toilets are clean.
Was there a point to this post? People are more valuable than they seem to think they are, I guess.
I have a part time proper job (for fun really, except it's not fun at all, go figure) as well as us having our own company. There are days where I could save my company more money than I earn at my proper job. I'm actually incredibly stupid. I probably cost my own company as much as I get paid in regular salary.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I work for my own company so, in words I couldn't improve:As we own our own business, we take all the profits when we are flying high.....and all the losses if we f***k up.
I also do voluntary work for a community/ charity group and save them real money as well as non financial benefits. (At least I hope so
