More money than sense

Great news! Was just told by a colleague that we are finally being sent on an aircraft type specific training course. MMMmmmm big bucks here I come! But as is usual from this place. They failed to personally inform me and several others of this. We only learnt of it cos of the above mentioned guy. And they never mentioned to him or us or anyone, where the course is being held, who is teaching it, what time it starts, how long it is for, how many days a week it is, etc. Nothing... except it is on Monday.

1 rather weird thing they are doing thou is sending around 20 or so of the Asian mechanics on the course with us. Wouldn't have minded but none of these guys have a basic European license. Which means the type course they do will be useless unless they actually spend a bunch of money and years of their life to obtain an European license. And don't forget those guys they are putting on it are people like Mr Bweezie from yesterday... The guy can hardly speak any English for gods sake how is he going to do the course!?! Same goes for a good deal of them. Also find it funny when we asked about if the course is going ahead last month the boss said he wasn't sure about putting us thru a course cos it was very expensive. That was for just 5 people at the time too. Now its like 30 people!!! Then the other problem. 90% of the European mechanics have left. The remaining 10% are going on the course and roughly 50% of the Asian mechanics are going on the course too... Who the hell is gonna fix any of the planes in the next month or 2???

Sigh... bottom line who cares... I'm getting my course out of them FOC. They can do what ever the hell they want, I've gotten what i wanted out of the deal. So what else matters?
