HAH!
Yep...I was one of the baldies...the short one.
Having a red after a whole day at a training meeting.

We were discussing which of our esteemed ex-RAAF F-18 drivers did what to whom in the EK/QF formation gig over SYD.
There are some wicked shots out there that will never be seen in a commercial environment.

Wish I'd recognised you.

I was a millisecond away from asking if one of the baldies was you, but wasn't sure on the way a lowly Dash driver was supposed to approach such a group!

I'd have bought you a beer!
Apparently your side of the company is the only thing stopping the entire outfit from folding.

It's hard for me to get used to these changing times... I remember when the air was clean and the sex was dirty..

Of course that's if you drink the Co. Kool-aid.

Whilst I worked at the little QF, we were told we were consistently profitable injecting quite a big chunk into the big QF's coffers. It's a pity that the big QF treated the little QF like crap. Anyways. Love the model Eric. Awesome as usual :)

No doubt, Paul.
However, the cross-pollination of finances has left the true state of affairs very unclear. Who makes what appears massaged/masked/hidden/transferred to suit the politics/industrial picture for that day/week/month/FY. :roll:
