Mr Hunt welcome [well sort of] to the nutters. The Boss says you are into
VFR ; hope it's not his kind of VFR -Very Funny Reasons as you are bound to
see about our uniforms, well stocked bar?in the mess. If there's any whiskey
[sorry Mike I mean whisky] about keep your eye on that Frank
Fisher,providing Bones hasn't got to it first.Oh make sure you get one of
those wind up torches since he fails to pay the electric bill,if he did he
wouldn't buy the bulbs anyway. Hope your entry to the mess won't be a mess
like my entry to the mess [ it was dark then] It was and still is littered
with black bin bags bursting out soggy cheese tomato pizza left overs which
permanently stuck to my trousers and Toms dog keeps having a nibble at them.
If this info doesn't bother you you deserve to be one of the noble nutters.

Mike,

        Thanks for the welcome. I searched very carefully to find an
efficient, professional, highly disciplined organisation and I chose JHB!!
I've made a good number of daft decisions in my life but I think this will
be one of the better ones. 

Glad to be on board.

All the best,

John H

I'm surprised to hear that there was any red diesel left. I - and I suspect
some of the others - have been running our cars on it for a while now.
Since the crew toilets have yet to be fixed, I suspect that you may find
that the pool is a different hydrocarbon, with a touch of ammonia to the
odour. 

 

Regarding outfits, you should realise that the lads feel rather strongly
about wearing skirts (at least during working hours) - even your two
Scottish pilots.  Please make sure you buy from the mens section of the
catalogue the next time.

 

@ John Hunt - welcome to the asylum ...

I am sorry to interrupt you all during your coffee break but it is the one
time I can guarantee finding you all in the same place. Before any of you
ask I am trying hard to get the heating restored to the crew room and you
may have noticed Big Brian working on the oil tank at the rear of the
building. He will be back in a few days once his arm is better but in the
meantime may I ask you not to walk round that area or throw matches into the
admittedly large pool of red diesel that has collected after the incident.
Anyway that is not the reason I have popped in to see you.

 

I would like to introduce a new pilot to JHB. John Hunt has been using FSX
for several years and mostly in GA aircraft and VFR around the UK. He has
recently joined VATSIM/IVAO and would like to gain experience in both IFR
and online operations. I cannot think of a better bunch of wise, old pilots
to help him out. Well, I could, but they were too expensive..

 

John, welcome to the slightly mad world of JHB. I know the guys will take
you to one side and tell you that I run a shoestring outfit but that is just
their sense of humour. I hope you will enjoy flying with us.

 

Talking about outfits reminds me to tell you all that the last sets I
ordered were not too successful and replacements will be coming soon. There
was nothing poor about the quality of the last delivery from China but some
confusion may have crept in about the order. Somehow they got the impression
that pilots are fit and slim and made the clothes accordingly. I am in no
way suggesting you have all become a little more portly but the new outfits
will be let out slightly..
