I'm guessing the finger pointing
is sort of what you had in mind when you mentioned ops and mx with respect
to delays and/or cancellations.


Some of the time. Often it was just because mx cold take credit for scheduling
effectiveness on a late sortie when the ops guys, having missed range slots,
basically just had to bore holes in the air. Upset a lot of guys because it
seemed the priority was to fly planes not train crews.
