Fitton Air Traffic Control

Anonymous asked:

Do you know Carolyn? Or just the pilots?

I know the pilots better than Carolyn, though Fitton Airfield is not a big airfield and you meet everyone at least three times a day. Now and then Carolyn goes to the place that sells stuff that looks a bit like food on good days (there are some people who call this place “our canteen” but not many people share this opinion). We all have lots of respect for her (though the guys from engineering will never admit it) because it takes a lot of guts to run a small airline. Once, she made a guy - I think he was one of the marshallers - to mincemeat because he belittled her. He’s gone now, though I don’t know where to (maybe Martha knows). Well, if you’re only in aviation for the glamour, you shouldn’t work on an airfield that’s barely profitable and depends on an airline whose owner is amazed when they make it through yet another year without going bust.

BORED. BORED.

Welcome to my world, mate. Nothing ever happens in Fitton.

So, are you signed up for Miss or Mr. Fitton?

Mister Fitton. Small mercies and so on.

The first and hopefully last Mister and Miss Fitton beauty contest will take place soon.

If I find the person who signed me up for this, I will kill them brutally and slowly.

Good luck, fair Carl.

I am sure you will storm to victory.

Douglas…

Tell me: will there be a bikini contest?

I’m not sure Mrs. Carl will approve…

You’d only be flattered if I signed you up as revenge, wouldn’t you?

Couldn’t you just… I don’t know, withdraw or not show up?

Either way, there’s no need to make all of us suffer for something Douglas did…

I’m not 100% sure that it was Douglas - George from engineering is my second suspect. And not showing up is a bit difficult - my fiancée got wind of this and said something about “making a statement against stereotypes and the current ideal of beauty”. In my opinion it’s statement enough that she asked me to marry her.

What is it about flying that you like so much? It can’t be JUST the sexy stewardesses. *CoughArthurCough*

It could be the, frankly, impressive wages, or the commanding uniform but, if I had to settle on just one thing, I would say it was the looks of unwavering adoration I get from the passengers, as I stride towards the Flight Deck.

That’s the one thing where I wish I could be a pilot: I never get admiring looks, I get only a disapproving look from the cleaning lady.

Ah, yes. Well, to be fair to you, Carl, the cleaning lady disapproves of us all.

I believe she thinks our pesky plane-flying gets in the way of her meticulous cleaning schedule.

Douglas, delete that post, delete it! She reads our blogs (gossip that she is) and your post will bring her revenge on all of us!

Oh, what do I care? That woman loathes me more than my ex-wives and Carolyn put together.

If she is reading then, yes; it is me who keeps ‘vandalising’ your appalling, passive-aggressive notes about the cleanliness of the portakabin. I am, merely, correcting your grammar.

Also, ‘repugnant’ is spelt with an ‘a’.

Martha, if you’re reading this (and I’m sure you are), this has got nothing to do with me. And I even binned the old pizza boxes yesterday.
