multiskilling rigger 2 sootie

[bluejob]

Is the course worth while? can we realy be turned in to a sootie in 3 weeks?

I have now sat through the course and it is pants why are we doing this????

A Rigger could be trained to do Sooty work in one day, never mind 3 weeks!!! I mean what do they do but sit with their hand on throttles during ground runs....

Await response.

Apart from the fact that the multiskilling courses are generic and very heavily biased to the fast jet world and also a cheap answer to the old apprentice Rigger to sootie and vice versa is easy i feel sorry for the leckies to Avionics. Brain drain or whatDT_Xtremez_35:

Engines are just another way of warming the fuel before use, but this thing pushes it all out the back.
No more complicated than many other components you've already messed up.

Treat it just as another component - Just a lot of hot air really.

To be honest it matters not if you do the course or not, as i've found out that the chances of being allowed off the rigger desk in the hanger to do some Sootie work is next to none. The sqn i worked before made an effort to get you to do your IP, but once that was done the law of which diary was fuller won and hence no more sootying. However it was useful to run engines for ECS funcs etc not that the bomb ever let me do that. The guys i felt almost sorry for were the sooties going to rigger and suddenly having their work load doubled and not a chance of a brew or a Jaffa cake. DT_Xtremez_09:
