Hi Guys, i thought i would share a paragraph/verse that we have on the office at work;

"it is impossible to measure the results of fuelling aircraft safetly. No one can count the fires that never start or the engine failures and forced landings that never take place. And no one can neither evaluate the lives that are not lost, nor plumb the depths of human misery we have been spared. But the man with the fueling hose can find lasting satisfaction in the knowledge he has worked wisely and well, and that saftey has been his first consideration" - Author Unknown.

it sums up our job really, you go home knowing that you have done a good job. anyone else have these sort of words at their work? would love to hear them

Jason

In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.

I don't have a job but I know a bit of one:
"All pigs fed and ready to fly"
Let the music be your master... Will you heed the master's call?

Not really related on the surface but it could still be equally applied to crew resource management. This one comes up in a lot of admin areas:

"Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine". Next time you get handed a "ToDo ASAP" job, ask yourself if this quote applies and I think you'll be amazed at how many times the answer is 'yes'.
