Wow yeah that sounds like Russian roulette.. don't get me started on supply.. lol. Had a rather large argument with a guy in BAF last year. Not sure what your term is for an aircraft accepted by flight crew, then they find a discrepancy with it before leaving that can affect theie mission- but we call it a "red ball". Well we had a red ball and long story short, he (supply) told me to drive to the other side of base to pick up the part if I needed it so quickly. It sucked because he was higher ranking than me, and he didn't like the way I replied to that. But I told him he needed to get off his ass and do his damn job, this isn't home station and that the plane needed to get in the air 20 minutes ago (not to disclose info but it was an alert mission) facebook can wait and while he is driving to get the part I can be attending to the one causing the issues. They seem so lazy, but of course I don't understand their job and they probably feel the same way about me and my job. But sense of urgency sheesh..!
Being apologized to by the same guy that chewed you out is kind of satisfying though
