@Silverchild79,
It was amazing how things worked at Dyess, a bief example of how I handled it
First Year there
Boss: When is the plane gonna be ready to hydro
Me: 1400 I think
Boss: Well we need it by 1315, make it happen
Me: ****
By the time I left
Boss: When's this plane gonna be ready
Me: Oh man, I dunno, could be like 1600
Boss: Well I need it by 1515!
Me: Alright Sir, we'll give it hell
*1400 exaclty*
Me: Sir the plane is ready to Hydro
Boss: Dammit, two hours ahead of schedule? great job
Me: Thank you sir!
worked everytime :-)
