This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

More aviation stuff
Interestingly enough, I spent a couple of years working for a company heavily involved in aerospace communications.

This company runs a messaging system for the aerospace industry that's meant to be wonderful. So good, in fact, that this company used it for internal communications itself instead of 'unreliable' normal e-mail systems.

Trouble is that this company would do anything to make a profit, which included woefully underproviding hardware to make this messaging system work.

Which was why any time a potential client was being shown how good the system was, the company staff would be quietly asked not to use it. Once the punter had seen the smooth running of this system and gone off, we'd be back to messages taking a day to arrive, arriving 200 times in an hour, or simply getting lost in the ether.
