Perils of the world-Life of a Sky sailor
Machiavelliest:
There would be one large fuel tank split into multiple cells/bladders.
Lord Dick Tim:
A fuel bladder! I just like the sound of that.
I've also been thinking about proper clothing at altitude. Glasses of some kind seem almost a must, also staying covered from direct sunlight might be in order as well.
How do you think crew are hired onto a vessel, contracted for a period of time, from location to location, or pretty much form a company and stay with it for along as it lasts?
Mill Wilkinson:
I believe it is a time-period contract for the most of time, especially with defending crewmembers. You always need a good engineer who knows your ship, but you can cheapskate with wages when it comes to guards and the like.
Mercenary bands probably are trip-hired, but mercenary companies offer longer employment and a place to bunk and eat in-between.
Military ships are most likely unit-based with a term of service.
I think the means of employment on a ship are as varied as there is needs for a crew to man the positions. Crucial members are more rigidly tied to their ship, while less-necessary people might be hopping from ship to ship at a constant basis.
Clothing is probably varied depending on the location people fly in. Tinted goggles and well-tied hats are a must, but the warmth-factor of a clothing depends probably on the region and altitude, which should be told by the captain. :D
Edit: Also, how in the seven hells did somebody get the idea of mounting a field gun on an airship? I mean, familiarity factors aside (I'm artillery corporal) that is pretty jury-rig solution.
Lord Dick Tim:
In the SeaBees we commonly referred to it as the Hoorah or Marine solution.
They would have a vehicle, and a gun, I as a welder would be expected to put said gun on vehicle. My only official response wold be "can do".
Machiavelliest:
No AC. So no arc welding. The mindset seems appropriate to the world, though.
