Millerscourt,
Well done mate, 20,000 hours!!
Out of interest, does having 20,000 hours mean that you are twice as good a pilot as a pilot with 10,000 hours.
Holy !!!! you must be 20 times as good a pilot as one with 1,000 hours. Quick if you get your application in pronto they'll be banging your door down coz they won't need 56 captains they'll be able to get away with 36. Now thats progress.
In fact call the RAF and they'll name you Red 1-9, those mates with 2000 hours would be huuugely impressed by your display of flying skill. Is there a formation button on the EICAS, if not have a chat with old man boeing to sort that out. Come to think of it there isn't one on the 340 either!
Don't you love aviation, so driven by seniority that people actually start to believe their own press and think that they get better with age. Like prostitution its one of the few professions that you can get into without displaying any natural aptitude or ability, in fact if you have enough money you can even buy your way in.
Sorry mate, I must apologise I didn't realise that your 20,000 hours was gained in the Womens Royal Auxillary Balloon Corps?
Ghost
P.S. If you get in quick, I won't be fingered for the 340. While you get your bunk time, I'll be on the beach.
