You take the queen's shilling and you do their bidding. You will then realise that you have been shafted by professionals. Rather you than me.
It used to be OC GD Flight Benbecula in my time but same difference I guess.
So if there are no BA sabbaticals and you do the full period service commission, then why the need for a separate BA deal at all? Or is the BA period different from that on offer to other applicants? I'm confused and I'm sure that others are to. Why is there seemingly one system for BA pilots and another for non BA pilots? Or is there? If we could just have the t's crossed, the i's dotted, we can all see if justice is being done and seen to be done. Thank you...
