Pilot16,
thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate the solidarity ! I am so disappointed, but am determined not to let those ****** at gatwick get the better of me ! If necessary, I will go to the states to do my FAA CPL and then come back and go for a class 1 on renewal standards. Nothing is going to stop me being a pilot, as it has been my lifetime dream sinece the age of 4 !! Thanks again, and let me know how your appeal is going. By the way, do you know if the appeal involves going back down to gatwick to be reassessed ?
Cheers, divorcingjack
