Is 'tmrw' somewhere in Wales? Or txtmsg-yoofspeak for 'tomorrow'?
If you've already passed the wings course, perhaps you should demand written confirmation of the fact and also a statement that you are entitled to be accepted for AFT in the future; that your age at that time will not be held against you and that you will receive the same rates of pay and seniority as your pilot peers in the interim? So if you need to accept some blunt job, then at least you'll have a chance the next time that the PMA cyclical swing is desperate for more pilots because they've stuffed up their manning plot yet again.
I have this image of a whole room full of people at Linton chanting "We fly or we f*ck off" to the Binnsworth person. But I guess that'd never happen. And I'm certainly not suggesting that it should.
When I was doing PVR-porridge at Binnsworth a year ago, a GD desk officer actually told me "Lucky you - I wish I was going - I don't trust the bug.gers an inch right now....."
