Forgive me, but Spot4 may have a very good point! Maybe it's not just about flying. Maybe it IS about attitude.

When I were a lad, you could get chopped for a lack of OQs (ie neither having a positive attitude nor a concomitant realisation that you were not necessarily God's Gift to aviation) which, when coupled with a flying inability even at an OCU, could be your downfall. Moreover, if you hadn't been CR for 6 months, then you were only borrowing the wings, until you were. Same rule applies today!

Now I'm not suggesting anything particular in this case but I am sure that BEagle would agree that whilst the RAF is all about flying, this forum (not this thread) often displays attitudes that mark out the "yoof of today" and a lack of what used to be understood as gentlemanly behaviour.

Look deeper into the facts before you start pillorying from an opinionated position, chaps!

What say you, BEags old boy!?
