All rings loadsa bells. When I went through training, you had to pass the JP course to be considered for helis (which I wanted). Now you have to (effectively) fail! However, the suspension boards do not come to any decisions lightly - it would probably amaze most of the students up for the chop just how much soul searching goes on. BUT, in times of change and budget restrictions it will only be those most likely to succeed who get to multis AND only if there are any slots. If you are one of those who didn't, you just have to accept you're not good enough! If we were still on the old scheme you would almost certainly have been chopped at Linton/Leeming/Syerston or Cranwell!!
