"Get streamed multis from eft and ur safe, come to linton and get chopped.... out on your ear! Makes sense to someone somewhere!"

Well, wasn't entirely like that when I was there. With restreaming for guys who passed the course looming, lots of rumours flew around that you needed to pass Prog Cx or BHT or whatever to be "certain" of a multis/RW seat if you were subsequently chopped.

What actually happened was you were restreamed if you were a good bloke who had worked hard and had an element of potential for something. The couple of guys who were chopped in the Prog Cx-BHT phase who didn't end up flying something else were chopped for reasons above and beyond failing the odd trip.

Work hard, be a nice bloke, get rewarded, it seemed to be; same at the end of the course. A couple of guys from my lot finally got the RW slot they had actually always wanted after not really enjoying the Tucano at all.
