Well, to throw in my two penneth for what it's worth. I am also on the next 6 week OJT just got to battle my way through mind numbing LVP's first. Remember those numbers ! I was speaking to one of the instructors on the sims today and he was saying how most of them hate summatives as they have to turn from friendlies into "Judge and executioner" but I guess it has to be done. Personally, although I probably want to go area I can't wait to get out there and see how it really works without that "pause clocks" safety net and as far as I am aware all my colleagues share my enthusiasm. As for the standard of students I don't see anybody getting an easy ride in fact having just lost 7 on the cross runway phase including three very marginals I would suggest the opposite is true. Within the environment at CATC the instructors do their best for us, I am sure none of them want to see us fail, and in return we do the same. The proof of the pudding etc. will be apparent by christmas. Let us know if this bunch of "Six weekers" was up to scratch, Cheers Vlad
