Right knock it off you lot, as you are well aware the most stunning talented gorgeous hot little blonde in all of Scotland also occupies a Highland RHS. And that kiwi guy is a bloody great guy as well

I can confirm for anyone who's interested this is definitely a Highland only scheme, the assessment is done by our people and we are definitely not going to be sending you to Coventry when you've finished.

It's certainly not a 'banishment' to the Highlands either, the lifestyle we have here absolutely wallops Coventry if you ask me. in fact the last two Coventry cadets who got sent up here about 3 years ago, fought tooth and nail to stay when they were supposed to go back to CVT because they liked it up here so much (they're now both captains here). What else ... quick command, better pay than either Logan or Eastern, Highlands on your doorstep with all that associated outdoorsy stuff like hill walking and mountain biking and whisky drinking and windsurfing etc to do on your days off. Other benefits that aren't so immediately obvious, such as beachfront houses on the nicest white-sand 10 mile long beach in all of Britain that still come in at well south of £100,000 (and it's the last place in Britain where the property price boom is still happening). Interesting rosters with plenty of charters round Britain and Scandinavia along with the bread-and-butter Scottish Isles stuff.

OK so you're going to do some time working in ops before we turn you loose in the aircraft, and yep you're going to have to load and unload newspapers both as an ops person and indeed when you're flying for us as well, if you can't handle that then don't apply.

However if you are looking for sponsorship that's going to lead to one of the last truly interesting jobs in Britain, in a really nice part of the country, and a rock solid grounding in real flying for a year or two before you bugger off to your boring 737 job, then you really should be applying for this one.
