No. SASless does not have a point. Training oversees in areas like the US or Canada is not cost efficient. I'm sure you have all heard of this 'leaning' process, eh?
It was hard enough scraping together enough pennies for an EX in Morocco recently. Which was, by the way, essential training. We were limited to carrying only 20kgs of kit because we had to travel with a no frills, budget airline. I don't know about you but for a two week det my flying kit alone weighs more then 20kgs.
By the way, the locals woudn't allow us to low fly (gives the camels the hump!). Hmm, guess the only place to do it is in good ol' Blighty.
