go_faster.. .thanks for that. I even heard of one guy who was 2 weeks away from grduating 2FTS, and failed because he couldn't join up in formation with another PC9 flying at 400 km/hr at 200ft AGL! The LIF course must be really hard, not to mention 2OCU! <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

I've no quarms about dedication and commitment for the kind of rewards that you guys all speak of.

As far as doing a job that most poeple can only dream about, I hear you. But where there is a will there is a way, and in 6 - 8 years down the track, maybe LASIK will be a bit less risky (and cheaper! ) and I will be accepted (assuming I pass the rest of the selection).

RPPT, I stand corrected.

Schlarp2, cheers for that. What do you do during that long wait for conversion though(2 years is a long time!)?
