flyfish,
I thought that was a really enjoyable read, and one that will hopefully encourage others to also post their experiences, for there doesn't seem to be that much info available on what really goes on during what must be the most exciting part of a pilot's career (save for that first solo). Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
Congratulations on your start with GSM and best of luck with it, but don't expect a clothing allowance for the kilt.
