One waits with bated breath and panting anticipation!
Jersey European's jet fleet used to consist of that flying tractor affair, the BA146. Not that long ago the stepping stone to a jet type rating from the F27 necessitated a long period of baseing in Belfast. There is nothing wrong with that per se, and those who moved from the UK to Northern Ireland and took their families with them were, by and large, pretty happy I think. Those who went on their own and tried to commute were miserable. I believe that the company got so tired of pilots jump seating back and forth from Belfast to the mainland that they banned the practice.
Perhaps the jet type rating/qualification carrot does not come with the strings it used to but there were many in the days of JEA who who had problems with this aspect and the concurrent issues raised by the matters of seniority and salary.
Good luck!
