Vipero, you are a very sad, strange little man. By your last post, you have displayed to all that you are both an intellectual and cultural pygmy. I accept, and have metioned before that I have met the OCCASIONAL flight crew member with a chip on his/her shoulder, but they have been in the minority. What is so special about having worked in operations for ten years. I have worked in a very busy Flight Operations/Despatch for seven years, and whilst doing that I also a) worked as an aircraft cabin cleaner b)An airport security guard, and c) in passenger services - in order to pay for my flying licence and hours. I am now a Flight Crew Instructor for a major airline. I might add that I also hold formal qualifications in flight operations and despatch. Your cynical attack on the flight deck community is a poor reflection on your professionalism, and unfortunately shames you. I am certainly VERY glad that I do not have to receive my Flight Crew Briefing or despatch details from you. I suggest that you find yourself a job more in keeping with your attitudes, perhaps as a despatcher for a minicab company.
Taildragger II - Remember TD2, that not all despatchers/Operations staff are the same. Also remember that IT IS HARD TO SOAR WITH EAGLES WHEN YOU WORK WITH TURKEYS!
BTW, You will find accomodation around the field in question a bit pricey. I seem to remember that the club you are joining has some accomodation for instructors. If not, you will be bound to find something in Slough, or Maidenhead. Prices vary but shared house will set you back a couple of hundred a month.
