Thanks...
Hufty! its been a VERY LONG time my friend how are you. (Chums at Bristol during the IR!)

Anyway, i'll let you on a lil secret that another good friend of mine at MON used at the interview, which resulted with him being offered EDI as a base along with the job offer.

During the interview he was told the usual 1 month before start we'll advise you of base. A scottish base being a primary reason for moving outfits and also having to give 3 months notice with MON, he told them at the interview 'i might as well stop you right there as i dont wanna waste your time - i have to give 3 months notice im not gonna quit a job not knowing where i'll be sent I want EDI, GLA or Newcastle'. The response was 'we'll see what we can do'. And as a result he's now a happy man in EDI

They're desperate for pilots at most bases, from what i can gather so if you have an interview push the point.
