Steve,
don't worry about it, the authorities have it all sussed. I remember seeing a picture of the Captain being base checked by CAAFU (summer 1990 at BOH whilst waiting for my go at the GFT's).
If Santa looked worried, it was nothing compared to the reindeers faces as the briefing was concluded with the time honoured phrase "...and at some point in the departure I may fail a power plant..." whilst holding a double barrel shotgun.
