New generic WSOP trgn.
Having been through the new generic WSOp system, I could agree with a lot of people on this issue but not with others. When we went through 55, wanting to 'hang off the back of a chinook', we knew that we could be sent to rods and our course motto was even going to be 'we knew the risks.' Around 85-90% of us got what we wanted and the rotary wannabees who got rods yes were very disappointed but now have thrown themselves into it and are doing well.
Before I take some fire though, I agree this is easy for me to say having got my choice of streaming.
I would also strongly agree with keeping your nose clean and not pissing instructors off whilst on 55 but also A sqn. This could inadvertently lead to the start of your demise !!!
Oh and to add my comment to the strand above, I enjoyed the dominie package. Good introduction to as you say SA, airmanship, CRM!, ATC Comms etc etc.
