G SIXTY and CAT3C AUTOLAND, great post.
Quite often at night time when on a MIRSI1A arrival for 23R, we end up with a shortcut, downwind right hand and when we break through the cloud at about 3500 feet , we are directly above Manchester City Centre. It’s an amazing view and I just know what the passengers are thinking. I say to myself how lucky I am to have such a job.
Quite right about timing and right place right time. If I was training all over again, I would want to complete maybe September 2011 my guess. Hopefully airlines will be recruiting for summer 2012 by then and all those experienced guys will have been soaked up.
I would say it’s a good time to be starting module right now and not to rush it too much.
G SIXTY and CAT3CAUTO, will pm you both later
