Have been watching this thread with interest since my time in the Phils, am EXTREMELY glad that the cadets have got into the cockpit at long last.. you are a credit to the industry and to yourselves, I keep my fingers crossed that you go on to have long illustrious careers and manage to stick two fingers up at the doubters and the people who've tried their very hardest to ruin it all for you.
Congratulations - you've deserved it!
