Hobbit and Fratemate, thank you for replying so honestly. In blighty and for JAA these days, you do include some sim time, for say the application of a cpl and atpl within your totals. As I no doubt expect, you probably sit in the sim several times a year for a good few hours.....no ? Made me laugh though and i'm sure the 76 oppo is great fun and a job worth protecting. I'll be patient and honest and work a couple more months to reach 3k.
If I get a shot at what sounds like a very interesting operation, I might let you have a go of my playstation....
Thanks for the input
Jenson
