VCC
I am on VCC training at the moment and have a renewed respect for anyone (main crew or VCC) that have qualified through CC training, it is very intense and requires a lot of out of hours study. I am looking forward to the opportunity (should it be required) to work with "real" crew and hope I can contribute, I have heard comments like "they don`t know what they are doing" with ref to VCC, probably from bassamentalists, but they have probably forgotten what their first trip was like. Having witnessed the training I am confident that we can support main crew effectively, and will be able to handle any emergency as well as anyone.
So the letter above is unfounded and a waste on anyones time writing it. (and probably reading it)
