Where do chopped pilots go?
In responce to Trim Tabs question. After an EFTS course on Chippies and a FTS course on the JP's with 130hours of Aunty Betty time I was chopped. Failure in air work, was the bland comment in my log book. In reality I reached a wall in and it was taking me too long to find a way over it. I had considered engineering as an option if I had gone early but as I was told by an old instructer "If the company was not shrinking I would have gone multi's".
So I requested to be released, got my commercial. Spent 10 happy years in general aviation before joining the big jet brigade. So I now have the responsibilities of a Flt Lt, have four stripes of a Grp Capt but the pay of an Air Commodore. However I do miss the Air Force.
