You reap what you sow....hopefully it'll all be over for me soon and I won't have to bother any more
Either this means you're hoping to do so well out of a certain project that it'll buy you out of teaching, or you're off to start island hopping for Loganair? (Either way, I hope you'll still be available to torture/examine the occasional PhD student for me ).


At a certain establishment, I succeeded in forcing through mandatory interviews for students doing the combined flying degree - partly on grounds of the extra fees they'd be paying, and partly on grounds of knowing how important it was to be sure that the students would be pretty darned dedicated on such a course.

I was certainly interviewed back when, I think by the good Prof Robin A East (now there's a set of initials to conjur with).
