Amex,
I'm a bit disappointed with the sarcastic tone of your post, especially since I've already apologised for the tone of my own post. But what the hell - as you said, it's much easier to talk to someone in person. I'm hoping to be at the Christmas GatBash, so I'll take you up on the offer of the Guinness, and quite happily listen to any flying stories you've got.
Anyway, let's not get upset about something as silly as this - let's get back to answering the original question, including all information which might be relevant
I'd love to answer to myself, but I haven't got my first flying job yet. So I'll just sit back and read all the replies, and I promise to read the replies closely enough that I don't ask stupid questions in future. On second thoughts, I'll
try to read the replies closely enough that I don't ask stupid questions, but no guarantees
And CL, you are quite right, the question is obviously very important to loads of people, you included.
FFF
