We started with 6, 1 has left to join later after struggling to shift his house & study in the same time, 1 have had difficulties with the ground school (but was done after 9 months), 1 have had Financial troubles as he suddenly (his family) lost all of their money somewhere, 2 have joined late & had to spend 7 more weeks to cover what the 2 of us had to cover (more ground school subjects).
Batch One were done in Oct 2009 from Ground School, we (the 2) were done from Ground School in Jan 2011, 7 of the 9 in Batch One accepted to fly in Clark, this made Alpha to come & ask us (batch 2) to cover the 2 empty slots, accordingly we became batch 1, while the other guys became batch 2
You guys should contact guys from the other batches...there's a big difference between the guy watching the match on TV & the guys who are PLAYING the match...
