Smudge,
Again, cheers for the heads-up. Sounds good mate. I'm not too bothered at which base I start off my career, but GLA would certainly be nice for me!
As for the grass being greener, it looks like the Britannia terms and conditions are pretty good so I think I'll be happy there. Seemingly the contract will be sent out at the start of December after I send them my class 1 (which I’m waiting on the CAA to send to me) so I'll get a better idea of the lay of the land then. I'm wondering if I'll be put in a holding pool after I (and the other cadets) finish the training, but I suppose I'll find out soon enough. Looking forward to Jerez too, looks great on the web site and I’ve heard good things about it (plus I might even get a tan; a real bonus for a pale Scotsman like myself!).
See you soon then!
