Thanks for the response folks. I will be undertaking the ATPL studies next year. Appears they are something which may well be required more than the current environment dictates, regarding the introduction of new CASRs.
And yes Raingauge, I do realise there is much ground to be covered before a job might come my way, I'm expecting it'll be '04 at the earliest (No help from "Mummy & Daddy" here). Thanks for the shower/rain too, more of this country could do with the same about now.
