I remember a small 'disturbance in the force' on Christmas day when something bad happened with some corollas. There used to be a lot of pissing and moaning about Internet connection even in Peachgrove - but even then, if you put 50 blocked together with an Internet connection, someone will 'abuse it' - and this was long before 'Skype'
Unfortunately, times have changed, when I was there cars were provided, laptops were provided, for whatever reason - they aren't now, the airline contracts aren't 'anything remotely' what they were then either - you pays yer money and takes yer choice' get experience and do what you can. This has all happened over and over again over the decades. Airlines used to sponsor cadets - I.e. absolutely no over heads whatsoever. Those days are long dead!!! Unfortunately.
