Hi Onan,

I started on C310, 402, and 404's flying punters and freight both night and day in Scotland. Fond memories, yes. Learnt something from that? Definately! I've got nothing against the 250hr guys, hell they're taking leaps up the career ladder and will in time mature into perfectly reasonable pilots, just like the rest of us (hopefully!) but it's true they have 'missed out' on that certain something that is single crew twin flying in crap weather, no radar, late at night in the winter, picking up ice, over the North Sea, being thrown around all over as you couldn't see it was a CB and wondering if your bladder will hold out until smoother air!!!! Ahhhhhhhh, memories are made of this....................!

Enjoy,

PP
