Heh... what has 757/767 experience got to do with flying gliders ? Ermm.... effects of controls. That's about all I can think of !
I can assure you that I do what I say I do (one or two moderators on PP can confirm that, having been at GECAT at the same time on (different) Boeing courses, amongst other encounters !..<cough> pub <cough>), but I have enough experience to know I have no business turning up at a gliding club with 'blah blah, 767, and there we were, 45 degrees of bank, throttles at idle' crap I heard at my powered flying clubs.
Self-brief, turn-up, have fun, enjoy the experience and social life...yeah, I know I might not get to do a lot of flying but..hmm.... I'm not about hour building ! I have no doubt whatsoever that I am about to enlarge my flying experience and skills exponentially..... it won't help me with a night VOR into Corfu, but it will help me put some hooligan fun back into flying. I say that in the most professional way, and I'm sure you understand what I mean.
Thanks to all of you who have offered ideas, books, tips.... I hope I can put back into my club some of the airline experience I have, and take away some different experiences and skills.
Can't wait...... must be some genetic defect
