Northern, I agree with you all the way, and if I was 30+, I would object to any remark about age limitations should they insult my ability to perform. I guess I was trying to be realistic specifically regarding sponsorship, I don't know if i am tho! I have never worked for an airline and have never been in a job to do with recruitment so wouldn't know the key facts behind recruiting people. (I don't think Id want to be in recruitment job either! all those applications!).
It's always good to see another "Sherburner". I would love to meet up sometime. I should be at the airfield this weekend in YO. I'll only be around for a while as I'm flying down to take some relatives for a spin in RX at Nottingham.
Are you buy any chance with Bristol? I am due to take mod 1 exams in April, I'm on the March brushup.
Revsigin "Airframce icing" as we speak!
