Sorry to sound unsympathetic. But if anyone does come across to the Big Easy, then I'd welcome them. However, they should NOT be given a regional base just because they will easily 'slot in'. Go where there's work and wait your turn on a transfer list, like the rest of us have to. It's bad enough seeing new hire cadets get sent to desirable regional bases when many of us with families have to commute. AMS/LIS/OPO/LGW should be a starting point just like it is for the rest of us.
