Some of you are just SO funny, and way off the mark !
Snuggle - I think you've lost the Plot - is this going to be renamed the "NPAS Thesaurus" Topic ! ?
Just to put the record straight, I checked back, and have never stated that I am an NPAS pilot,
so that is pure guesswork and conjecture on your part(s) and all those comments,
inferences and attempted insults have been a waste of time
I have NO chips to worry about, or indeed anything else I may choose to wear on my shoulders.
RP - while you've got your Broom out,
how about giving your own closet a sweep and getting rid of all your 'Ye Olde Pilot' hang-ups ?
IIRC your two lads went through Cranwell and Dartmouth didn't they,
but failed to reach Flight Training ?
Maybe that explains a lot of YOUR attitude, and outlook on life,
but it is hardly relevant to the subject of "The demise of NPAS".
