Announced my preference for multis on (pretty much) day 1 of Finingley.
"Attitude Problem" appeared many, many times on reports thereafter (may not have been 100% related to that wish), including from a JP pilot instructor who asked whether I wanted F3s or GR1s - C-130 was NOT the answer he wanted. Didn't speak to me for the rest of the (thankfully short) sortie, or anytime thereafter (until I met him when he was a trainee co on VC-10s. Looked a bit sheepish, can't think why...)
Streaming interview post basic JPs was a bollocking, during which the Wingco forgot to tell me I got what I wanted. Had to knock on his door, after it slammed shut behind me, to ask!
During ANTS streaming I was told I was too lazy to go Nimrod or 10s, so got what I wanted then too. Helped that I could drink my instructors under the table (attitude problem resolved).
Sorry, nav input on 'pilot thread'.
