My understanding - at this stage OF COURSE - is that a ground school is being planned for September...watch this space!
As for my contract vs. permanent flying thing - NEVER! 3 year interviews (ooops - contracts!) are fine for others - not for me, who wants to make flying a career!
Yes Ditzy, we all have a great amount of fun (some more than others, eh Ditzy!

)
As for my info - believe me, it's kosher. I have my finger on the pulse, so to speak!
