One VGS pilot who is a good friend has been "offered" transfer to another VGS with travel provided, he must commit to two full weekends a month, OK so far.
1. He is married so has a life.
2. He is a police officer who on his duty roster gives him two weekends a month off .
3. The police unit he is with is a Public Order unit with CT duties and the units rest days can be and are cancelled at the last minute and at certain times of the year are cancelled all together.
4. He is an ATC Sqn Commander so has other cadet commitments some weekends and camps.
He has the figures for AEF but it appears that he would need to be B1 and he is at B2 due to him having to cancel his B1 course because of work.
He could fly locally as his shift hours allowed him to fly in the morning before duty on lates ,16:00-midnight or on "nights" 19:00 -03:00 he could fly in the afternoons.
Will he fly with the ACO again ? I would think not !
