Left outer, right inner. Well done.. I wonder if you might have to use your PPrune "name" on the R/T one day?? Next thing that happens is that they call you in for the op to remove your brain and issue you with the tablets we have to take every day!!!

Director,. .. .Well maybe I will make it back there some day. Just to be given the opportunity to be able to make ANY RT call at all is great. Who knows <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .I have the operation to remove my brain in a few weeks, but they won't find too much Do the tablets have any side effects? They probably have some kind of morale dampeners <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .Cheers. .. .LORI. . . . <small>[ 12 March 2002, 20:20: Message edited by: left outer, right inner ]</small>

Cool

Keep your head down and never, ever argue with the instructors. Smart arses don't get anywhere in this job unless they're management. Well done chaps

Thumbs up

The good news about CATC is that, there are alot of new instructors coming through who are lets say more Student friendly (Not so much them and us). You don't have to learn all the writtens word for word. but it is still very hard work!!!!. .. .Bournemouth is a fantastic town, with some good bars and clubs to unwind in!!!. .. .GOOD LUCK

You would say Bournemouth was a good town Barnaby(sic)now you have been sent to purgatory. . .. .For anyone starting the course i think the best thing you can do before it is read as much as you can on avaition.
