[QUOTEFrom what I hear from one airline, it takes 40 VB candidates to apply, to strike two for success.][/QUOTE]

Funny, they are the same numbers of SOs I have heard applying to Dragon.... Talk about jumping the sinking ship!

Are you applying Buzz? You could be Hardy.

Hey Knackenburger, perhaps a 27 month secondment to quiet peaceful retreat somewhere overlooking a giant volcanic crater would do you the world of good!
Firstly, it would give you the chance to purge some of that obvious inner turmoil you carry with you, and secondly you`d be able to watch your sad career as it plummets into the great abyss, but be sure to wipe the tears from eyes just long enough to take a look up and watch as the poor uneducated VB pilot takes off and heads into the stratosphere.

Keep smiling mister happy.

Sorry Polly

Hardy's shoes have been ably filled by Buzzy. We need a Laurel. What about that bloke I read about in the in-flt magazine? He was Top Gun for a day or something. He has a few hours of military fast turbo-prop exposure.

Apples are bitter mate. Grapes are sour.
