That's ok 4 or 500 that don't give a rats, it just means there's 2000-2500 that don't give a rats about any north american sport. In fact there's about 5.7 billion in that bracket.

Q: What's a Kiwi? and where do they come from?

A: Who cares.

AA: No one likes any N.A. sports? such as basketball, ice hockey, figure skating, lacrosse, horse shoes etc? How many sports originated in N.Zed.?

Have a nice day and have fun being an ex-pat as that's the only way you will be able to earn a living (unless you have 2000 acres of wine land).


PS: I love rugby. After my Italian squad missed out I was going for Wales. Now I'll just go out and gather some chestnuts in the beautiful fall weather. Guess I'd have to pull for the All Blacks now but I'd prefer a 0 - 0 tie.




Ciao bello,
Soda

Hola,

Consiste en dos exámenes teóricos con base en el banco de preguntas de la FAA (las puedes conseguir con ASA, Prepware, etc.), el primero es de ATPL y el segundo de IFR. Si mal no me acuerdo creo que eran 50 preguntas por cada exámen y una hora para completar cada uno.

As John Cleese once said on an American chat show:

"What other country holds a world championship in a sport (several in fact) but doesn't invite other countries to compete?"

Couldn't logon at 1830 HKG time, so I called the help desk. Even CX.com was down. Ouch that will have hurt. I wonder how much revenue we lost to the competition in lost bookings, with Xmas the rush just a few weeks away.

Now that it might be hurting their pockets perhaps they will have a proper look at fixing the whole IT system.

Additionally, learners world wont allow me on to do the safety management course and quiz (says its been down since 4 Nov). Well, I guess I wont be doing it unless I get credit to go to CX and do it at work!

I was down is despatch at around 1930 last night and no one could get on intraCX there either. It's pretty bad when it starts to affect people trying to get their job done.
