Lukesdad is quite correct.

I believe there is a world of difference between a CRB range of 1-10 with a practical range of perhaps 3-8 and a PA score that ranges upto 180. The PA score is also potentially more emotive. That is all I was alluding too.

Nick, that is partly what I was trying to avoid, like telling exam results. Everyone does their best.

The other abbreviations you mention are simply short titles for the various officer branches.

Are you sure that it doesnt stand for Cute Round Bum?
Maybe the RAF are trying to recruit a perter standard of Officer?

Well there we are people, everything I've come to expect from PPRuNe.

A question from me:

A considered response from the Navigator

The answer from Plum and nick 0021

And things put back into perspective by GPMG !

I am no longer in ignorance and I have a better understanding of the system.

As Butch once said to Sundance, 'Who are you guys?'

Lukesdad, your last line begged a one-liner. Instead I had another glass of chardonay.

For extra credit, name the sheriff that was pursuing Butch and Sundance!
