Well.

There it is then.

As of tomorrow morning - CAA Flight Crew Licensing willing - I will no longer be an airline pilot Wannabe.

Firstly and most importantly I must thank all the PPRuNe'rs who have helped, advised and encouraged me over the years. The list of names easily runs to hundreds.

Thank you.

To all those that are following some way in my footsteps - good luck. This medium is too limiting for me to properly express the sheer pleasure I experienced yesterday as I tooled around the sky for the first time in an airliner. Keep working. Keep smiling. Keep dreaming. IT IS WORTH IT.

It will take a few more months for my life to settle down allowing me to return here in full force. I shall write up my 4 year path to the right hand seat into a decent sized posting which I hope will help inspire the resolve of Wannabes everywhere.

Cheers,


WWW

ps if you happen to be on the FRIDAY THE 13TH 07:45 GO633 Stansted to Lyon flight this week - Yes, we were shot down

WWW,

Hearty congrats from me, having watched your development and just missed a cup of coffee at your home field (a long time ago) I am really pleased for you. Mind you, a guy who buys beers like you do is always going to go down well with the CP's

You deserve it mate.

BTW, if you got my email, the offer still stands!

Cheers and well done, I hope to follow in your footsteps in the not too distant future.

Congratulations on your hard earned sucess. I'll be looking forward to your 4 year career path when it arrives. I guess it will be an interesting read. Not long for me now either. I'll be job hunting very soon.

Why thank you one and all.

Don't worry, I won't abandon Wannabeism. In fact I am looking forward to having a better opportunity in the coming years to enhance this forum and PPRuNe Wannabe actitivty generally.

And of course there is the book I am writing on the subject.

Cheers,

WWW
