As expected, we all have to re-apply for the positions available.
Aka prolonging the agony but hopefully they do it right and use it to keep the best people instead of that last in first out bollocks

Meantime fingers crossed for a while longer then

Thanks Steve.

Fingers crossed ..when will you know ......???

Won't be for a couple of weeks at least.

BM could give it a go, from the sounds of things being able to (kind of) fly a quadcopter would put him ahead of most of their flight teams..........just not sure what the reaction of the passengers would be when they hear "Welcome to flight [whatever] going to [wherever], this is Captain Baldymort speaking"  rubschin:

Well not a TMR tale but definitely involved underworld and at least a long standing puzzle has apparently been solved https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-53274895

'The pilot of a seaplane which crashed into an Australian river - killing all on board - had most likely been affected by a gas leak, officials say'

Mind boggling isn't it as Oz is normally renowned for its safety culture

And a little too close to comfort, I've followed this case more than I might otherwise as I chartered its sister DH-2 (VH-AAM) to go celebrate my 50th at that very same Cottage Point (they were called Seaplane Safaris then)
