Thanks mate! If you're looking for work when you've finished training just give me a call, for obvious reasons I'm very big on taking on low hours guys as FOs. Half of my mates on my course at Oxford are joining us!
Thanks martin, I like folk who are willing to give the low hour guys a chance :)
June / July 06 is when I'm aiming to have the fATPL.
P.S. On a side note, does the amount of hours that a potential pilot has, have an effect on the insurance rates for the business?

Good luck Martin! I might have missed this but you must have good funding, i mean you must have another pilot employed?

Good luck.
Also please keep us updated on the book. I'm very interested in how to set up and airline, even though I don't have the balls to try it myself.

Thanks once again guys! Just finished a made day of interviews and got another one full of them to follow tomorrow! If anyone's interested I'm in the telegraph tomorrow and then there's a feature on me in T2 in the Times on wednesday...also going to be on Richard and Judy in a few weeks! Madness!
Will make sure I keep you all updated. DME, not sure on the insurance thing, will ask my ops guy and get back to you. tenthije, I'll make sure I keep you updated on the book.
Concordesst,funding was modest to say the least, but I have 8 pilots on my books!
