Josh is incredibly important to your life and is much beloved. On a scale of one to ten, how awesome is he?
Here’s my real question. At the end of the day, you worked hard and gave up a lot of your time to achieve this goal- what makes you go back and think that it’s all worth it? What is it about flying that just clicks with you?

RyanAir… Thats a easy answer… British Air… xD
Yeah I through that one in for variety, was a more focused on the British Airways part though.

Did you get a choice of what airline you flew for? What others? If no, would you have chosen a different airline?
Just a general something I’ve always wondered, what piloting wise are the major differences between two similar models of the same family, such as the 319 and the 320. Is there much of a difference in how they handle and how you as a pilot handle them, particuarly in the critical phases of flight?

New Question;
Where did you complete your flight training? Was it a third party ,like CTC or directly through easyJet. Aswell as this, what prior qualifications did you have when applying to easyjet?
From talking with pilots, I’m pretty sure A319/20 is the same type rating with Airbus. A321 is a new rating but fairly easily attainable. I’ll definitely chat with Dale about this. Thanks!

Were you training on Infinite Flight before/while you were training with Easyjet?
Did ypu fly the A319/A320 in Infinite Flight?
Definitely not an easy answer… RYR pays well, you can build a ton of hours very quickly, and they have a modern fleet!
