Inside CTC....


Wee Peter Kerr, CP36's very own Glaswegian crack addict, how he got through selection I will never know. In this photo Peter is demonstrating how we spend 99.9% of our time, sitting in front of a poxy computer screen revising for our Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL's) exams.

The Maori call NZ, "Aotearoa", which means "Land of the Long White Cloud". However, it seems that something may have been lost in translation. Guy Adams (CP34) has reliably informed that the true meaning is - "Land of the continuous shitty fog and pissing down rain".

CTC have finally agreed to employ illegal immigrants to de-ice the aircraft for us. I believe this one is called Damien, rumour has it that CTC caught him rummaging around in their bins looking for potatoes and lucky charms.

Another flight canned due to crap weather, time to hit the books again.

The crew room

I love this photo. It really captures the look of shear terror on Coldwell's (middle) face prior to our aircraft type rating exam.
