Sorry boss, forgot the others were flying "gratis". (Now, just make sure I don't send this to the list.....)

You never saw that, read it, heard it or otherwise obtained that
information. You were dreaming..

I'll never hear the end of this malicious rumour if I don't nip it in the
bud now...

Blimey, longer than I imagined. I guess "lapsed" probably doesn't
cover
it, I'm surprised I'm still getting the pay cheques!

Well done all! I must find more time to fit in a flight now and

then

myself. I can't remember the last time I logged an official JHB

flight?

Promotions get harder the higher up the ranks you go so it

increasingly rare to announce such events.

IÂ’m very pleased to say there is ample excuse for a

celebration bash

because I have three promotions to announce this week.

*HILL, John, 199** promoted from** ATP Captain** to** Senior

ATP

Captain**.*

*STOPFORTH, Fred, 207** promoted from** Senior Commercial

Captain**

to** ATP Captain.*

*STACEY, John, 218** promoted from** Flight Officer** to**

Captain.*

First my congratulations to Mick for jumping off the bottom

rung and

moving up to Captain status – the first of many I hope.

Fred has been plugging away at flights solidly over the last

few

months and has crossed the 500hr mark to promote him to ATP

Captain.

This is a well deserved promotion and I congratulate Fred on

achieving

this level.

John Hill has taken a break from ATC but has not been idle,

flying

some long sectors in recent months. Having broken the 750hr

barrier

this promotes him to Senior ATP Captain and places him eighth

in the

JHB rankings. I doff my cap...

Senior ATP Captain marks a plateau in the rankings because the

next

two levels to Master and Command ATP Captain require a huge

jump in

hours. In truth the Master ATP Captain rank was introduced

late on in

Noble Air because it was not anticipated that some pilots

would ever

break the 1000 hour barrier and the Command ATP Captain was

only

brought in after some Noble pilots broke through 3000 hours of

flight.

To put it into perspective the current 3500 hour requirement

for

Command ATP Captain would require a pilot to fly for 2.5 hours

every

night for nearly four years.

Regardless of these high levels any promotion is well deserved

as each

is graduated so that your level of experience will have

improved

markedly from the previous level. I sincerely congratulate

everyone

who achieves a higher ranking..

Now where did I put that tankard..
