  Promotions get harder the higher up the ranks you go so it becomes 
increasingly rare to announce such events.

  I'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..
