I am unaffected by movements in the value of Australia's currency relative to others because I have no AUD income, no AUD deposits and no AUD denominated assets.

I will indeed have to live with the highs and lows of the value of Sterling and the point is , to date the effect of the referendum result is that it has all been lows with that looking to increasingly be the cased going forward. Now Mogg has suggested that we will not see the economic benefits of Brexit until 2050. Well that will be too late for me.

I made no such claim. I have never said the democratic will of the people as to IF we should leave or HOW we should leave should be ignored if that will affects me personally in a negative way. You are the one arguing that the people should only have a say in IF we exit the EU but not in HOW we do so. Who is the democrat here and who is the ideologue seeking to get their maximum desire by denying the people a right to a say (directly or indirectly and indirectly we have already HAD our say once on no deal as a way of exiting) in HOW we leave the EU.

No. It can be revoked. Apparently, according to an ECJ judgement, without any effect upon the UK’s terms and conditions of membership (I personally doubt that somehow).

However, AFAIUI, when Article 50 was activated (incidentally, by a parliamentary vote of 6/1) it became primary legislation and a similar such vote would be required to revoke it. That’s very unlikely to happen (ask the bookies :lol: )

Londonrake,

Very interesting regarding Article 50.

As to the other 2 spoilt remoaners, no one cares about currency fluctuations. The question was about leaving the EU and people voted for that they didn’t vote to leave only if the currency remains unaffected.

Don’t forget about our date remoaners. I will need some fresh remoaner salt! :lol:

You can thank your lucky stars that there are captains like myself who are not defeatist dweebs and have a positive self belief in themselves and their country. Can you imagine the alternative? :lol:


Congratulations making Captain, Paphitis! :D

Ahem at about 14000 hours you don’t go in as FO Kikapu with guys on a 1000 or maybe 3000 hours tops. It’s Direct Entry I’m afraid wherever you go otherwise the gradient won’t work. :D

Lowest I seen is an FO with 700 hours.

I’ve got a lot of flying I accumulated over 26 years. When I retire I could be close to 30,000 if I maintain the current rate. But 25000 is more realistic as I don’t think I can go all the way

And I’m kicking the tyres right now and am about to do a 1 sector in 25 minutes from now. 50 minutes down to Sydney for a min rest layover and then it’s about 6 hours of flying tomorrow and another 4 to 5 the following day then I got 3 days off in Adelaide. :D

I did not know how many hours you had under your belt before, so I just assumed you recently moved from right seat to the left.

14,000 hours is most definitely the left seat position as long as you have your class 1 medical certificate.

I used to get asked how many hours I had. "Three thousand". Then the old sweats would say "Night?". :( :lol:

No I’ve been left seat for a long time and I was also a Checkie at the previous job on the Dash 8s for Customs Coastwatch for a British Firm that invented air to air refuelling just after WW2 it I am not mistaken. That was a Defence company.

The jobs in the US are also Direct Entry however there may be 2 to 3 months where I fly left seat with another Captain in the right and log In Command Under Supervision ICUS as the aircraft are US registered and I need to sit the FAA Air Law Air Transport Exams to convert my Australian ATPL to a US FAA ATPL. A process that may take a few weeks to complete under my employers sponsorship.

The 2 countries recognise all qualifications but you need to do the ATPL Air Law because Australia refuses to ratify IVAO laws like the rest of the work so there are some legislative irregularities between the 2 countries.
