Made it !

Very good afternoon David,
Here it is as promised : the photo in front of the plane! You gave me my IR licence in September 2020 in Oxford (at CAE). Since that, I spent one year in France working for Dassault Aviation before moving to Ryanair and start flying a year ago in March 2022. Starting in Spain and now flying in Poland (Spain was way better;), probably in France soon.
The view of my office is very nice. Thank you for your contribution to my career.
Have safe flights and lot of fun.
Kind regards, Charles Abrand

News from Nick - February 2023

David - hi! Greetings from Guernsey. I'm in my second week now and loving it! I've done my company training and recently started the type rating for the Dornier 228 - which seems like it'll be an exciting aircraft to fly with its trim coupling, droop aileron and STOL capabilities!! The type rating is hard work - so much information to take in - but I'm really enjoying it! I'm training with a chap called Matt Osbourne (who you have done some tests with in the past) and Euan Gregg (FO here) and Nerylee Brook (Capt here) all send their best! You must pop over - there are lots of people who would love to say hello! I hope you are well (and tremendous news on the DfT meeting - may it be the start of a productive dialogue).
Nick
