Thumbs up Passed my Cabair assessment today!!

Hi guys,

Just a quick note to say thanks to all those on here who have given me advice and help in preparing for my assessment. I scored a lot better than I thought I would and now can go away and decide on a start date and other important things.

This isn't a thread for naysayers to tell me how bad things are.... and not to train right now.... and Cabair is rubbish.... and modular is the way to go.. I'm a clever boy and I have eyes and ears and I know the state of play.

Again thanks to all those who I have either spoken to directly... or to those who have posted constructive, helpful comments on other topics which I have also found useful.

All the best,

UKDY.

Is this genuine

Is this actually a genuine post, or yet another of cabair's desperate attempts to keep its name on the first page of this forum for the sake of some free advertising.

You have 2 arms, 2 legs and a BIG wallet.......(or Daddy does!) surprisingly enough.....You have passed, well done!

Welcome to Cabair, now we just need a small deposit to secure your place.......non refundable of course!

Now you can pay your 60 grand and be tought by an itallian idiot in spain, also by a spanish looser that does not know what the rudder pedals do, then be bethalated back at cranditz.

Give it 24 months and you will know what I mean.

Good luck.

But remember the equation:-

Cabair + 60k + recession = financial suicide

You guys spend days and days,sabotaging other peoples threads with your negative comments!
If you are pilots,you are the nerds we see downroute wearing socks and sandals,with low interpersonal skills,checking out the hot cabin crew that you'll never nail and moaning about how crap you think your job is.If you aren't pilots yet,you are just..pathetic!

We all know you think is insane spend that much money on training,good foy you,but is getting boring now.

The guy seems genuine,let him be,he's happy with cabair so good luck to him.

And no,I'm not from cabair,you can search my posting history if you want!

Check my post history If you like. What part of this isn't a thread for naysayers did you not understand!!??

ShipShape 79 Charlie - You have no idea how ridiculously deep my dad's pockets are... sooooooo very deep. However I will not be fishing about in them because being a 30 year old guy I will be paying my own way not relying on handouts.

Thanks for the positive encouraging comments Ralpha BA and DH-110.

So,you get what I said?this guys are very worried about your finances...matter of a fact,they are online,24/7,telling people off for trying to get on the flight training ladder!

Once you get the airline job,you'll know what I meant by "the ones who spend their time moaning and checking the hot hostie that they'll never nail",trust me on that one lol.It is called,frustration...

anyway,got a friend who trained at Cabair integrated,did the USA option,enjoyed,very good feedback.He's with me at BA(A320/21/19)..

go for it and good luck

p.s-recession,bank crisis,large loans and risk assesments-is up to you,you know how hard was to get,you know the risks,you have access to infos,you are free to walk into cranebank and ask a training capt the questions,or a bank manager on your risk,your problem,YOUR CHOICE,good luck

Bollocks

I call Bollocks on someone from the integrated USA option working for BA. Nice try though, Rapha_BA. However, I highly recomend the USA option for inegrated. Good choice UKdy!

Where were you educated? Your messages really are written badly. There is a gap after punctuation, if nothing else please write correctly.

Anyone having to call themselves BA clearly has no chance of "nailing" the hot hostie anyway, a bit of a self image problem Ralph BA? How's your socks and sandals outfit these days?

After Willie Walsh's recent pleading letter to crew, remember LIFO......it's not such a safe position that you are in now. So before telling people to spend their life savings in what is an increasingly difficult market do us all a favour and engage brain first!

Oh yes I forget to mention, Cabair Integrated has only been in the USA for about 4 months and only up to PT3.

How is your friend working at BA now? He won't have completed his IR yet..........or do you mean he trained in Spain?

Whichever Ralph_BA, you are worrying me! Is it your geography or hearing that is flawed? You fly A320.........hmmmmmm!

Rapha-BA,

I am now rather cagey about getting on the BA 'Bus, if you are in the crew. So much anger, so little patience! Are you like this when the captain asks you to do something you don't want to? When ATC don't give you the routing you want? With a customer who asks you to go out of your way a little?

I agree it was a bit mean spirited of some to come on this thread and rain on the guys parade. I'm sure he knows the score, although I would question your prediction of jobs in 2012. Personally I think it will be 2015 before we see large scale recruitment of low hour wannabes but that is another topic.

If you are a pilot, chill out before word gets back to the chief pilot about your attitude. If your not, why pretend to be? There is no shame in not being a BA pilot. Lots of people aren't.

Ralph did suggest checking his posts.

An oblique and possibly egregious way of letting you know he's actually another wannabee chasing down any possible cadetship, anywhere.

Yes but this may have mislead some people. I mean what kind of person counts 20, 21, 19?
