BAA is looking for new aircrafts to lease/rent following this incident and the development of the Ab initio department.
ATCs have summer holidays like anybody. They have hired new staff recently so they are not fully competent at the moment, that's right.
I do complain myself about the organisation but still have the feeling that it's worth the money, assuming you're in a cadet program.
The contract specified that the training takes place for a period no more than 2 years so, you already know what to except before signing.
Some people finished earlier, and that leads to the common expectation that it will be the same for them.
If you pass the selections for a cadet program, I think it is still a valuable opportunity.
The groundschool is OK, they changed the CBT recently (Bristol > PadPilot).
More informations for the new base are supposed to be released next week.
WarLock is no more an employee of BAA despite what he said. Fact.
Amazing how these 'die hard fans of the school' are opting to shut the hell up now, instead of defending the place
