Well done Harby!!!

All the advice so far is sound.

There is one other thing worth bearing in mind though. Since Sept 11th (2 years ago!) it has become increasingly difficult to get a US Visa and an airport ID. Both of which you will need as part of the job! A top tip is to make sure you can proove where you have been (working, living etc) for the last.....I think it's 5 years. If not 5 then certainly 3 years.

Judging by youe posts you can't wait to get out on the line and get flying. If that is the case then this is more important than ever. Last year there were initials who got through the course and were all ready to fly but couldn't get an ID or Visa for love nor money! It took as long as 3 months plus for some of them to eventually appear on line. As for the Visa situation, some of them still haven't got them now!

It might be worth contacting your previous employers (if you can) and telling them that they will be contacted by the BAA regarding your security ID. Stress to them that a speedy response is vital to you getting the job.

If you can't then just something to bear in mind!!

Good luck with the training and look forward to having a beer downroute with you soon!

Cheers
