Advice for my husband-to-be for Speedbird Academy
Hello all. I am seeking advice on behalf of my 36 year old husband-to-be. He doesn't know I have posted this.
His passion for all things aviation is infectious and he couldn't be more passionate about the idea of being a pilot. His love of aviation is ingrained in him.
He thought that his age precludes him from becoming a pilot (he didn't want to be 'the old man') but after a recent flight to Lanzarote he got chatting with the two captains who encouraged him to apply. Now, I can see the idea in his mind although he is cautious about the idea, I think, because he doesn't want to be crushed.
He had the chance to join a company when he was younger (maybe Easyjet?). He'd sat some physics and other tests and the Head of the airline spoke with his mum asking her to try and find the funds but they couldn't (my husband is Greek and this was around the time of the 2010 economic collapse). It still makes him sad to think of the 'what if'.
The reason for my post is... Does anyone have any guidance for the Speedbird application process? I want to support him in achieving his dreams as best I can and am looking for guidance, preferably from those who have been successful at interview, the program etc.
He is worried about getting his hopes up so I want to doubly support him!
Thanks in advance for any advice etc. anyone is able to offer!
