Hi there!
congratulations on getting your contract at MAN. I'm just about to start my third summer with BY at NCL and generally it's a good company to work for! I don't know what they'll do about 1st years in terms of LH flying but there is a fair bit about this season from what we've heard, although we'll probably not see any of it up here in the frozen north (aka NCL!!).
Is your training 4 or 5 weeks? Mine seems like an age ago now so can't remeber how long I was there (did all of it at EMA), the trainers are a great bunch and they're all there to make sure you pass...so don't worry about anything!
If there's owt else you want to know just ask.
Paul
