Repetitively asked questions, particularly about employment prospects in particular countries and/or working for particular companies, don't always produce repetitive answers because things change over the years. (A recent question about Gulf Helicopters is a good example. )

Unless another member has already done so, I post a link to the relevant thread.

I regularly merge threads on the same topic but, particularly where questions are about job prospects/working conditions in specific countries or companies, I don't merge a new thread with the 'reference thread' until members have had an opportunity to bring us up to date with the current situation.



As bluestack has pointed out, we've had an index to Frequently Asked Questions [Training and Job Prospects] since March 2003.
The index is constantly updated, and contains links to threads containing information on job prospects and working conditions in many countries as well as purely training.
When someone asks a training question, I post a link to the index thread - unless another member has done so already.

The Search function usually works quite well. There's a choice of 'Search entire posts' or 'Search titles only'.
The default is 'entire posts', but I find it's better to start by searching for a keyword or key words in 'titles only' for the main threads, and then 'entire posts' for threads where the topic you want is mentioned as part of a wider discussion.
