Dress standard
Truckmasters,
You will need to dress up for the sims.
Basically BAE is divided into 2 areas. The "flying side of the road" where all the flying, simulator, ground school, lectures etc take place. It is when you are on the flying side that you have to be in uniform (dark blue trousers, white shirt, epaulettes, tie etc).
Once you cross the road, where the mess hall and student accomodation are, here you can be dressed casually.
They will tell you on day one during the induction that when you are on the flying side of the road you should be in uniform during normal business working hours (8am till 5pm).
Like Silberfuchs said, try and enjoy yourself, the workload will pick up in HK. If you've never been to Oz before, go out and see one of the "open plain" zoo's where you can feed Kangaroos and Koala's, or better still, go the winery tour, it's well worth it.
trying to rack my brain...
one of the best pubs is down in "Glenelg" (1hr on train) called "The Grand". it\'s right on the waterfront and a great "View" in the warmer months.
In the centre of town there are various nightclubs and pubs.
Best to ask the instructors when you\'re there, they gave us the tips.
have a great time.
