Thank you for the tip Heathrow Director. Will do that myself.
Whoah thar!
What might have been a good idea a few decades ago isn't a good one now, I'm afraid, at least during the recruitment process. Unless you give the impression at every stage of selection and training that you will be deliriously happy to go wheresoever the company may post you, then you could be storing trouble up for yourself. Wait until you have passed your courses, and then put your request in.
Whilst on this theme, does anyone else think that in order to avoid having disgruntled employees at opposite ends of the country to where they wanted to be, that NATS airports could recruit trainees locally, leaving area to recruit nationally? Just an idea.
