Irish Steve and Older_Wiser
Thanks a lot for that very detailed info. Obviously Irish Steve you have worked at Dublin and I appreciate your input on this.
It sounds DANGEROUS!!! I am used to being around ac, but only small ga ones like at Weston. I am always careful, but it is easy for things to go wrong. I hope the quality of training will be enough to make sure I don't f**K up. They did tell me that the little trucks, steps etc were tricky to handle and that the ramp was VERY slippy. I hope it will go well. It is only 3 shifts a week at present, with maybe more hours to follow, but I think this is only on a temp basis anyway to cater for the Xmas rush.
I am not there to make contacts, just to earn a pitance while I finish my ATPLs.....of which I will mention as little as possible...thanks for the heads up on that one. I will try however to make it worthwhile and to learn as much as possible...can't do ant harm.
Older Wiser, this is a handling agent which caters for I think 20 odd airlines, and they do have a high staff turnover.
Anyhow, I will do the best I can, and if it works out I will stay and work as much and for as long as possible during the remainder of my flying training.
Thank you very much for your input, I REALLY appreciate it.
