HELP FOR THE SIM RIDE !
DEAR CHAPS AND CHAPESSES
FIRST OF ALL ENTER THE BUILDING WITH A SMILE AND FRIENDLY ATTITUDE, FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. I INTRODUCED MYSELF TO THE VERY NICE LADIES ON THE DESK AT CRANEBANK AND MADE PLEASANT CONVERSATION WITH THEM TO BE TOLD THAT MY SIM INSTRUCTOR WAS SAT DIRECTLY BEHIND ME, YOU NEVER KNOW EVEN WALLS HAVE EARS ! SO BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU SAY AND HOW YOU SAY IT !
THE BRIEFING PACK YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD BY NOW SO LEARN THE NUMBERS ! YOU'LL BE TAKEN TO A BRIEFING ROOM AND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT IN A BRIEFING ROOM YOU WILL GET FULLY BRIEFED ON THE DETAIL, ASK ANY QUESTIONS ON AREAS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ANY DOUBT OVER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY LISTEN CAREFULLY TO WHAT IS SAID. BE CONFIDENT, NOT TOO MUCH THOUGH AND MAKE CONVERSTION IF YOU GAUGE THE NEED FOR IT ON THE WAY TO THE SIM. BE POSITIVE IT IS NOT AN IR TEST. RELAX AS MUCH AS POSIBLE. I GOT GIVEN A CHOICE OF MAN OR BHX DEPT AND ARRIVALS MAY BE DIFFERENT ON THE DAY, BUT CHOOSE THE AIRFIELD THAT YOU ARE MOST FAMILIAR WITH. YOU ALL CAN FLY, THE BAC1-11 SIM WAS A LITTLE TWITCHY BUT DONT WORRY IT IS TWITCHY FOR EVERYONE, JUST RELAX AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR OWN ABILITY TO HANDLE THE THING. ONE POINT, IN MY BRIEF I GOT TOLD THAT WE WILL LOOK AT A HOLD ENTRY WHICH IS DIFFERENT TO LOOKING AT A HOLD SO BRUSH UP ON YOUR TYPE OF ENTRY AND REMEMBER DRIFT, I FORGOT BUT STILL PASSED. IF SUCCESFUL GREAT IVE FOUND THE COMPANY A PLEASURE TO WORK FOR WITH SOME VERY NICE AND HELPFUL PEOPLE AND I AM ENJOYING THE 145, I JOINED WITH TP TIME AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE JET, HOWEVER IF UNSUCCESFUL DONT WORRY, DONT BE BITER OR DOWN HEARTED, ANALYSE YOUR ENTIRE PERFORMANCE AND LOOK TO SEE WHERE YOU CAN IMPROVE WHEN YOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY ARISES. ABOUT PAYING FOR SIMS PRIOR TO THE CHECK, WELL MY ATTITUDE WAS THAT IVE PAID ENOUGH OUT SO FAR IN THIS INDUSTRY TO PROGRESS, GRANTED IT DOES HELP SOME PEOPLE BUT I DIDNT BOTHER. IF YOU CHOOSE TO AS MENTIONED EARLIER STEAM DRIVEN ONES ARE THE ONES TO GO FOR WITH CLOCKS AND DIALS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND I HOPE YOUR SUCCESFUL, IF NOT KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND YOU'LL FIND YOUR SKIN WILL GET A LAYER THICKER READY FOR THE NEXT EPISODE.
