The question is, "where do you stand with regard to UK employment law when you start the slippery ATPL path?"
Okay let's take my case
British
29, made redundant
no dependencies
no council tax
no mortgage
starting ATPLs soon full-time so availability work is not great
Do I need to register unemployment? Well technically yes but it seems the system now encourages you not to if you cannot work! You have to sign and see someone every 2 weeks. Income-assessed dole money? Not eligible due to in part that redundancy cheque.
What are your experiences and where do we legally stand within the system?
Anyway all I want is a UB40 type card to get discounts
Doubt I shall get a student card from the FTO. Perhaps those studying ATPLs should have their own "branch" of the National Union of Students?
