I live 20mins from work and I almost fell asleep on the way home one night. That bad, I stopped in a Sainsburys car park not more than 5mins from my flat for a sleep!!!
Do you have friends or family that live nearer the airport that you could stay with? If not, go to the interview and discuss the distance. They know where you live as they sent you an application form, so it can’t be that big an issue for them. If you’re in the position to move away from home, ask if they know of current employees that house share, or if anyone has a spare room – you never know!
Heck, if you don’t get the job, you at least got an interview and tried
Best of luck.
Thanks for the advice.
Come to think of it, I do have close relatives who live about 10 minutes from EMA, I could discuss something with them maybe. Not sure.
Meanwhile, I'm sending an application to both LBA and Jet2 this week for positions advertised there.
