Pandora's box, i agree i am feeling sick, i was crying yesterday as i was in high hopes and the way Dalmac were talking i was guaranteed the job. I was even willing to pay that £1000 for the training. I am on the same boat as you i have to learn all drills for everyone on board, ditching, landing, hijacking, bomb, sabotage, spillage, fire drills. you name it. Its been really tough and i dont want to leave because i have no other job to go to and i dont know where to look for airport jobs as i'd rather just stick to ground staff somewhere in PIK or GLA as i really dont want office work again.
I've got my SEP manual and i was told i have to learn 6 drills for tomorrow, every word perfect for tomorrow plus a passenger evacuation drills etc for tomorrow which i know myself i cannot possibly learn all of them.
so far i've learned
1) Terminology/customer service/ marshalling/boarding
2) First aid
3) Dangerous goods
4) Fire and smoke
5)Security
6)Bomb threats/drills
7)passenger evac
I've had hardly any time to fully learn either as we'd learn i.e topic 1 one day then be expected to sit an exam the next. Bearing in mind i have to learn another topic tomorrow and incorporate everything i've learned into the initial exam on thur and im getting a test tomorrow on topic 7 tomorrow.
Is this normal practice for an airline as this is the first i've worked with?
I really dont mind the whole commuting thing to London but isn't it dodgy with delays etc? Wouldn't it cost me alot?
By the way, i just want to thank everyone for their input it really helps.
Im just wondering if i should leave or stick it out?
