Keep in touch with the CP on a weekly basis - go make him coffee if thats what it will take. He is a good guy and wont mess you around - if he thinks you will fit in then he will tell you to hang around till hiring time which can be from 1 day to 1 year. I phoned him on the Wednesday and was told "no job" and then on the Thursday morning was called for an interview. Brilliant company and they WILL teach you to fly, the words "trap daaie blerrie rudders" still rings in my ears!!!! Believe me once you been there flying an ILS is a piece of old tackie. Try flying the equivalent of an ILS for 5 hours a day and see how good you get. Only operating 208s and 406s now, a turbine rating is not essential as they will train you as well.All the time you get there will be P1 as well and the night hours are a bonus as well.
P.S. Nols likes a good bottle of red wine as well.... but he isn't the CP; though it wouldn't hurt to take him some.
Best of luck - its worth the effort to start there.
