Hi,

Am not going to slag off Bond, nor promote them. I did NOT get accepted for the TR and the reason is simple. My performance was not up to standard.

The only thing I will mention is that when they send out the details about the assessment day, they stress that they are not testing your ability to Fly the B737. This is a bit misleading. Everybody else there had at least an hour or two practice on the B737. The instructor was annoyed when I asked how to position my seat. You will be expected to do basic IR stuff, but when not familiar with an airplane may be difficult.

AS I said, I am not slagging off Bond. I just recommend that if you have not flown the B737 ( MCC or otherwise ) spent that extra cash for an hour in the sim with an instructor before going.

I am flying A320 with a good airline, so hold no grudge. Astreaus / Bond is supposed to be good.

Best of Luck
