I think as always pprune radar sums it up perfectly.
For my two pence worth I think that threads like these give almost too much away. I passed my tests first time round a few years ago. When I applied I'd never heard of pprune and just did a bit of research off my own back but didn't really know what to expect.
The bottom line is, if you can do the job the you will get in and validate eventually, if you can't you won't - simple as that.
This job is great- I love every day. What makes it great is the sheer profesionalism of my colleagues and the pilots (most of them anyway
).
Trainees with a bad attitude will not validate at a unit- rightly or wrongly they will get chopped- you may want to bear that in mind.
To all other applicants - good luck
