A word of advice that one of my primary school teachers gave me when I was six; “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” If you just want to wind people up, give Jet Blast a try.

Everyone Else
I have been to both previous seminar sessions, and I can’t wait to get to the third one. Why? I get to chat to (and pick up invaluable advice from) current airline pilots, up to & including an ex chief pilot of Go. I’ve had advice on CVs, interview techniques, sim tests, modular v integrated ATPLs, etc etc. Other people attending have had everything from zero hours right through to 3000hrs+, and they’ve all had something useful to contribute.

I am but a humble student pilot who drives an equally humble C152, but thanks to these seminars, I’m on first name terms with several airline captains & FOs, an ATC manager & a retired airline owner. And I can even keep up with them for the first few rounds. As a direct result of the seminars, I’ve been lucky enough to have a visit to LATCC & Heathrow tower – something I wouldn’t have dreamed of 18 months ago.

In short, £20 is a bit of a gift –I’d recommend it to anyone.
