Hello all,
I have just been offered a job as FO on an A320 for Aer Lingus.
I applied back in december and got a surprise phone call about 2 weeks ago and after 3 trips to Dublin and over £1000 of flight costs I got offered the job.
I originally graduated from an OAA integrated course back in 2009. However since then I have been volunteering at a private charter company flying twin pistons and flying a C172 on traffic survey! I have 400TT and no type rating.
OAA did not help me one bit to get this job. I did it all myself.
No everyone that graduates from OAA thinks they will go straight into a jet, some of us work really hard doing whatever we can to get our first job.
