At the risk of going off the subject.. .. .I went to one of the early pilot assist college open days. There was a lovely SFO from GO who was talking about training and the way GO select their pilot peeps.. .. .She said that the best thing to do before even paying for the Class 1 is to do the Morrisby/GAPAN test to see if you have what it takes. That way you (potentially) don't waste upto 18 months of your life and hard cash doing something you may only get a job in if you were the last pilot on earth - ok maybe thats a bit harsh.. .. .However, when i was up at the BE/Cabair FI sponsorship tests last week the modualr training manager Paul, said that the morrisby test were to see if you were capable of doing the ATPL theory in the first place.. .. .Paul also stated that he talks to fleet managers on a weekly basis. They all say they are desperate for pilots but the same old story about bean counters keeping the beans in their little leather pouches comes out. He also says that 'this is the best time, for young guys, like you, to train'. .. .Anyway thats four pence worth now. So still confused and still aiming for that job.
