A word of warning to you newbies! You have an exam on your first day. If you fail that, you're out!! Its on airport codes, so make sure you learn them thoroughly. You will be sent a pre course work book and it is vital that you read it and complete it. They try and catch everyone out on the first day. so this is a little tip for you!! You will enjoy it immensely. You will have to be prepared to put up with a lot of slagging from other aircrews ( uniform, etc) but we get paid more than them, and we have more fun. All the groundstaff I have spoken to at LGW, can't get over how friendly the EZY crews are!! That says something.
