Hi Flying girl, yeah i've had a few calls from them as well. 2 of my ex employers have closed down so i've had to write to inland revenue to get employment dates! gettin so excited now though, just want to get started!

[shell.darnbrough]

i got my letter about it this thursday just gone, how come? have you got that one to? xxx

[JB88]

hey can anyone give me some advice about the training do you get put up in a hotel like some other training corses?
Also for he 6 month summer contract is it strictly short haul or will a little bit of long haul be thrown in.
Any advice would be great.
xx

You don't get put in a hotel or anything, you have to make your own arrangements for accommodation. During the 6 months, you will only be on the short-haul aircraft but if you get put on the 757, you will have the opportunity to do little trips to the east coast of canada.

hey thanx for all the advice given its been really helpfull.
Something else i wanted to ask was, Im going to be relocating so im closer to Gatwick becasue im currently living in Bournemouth can anyone please give me any info at all about ertain areas which may be good to look at, thanx would be a great help. xxxx

[glider12000]

Depends what you budget is. Maidenbower, Pound Hill and Worth are fairly nice to live in. Some areas of Ifield are also nice.

Bewbush is called the Ghetto though...

[JB88]

aww thanks for that info wil have a look soon, i just wanna be somewhere with good transport links cos I dont have a car at the moment so will be quite difficult me thinks, oh the stress of moving! lol xxxx

[glider12000]

Crawley is well linked to Concorde House, Gatwick where you will need to get to. There are several 24 hour bus services, the train also runs from three bridges, crawley and Ifield stations to the airport and a taxi is about £5-6

[JB88]
