Hi Everyone,
Is anyone else starting GS in Sydney on the 25th? Ive recieved my employment pack already but no flight details or time table as of yet. Is anyone else in the same boat?
Also any tips from anyone who has finished GS on what to bring with you to GS?
Thanks!

PPRuNe and specifically this Forum are NOT, repeat NOT Social Networks (Facebook IS an example of a social network, as are MySpace and Google Plus+).
PPRuNe is intended for use by Airline employees seeking to exchange useful information and this forum exists for Wannabes to do the same.

These threads are a source of valuable information to those applying for jobs: Forcing others to have to wade through pointless and idle chatter relevant to only those involved to get at the necessary information is unfair, and a selfish act by those involved and will result in immediate sanctions being taken.

beau-tie & others starting soon,
You'll be fine! :P
Yes there is a lot of study, and it is necessary, when you get online you still won't know 1/4 of what you need to, haha, but the Emergency procedures section is important. 80% is the pass mark, but you want 100 coz really, it could save your life one day. good thing is, you can do it. The thing to remember is to get out and have a break sometimes from studying - it's not healthy to study round the clock (and not productive) buutttttt, don't be tempted to go out clubbing heaps, those who do find themselves treading a fine line and going day to day thinking 'am i gonna be cut?'. I think I had three decent nights out in the 8 weeks, so there is a little time to be free, but it's not a payed holiday - some people seem to think it is. :P
As for fitness you'll be fine, didn't see anyone fail pool day and thats the only physical day.
Best of luck! guess we'll see you guys online in a couple of months

what to bring
Hi,
you will only receive flight details a couple days before they actually send you.
For ground school bring ALL the business style clothes you own, (you will need about three weeks worth, also a pair of black flats is a plus.
Also bring some going out clothes you will probably have a couple nights on the town with the group!
Don't forget casual clothes as well, gym clothes, laptop, pens, notebook, highlighters, any particular foods you like....
Also when you fly over make sure you wear business wear, if there isn't many of you flying you will probably get upgraded to business class.
good luck, see you on board in a few weeks!
