Hey Stu - dont stress! Did you get my PM?
Try looking at these sites and start contacting people. I can only offer so much advice as I am in Australia.

you need to start researching and ringing around. Thats the only way you will find somewhere.
have fun!

ba again !!
hi guys, as iam sure there are loads of people in the same boat as me and starting a training course soon i was just wondering what you are all doing for accomodation. As the training course is at cranebank and my base is lgw(or so i have been told) i need somewhere temp for the five weeks iam training.Iam getting a wee bit stressed out as i start on monday and wondering what your ideas were. Have got a uniform fitting on friday so have got the weekend to get sorted out. As a last resort i can stay with friends but perhaps b&b
Still looking forward to starting my course though and still think i made the right decision

stu,
Hi there, not sure why training starting on a Thursday, however there are now three of us who I know of starting the same day.
The only thing I can think is that it will be the run up to the xmas period and maybe training finishes on xmas eve, that would be 3 weeks. Then possibly resume after. I am going to give them a ring today.
Where will you be commuting from as I was thinking of taking my car also.
How much would I expect to pay for accom for the training as on a very tight budget

First RELAX.
We aren`t that bad at BA....
SBY`s are done at LHR so no call out time. So living 1hr 30 way from airport isn`t a problem.
Eurofleet crews live as far away as Northants, Bucks, Herts, Beds some Birmingham, Leicester, Brighton.
The six week training course can be hard work if your commuting that distance but once flying not too much of a problem.
If your worried about the £`s living on old JetLink coach network-now re-branded National Express there is a discount card available to BAA/Airline employees which costs £30 per mth or £60 per mth which allowes unlimited useage of the airport coach network.
Depends whether you want to live at the airport or not really. But can be cheaper away and nicer places to live.
Hope this helps

BA What Fleet?
Hi. Good luck to all applying. You're right about certs. No flexibility there. You MUST have them. I am interested to know what fleet everyone is getting. Know a few people who have been put on long LGW. Have heard that all courses till end of Dec will be LGW. Anyone esle know anything different? Still keep consistently hearing that WWF LHR is quite likely as well. However, at the end of the day, you get what you're given which is fine. Know plenty of crew at Euro who are more than happy there. Many of which don't even want WWF!

Hi Alan,
Starting training on the 4 Dec, strange day dont you think.
My friend and I both start same day and have managed to find a flat for the duration of the training. It is around GBP340 for themonth incl of bills ex phone.
Do you work for BA in Gla? As some guys from NCL will be starting around same date, will speak to them re accomodation and see how they got fixed up.

Guess your strange starting dates are down to the fact that Cranebank is open 7 days a week ( we often start SEP at 7-30 on a sunday (eek) - great because there is no traffic!
Good luck!
Good luck!
