Accommodation at LGW URGENT
 

Hello All.

Does anyone know the name of the hotel closest to the training centre at Gatwick . On the map given it says hotel , would like to book in there as my accomodation has fallen through.:(

It looks really close to the training area ideal for me as I wont have a car

jurys inn, i think they offer a ba discount its abot £70 a night.

its about a 5 min walk to crainbank

Is basic salary provided while in training?

yea but its not very much abut £700 after tax

new courses for EFLHR
 

Hello guys

Congrats to the ones who have just finished their courses and good luck to the ones who are starting theirs.
Im one of the ones in the holding pool and i was trying to figure out roughly when will be offered a course. As i see from here the last course offered for temp WW is on the 17th December so that course will end towards the end of january. Does that mean we will be offered courses on February? What do you think? Any rough ideas?

Thanks and happy flying!

Will we temps be trained on all three aircraft types: B747, 767 and 777?

Yes it's all Long Haul Aircraft.

The Waiting Game
 

:ugh: Hi

I was wondering is there anyone who attended an interview on the 5th Oct for the 8.30 session it would be great to hear from you.

I am so anxious now I hate the waiting around for that all important email.:eek:

Hope to hear from one of you soon PM me

apparently they call you and apparently it happens 2 days later to tell you have gone through

or they dont tell you anything and you have to wait, like me :ugh::ugh::ugh:

haha how lame i went out in my garden to smoke one and look at the planes (yes I live under the path of 75% if not 100% of the outbound LHR traffic)

seeing them is nice... hearing them is less nice!

Hi teacoffee
 

My suggestion is your ring up BA Recruitment and ask them if you could change to LHR WW temp. You have nothing to lose by asking them. In the worst case scenario you would still be in the hold pool for LHREF.

Give it a go and Good luck!!


DAWN :)

Holding Pool to WW Temp
 

Hi ya, I called them about 3 days ago to do the same but apparently we're too late now. We should have called by the closing date for applications which was weeks ago. There are people who did it but they rung at the beginning of the campaign unfortunately. So I guess it's the waiting game again... On the flip side, if we had gone for the temp WW, that would have been it, we wouldn't be allowed to go back to the holding pool for EF at the end of it. I hope the saying "good things come to those who wait" is true!!!!

how long?
 

yeah but...

how long are we gonna have to wait? apparently there are temp WW courses running til the end of january, so does that mean we will get a course by february? any ideas?

Dmed

I got the dreaded email, I didn't go through :(

DMED, I am in the same position as you, in the hold pool for LHR EF. Its really frustrating isn't it? but no-one on here can answer your question, even those that like to think they have the answers! ba will contact us if and when they need us and until then it's a waiting game. we can second guess all we like but the truth is, no one knows (maybe not even ba at this point!) wish it weren't so but it is.

LHR Accommodation BA Training
 

Hi
Have my training course with BA in Dec. Looking for somewhere comfortable near Cranebank Training Centre. Can anyone recommend anywhere?

Thanks

Hi Sorry to change the subject I have just been accepted for WW LHR which I am very happy about but no training course date as yet............anybody got any ideas as to when the next one may be held?

I'm starting WW on 17th December. Anyone else starting then too? Will be relocating from Scotland for the training anyone know of any rooms going that I could rent?

Happy, a lot people waiting in the holding pool for Euro Fleet have been told that they should get course dates for April. In the meantime, they have around 280 WW temps to get through training by then. Most of the temps are to be transfered internally (from what I've read on here) and the order in which they are transfered will depend on operational issues. My guess is that external temps will be slotted in where there are vacancies, which could be courses from January through to April. What actually happens is another thing, though.
