Hey folks!

Seem to be giving out a lot of advice regarding the BA interview but no one is willing to give me any advice on any accomadation or even a paper i can get for this area.

I'm desparate!

stu

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.

www.findaproperty.co.uk

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

have fun!

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

Hi!

I just got a house share in Hayes for the duration of the course. Will call 2m to see if they can fit you in!

If you get really stuck, there's always the floor!

kempus

Kempus: you desert TCX so soon??? Pity, we need crew like you.

Good luck anyway.

hi!

the option to stay on was not there. had a fantastic time and been asked back next year so who knows what might happen!!??!!

maybe the london life will be too much!

all the best to all those at TCX tho! wonderful bunch of people!


kempus

thanx for that kempus,was just wondering is hayes far from our training and are you taking your car down with you?
Hav just sold my car before i knew about all this and need to use public transport till i get a new one!
looking forward to meeting everyone,b in touch xx

Hi All,

Starting course 4 December and will be looking for accom for the 5weeks also. There are two of us who would hopefully like to have a short term let or if anyone could recomend and B and B that would be great

Hi!

Will be taking my car! If i can get you a room could share the travelling on the way down??

Missy b, the room i have is up till the 12th but curious why you starting on a tuesday? PM me!

Stu

missy b,

sorry, meant a thursday!

stu

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

M

Just a small topic to chat with anyone on the 24th Nov course at cranebank?

I'm trying to get a group of crew together for a crew house share near Gatwick / Brighton!

If you have any advice, info or if you have a house that needs letting to mature crew, please post a reply!

Regards

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

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 there,

Just been offered LGW LH course, December, subject to change. I hope that the change is very unlikely as I will be commuting from the regions.

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.

M

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!
