S-I, sorry to hear about the breakup mate. Going away for this long won't be easy on any of us, let alone the friends/family/girlfriends we're leaving behind.

I'm booked to stay at the Dale Farm House, as it's not far from the pilgrim and only 5 mins walk from CTC in the morning. Also, at £35 a night it's not bad either.

I sense a CP42 tradition of pink polo shirts in the offing....?

Sorry to hear that Squawk. Just consider that if the relationship couldn't survive even the thought of you moving out to New Zealand for a while then it probably wasn't meant to last anyway, and better now than half way through your course! At least now you can go out there a single and worry free prospective pilot and enjoy flirting with the natives guilt free!

My GF actually had a year out in the south of France last year as part of her Uni degree, so now it's payback time .

In fact that reminds me, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES drink the Guiness in NZ. Just don't do it.

Mine's an Export Gold - sweet as! There's a load of websites with photos etc. taken during training that CTC applicants might find useful/inspirational/interesting/none of the above but nice to look at regardless..

The Shirt

Sorry lads, haven't had time to get the pink shirt (it's not something I would normally own!!)... going on holiday today and getting back on the 27th so its looking unlikely!

Maybe when we're out on the beers in Hamilton I'll wear one.

This has sort of become a CP42 thread now... looking forward to meeting you all

Have fun out there.

Hey there all
Could anyone shed some light on the pahse 3 interview, I know its a good thing to know a thing or two about the airlines involved, but when the subject comes up in the interview, is it in the form of "What do you think of XXXX's Business model" and "what sort of aircraft to YYYY fly?" i.e. asking you for snippets of information on a particular airline, or is it in the form of "What can you tell us about XXXX?" so you end up reciting everything you have learned (or can at least remember!)? I'm not bothered either way, I'm just interested to know, as probably are several other budding stage 3ers!

By the way, anyone who has stage 2 coming up and wishes to ask questions I'm more than happy to give my take on it

There was nothing as in depth as tell us about X airlines business model. The question's they asked me relating to their airline partners were:

Can u name the airlines with which we have links?

Is there one particular airline with which you would like to be placed, why is this? (I said Thomsonfly)

We have especially good links with Easyjet, what are the difference's between Easyjet's operation and that of Thomsonfly?


I'm not saying they'll ask you this specifically as every interview isn't the same as the last but I hope this helps

Pink Shirts...

So the CP42 uniform is pink shirts and chinos.... Who needs epaulets and a hat these days?

See you all in the 28th, with my pink shirt, chinos.....and aviators!

Have fun out in the tron cp42... speak to Cat in the Bank, she makes some weird and occasionally wonderful shots When you get bored of Coyote and the Outback, head north to Globe in Auckland-great fun, and whatever you do dont ever, ever, go to Monkey Feather in Hamilton And enjoy the kiwi summer... long days of atpl study on Raglan/Tauranga beach....tricky.

Stage 2 Assessment

Hi there,
I'm booked in for stage 2 on the 29th. I'll be driving down from Leeds on the 28th and staying in the Travel Lodge in Bournemouth (£26). If anyone needs a lift down from somewhere along the M1, or if anyone else booked on the 29th wants to meet up for a lemonade on the evening before, send me a PM.
