Share accomodations???
I have my assessment at EMA on the 8th of July. Would anyone be interested in sharing accomodations or transportation from MAN? PM if interested. Thanks. Also does anyone have any up to date interview information?

You should appreciate that FR are offering unpaid leave to pilots and will be grounding at least 20 aeroplanes this winter. They already have too many pilots, particularly FO's. Don't expect to the be offered employment after your TR course, particularly as the downturn bites ever harder.
Still wanna pay 30k on a still-born dream that is set to collide rapidly with reality in a very bruising manner?

Ema 30th June - Cae Ams 14th July
WBRYCE-MINT79: Yep, me too. What are you guys doing about accom in ams? I've contacted a few B&B's on the list who have availability but it could be worth considering a short term lease on a shared house together? Cheers Dan

The same unpaid leave was offered last year too, make of that what you will.
There won't be jobs there come the winter.
So, you ask, why recruitment still? Because it's a profit centre. Charge a premium for the TR, pay em $hit on contract, then can terminate the contract at any time. Which will happen in the winter.
Unfortunately by that stage your problems will be twofold: a) not enough hours to go elsewhere and b) nowhere to go as plenty of others will go bust next winter, leading to less jobs and more experienced pilots on the market bringing us back to problem (a).
Proceed at your own risk, cos the risk sure ain't ryanairs.

Virg,
you were very fortunate, last year LST to base chk was 7 weeks + for many including myself, all without pay of course.
However, after 10 months on line, over 700 hours on type, a local base which gets me home every night, I cant complain too much and am just happy to be reasonably busy for now.
Lots of low hour mates left for a better life at Easy, Globespan, Jet2 etc and are having second thoughts, the grass is not totally green anywhere!!!

Hi Guys,
I have a question about the documents you have to take to the interview. It says two written personal references to be taken to the interview. Does this mean that you take the address and contact details of the referee to them, or a complete written speal about how good I am and blah blah from each referee.
Cheers Guys, btw anyone going on the 3rd July??
