Who wants to crab a lift?
Allright all,
I'm off to the seminar ont 23rd and live in Chorley, lancs so if there's anyone from the lancs/manchester area who wants a lift down feel free to PM me and ask as its a long drag for us northerners.
Obviously busty girls will have preference over blokes but this good deed may just get me through the pearly gates one day.

Hi Hamrah,
Thanks for taking the time to organize this (and also to anyone else behind the scenes). I reserved places a while ago but this is the first opportunity I've had to get online.
Regarding
Would it be possible to get some airline bods who are directly involved with the selection processes, so we can find out just what they are looking for when they pick up our CVs, and what aspects of our previous lives they're interested in etc. I'd like to suggest inviting Phil Brockwell from CentreLineAir (he seems to be a willing pprune contributor) and perhaps another from a larger, multi-pilot jet operator. Even if these people would be prepared to come along and chat directly to indivduals if presentation time is limited.
Looking forward to the day

There is still a few who think they only have to say "put my name down." That is NOT the way it works. YOU get your your name on the list when I receive your cheque for £25, which is refundable, unless you don't turn up, and then I put you on the list. Please read page one for all the details.
As for spaces available, they are filling up and I cannot accept more than another 13 - which takes us up to 60.
This has always been first come first served and if you want a place the choice is up to you. No cheque no place reserved.
This a free seminar being paid for out of the PPRuNe Fund and, therefore, you will get your cheque back when you arrive. Remember this is a great opportunity to hear about the airline industry from prople who know.

Me Please!
I know that you can't confirm my place until you get my cheque, I just hope that the BFPO system that is delivering it from the Gulf gets it there in time! Would appreciate some info about sim checks, and writing that all important CV that makes mine stand out from the rest. Cheers - looking forward to it.

THERE ARE NOW ONLY 7 PLACES LEFT! - SEVEN.
The first cheques in after the last name on the list will get them. I cannot increase the numbers, having done it once already - I have tried.

Now only TWO! Those who have applied may have chqs in the post OR about to send. The first 2 chqs I receive from Monday will be the lucky ones. 
I rx'd 4 cheques this morning and have updated the list of those who have a place booked. If your name is ON there you are in if it is NOT you have missed out. When the available places have gone I will start a short standby list of FIVE - who I will notify if a places become available.

Don't worry SF it was a small office error - well that's my excuse. Anyway you are in.
That is the 60 but I will add standbys up to 5 people. They will fill any given up places.
Thanks for your interest. The list is now closed.

Cheque
Did my cheque ever turn up that I sent back in early July? I was reluctant to send another but I put another one in the post yesterday when I noticed there were only two places left. It's obviously too late now but I'll hold out for a standby place if I may, damn royal mail!

ZW, I did get your cheque on Friday but I am afraid you were too late. I have added your name to the wait list of FIVE only.
The list so far:
Zulu Whiskey
Fluffycloud
User 737

Seminar in Surrey
Sounds great, but what about holding a similar seminar for us who are 'up north'!? - there can be many problems associted with getting to Surrey (and staying overnight) not least finance for the student pilot making his own way to the ATPL's out of his/her own pocket?

Let me get this straight: Pprune puts on a seminar to help you. There is no charge, just a returnable deposit to ensure you don't book and then don't turn up. It's presented by people who give up their spare time to help you for no reward. They are also travelling from all over the place at their own expense, and funding their own accommodation. But that's not good enough? Jeez...!
