Fonawah, thanks for the best wishes. At present I am not to sure, as they have bases for the 737 at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stanstead.

Thanks Kilo, but I am going to wait until it happens before I change that profile. Wouldn’t want to tempt fate!
PM is fully answered, hope it all helps.

Flyfish,
Excellent diary, really enjoyed reading it.
I'm also in Norfolk about 35-40 mins from Norwich Airport. Where did you do your CPL and IR training as I'm battling through the distance learning at the moment and thinking about where to do the flying courses. Any tips?

Hi Waryhawk,
I completed my CPL/IR at Stapleford as it was commuting distance for me.
(45 mins West of Norwich myself).
Having a job and a family, it was important to be able to keep working and be home each night.
Great school,I enjoyed my time there, just disappointed I didn’t get to play in the new Diamond twins they were getting just as my training was coming to an end.
There is a long thread all about Stapleford that may be worth reading if you are considering it, particularly the bit about them being busy and the need to book well in advance.
That said, of course if unlike me you do not have to worry about being away from home for months at a time, I would advise visiting a few schools to get a feel for what suits you.
Good luck wherever you choose.

Well Flyfish what a great read!!!
Thanx 4 taking the time to "bring to life" the initial few hours of your line training. I felt like I was sitting there with you!
Good luck with Flyglobespan,
