Cheers Gary!! and yes it is me lol! No there wasn't anyone from our phase 2 there at my interview day! They were all pretty sound fellas but so I can't complain. Is there anyone that can give me advice on the best place to stay when I go to Nursling? I so excited about going to it but im raging I have to wait 2 and a half weeks!!!! What is the problem with obtaining the loans at the minute?

If you've got a car, i'd ask nicely to stay at Dibden Manor. It's only £45 a night and is very nice - about 15min drive to nursling.

A little update on the finance situation.
Spoke to HSBC, the reason Lynda gave me as to the uncertainty of where our bank appointments will be is down to a reveiw of the way things are done with this CTC/HSBC unsecured loan. There aren't any new "conditions" in terms of getting the loan, it's just that depending on branch the loan is done at, the application either goes away for approval or gets accepted straight away. Lynda said that you may be asked for a contingency plan, which is really to expected anyway.

Anyone going to phase 2/3 in 21. May? I arrive to London on 20th, and will probably catch a bus to Bournemouth. But if someone is travelling London -> Bournemouth on 20th by car, pm me and let's share a ride & gas expenses
Same on 21th back to London!

Wellll..... the downside is I'm cruising the prune instead of learning airline facts/figures, however Pprune is all aviation related to it can't be that bad!

Just started to read this actually, interesting stuff..

You've got to take a break every now and then otherwise your brain will frazzle. Interesting stuff is the environmental affects of pollution.... rather difficult to find real figures on it though.

Well, see you next week then! You'll propably recognize me.. se only German attending, that's for sure

Hear, hear! Same problem. But then I don't think (hope) that knowing easyjet fleet statistics or something like that is going to be the deciding factor for the interview. Although at OAT/Netjets Stage 2 I was asked what the max range of a Hawker 400 is... let's call it "educated guessing" under pressure *LOL*

Good luck to you anyway!

Even if you don't think it would matter why take the risk? There were many items I learnt about that had a possibility of coming up just because I was so determined to get through and I didn't want to leave anything to chance. I learnt all 8 airlines fleets, a few destinations, a few hubs, their histories and future plans. I was asked about easyjets fleet and future plans... the fact that I knew what they were, I feel, earned me a fair few brownie points because it shows I have the initive to go out there and make sure I am FULLY prepared. This also enforces the fact that I am interested in the company and the companies CTC work with.
I also highly recommend the Grosvernor Lodge B&B, djcrossed and I stayed there for most of our selection process and were very happy with it. If you go back to baileys round about theres a very nice place to eat there and if anything, we struggled with finding somewhere to eat - didn't want an indian or a chinese.

I'm staying at the Travel Lodge. I never thought to look up statistics or other information like that. I thought they'd be asking you about you rather than facts and figures that aren't necessarily relevant.
I see though now why they would, and as soon as I am able to stop revising for my uni exams, I'll have a trawl for useful information like that...as well as preparing as many of my answers as possible.

Getting a little nervous now.
