FLYER Professional Flight Training Show, 4th Nov '06
So who's going?
There will be more airlines there this time so worth popping a few questions at them that go unanswered here.

Hi all,
I will be making the trip up to Heathrow from Paris. Should be worth it, i really need to get some questions answered. The PPRUNE forums are mind blowing with all the different opinions and approaches. I have one approach i wish to follow want to see what the professionals think. I hope to that i come out of the exhibition on saturday with a little bit of a clearer vision of everything.
Thanks
Franks

Im sure you will be shattered, kinda glad its at heathrow. If you work in the industy. You get a discount on the heathrow express, 50% i think if i remember. I will be shattered too working till 10pm Fri night then back on a plane the following morning at 8am to get to heathrow. Will try to rap everything up by the afternoon after all the seminars so i can get back to paris early.
What experience is everyone going with???
If anyone fancies meeting up, send me a private message. Be cool to know what other people are thinking of doing!!

The Flyer exhibition back in '03 is where i started and never looked back. Its a fantastic set up, allows you to meet the schools an traning orgs. Make contacts, get all the details you can, go with questions to ask, these will help you make up your mind as to which route to take and where to go. Sit in the lecture sessions and listen to what airline reps want!! And before you know it you will be in the RHS at 0600 with the rain poring outside just about to get airborne into the sunshine for the next 8 hrs or so!

Would be very much appreciated, cheers.

The airlines weren't massively visible and the seminar room was a lot smaller this time around. More FTOs though and spread over two rooms so on balance better.
I just like to add Malaga claim to get a lot of European particularly UK students take the IR though them. So which airlines do not take on people with "johnny foreigner" IRs eh?

Was a good day, quite useful. They had 3 seminars on funding, the class 1 medical and tips on interviews, CVs & applications. They were pretty packed out, and the only seminar that I didn't find a whole lot useful was (surprisingly) on funding - basically his message was "don't look at sponsorship - they don't do it anymore as they used to, raise the money yourself and then go for it".
The Guild of Air Pilots & Navigators there advised you to go take the aptitude tests at Cranwell. I'm thinking of going for it, it costs £175, anyone else thinking of having a go?
Also managed a bit of plane spotting when I had an hour free between seminars.. was great!
