Couldn't possibly tell you that! Not one of the 'obvious' candidates.

Expedite,

Interesting I work for an insurance company as well, and we have a huge call centre ;-) maybe your just around the corner from my desk???? :} Who knows...

Again, I am working for an Insurance company as well doing case management for the International assistance call centre cases.

Not alot of money but again pays the bills and the loan for flying and uni.

I am a global sourcing manager for a large retail company.

Still waiting for that dream to become a reality!

Answering questions like this is a dangerous game when I haven't chosen a nickname.

Not currently training but working hard as a truck driver in order to raise money to start my modular training...

It's a long road but definitely worth it!!!:ok:

Working as a legal secretary in London (big sigh) - :rolleyes:. Starting my CPL at Biggin Hill in the next couple of weeks..... Can't wait!!!

mlee 19th Aug 2007 17:27

Wodka - You mean you work in a Chemist? ;)

Not training yet but I am saving for a 0-fATPL in the states, I am a web designer/developer. Might go into contacting next year to raise the funds a little quicker.

L A James 19th Aug 2007 19:45

Little concerned that Wodka isn't joking....!

grababadger 19th Aug 2007 20:12

Aircraft Engineer. Just starting initial training, will ironically pay less as a pilot-but maybe give me more job satisfaction.

Pilot_in_the_making 20th Aug 2007 04:38

Similar situation to grababadger. Aircraft engineer with a major airline, got a PPL, doing my ATPLs distance learning, and pulling my hair out because I just can't get the MET to sink in (struggled with it at PPL level too).

Flying to build up my hours on my days off and in between studying, it's the only thing that is keeping me sane at the moment, along with the dream of being paid to do somthing I love.

Oh well, back to the MET. If I keep plugging away at it I'll get there eventually. :hmm:
