Wannabes North West UK
 
Are there any Wannabes out there in the North West UK interested in making/maintaining contact with others going through the same process.

I am currently doing my ATPL writtens via Bristol Groundschool, and still need to complete some hour building.

My thought is that on the days when motivation wains, or when the studying gets a bind/grinds to a halt. It can be helpful to be in contact with others experiencing the same issues - and at the same time receive some mutual support.

I look forward to hearing from anybody interested in taking this forward.

EGCC4284 2nd Jan 2002 04:41

Mark, will ring you soon, maybe you could sort a night for drink with everyone who gets in touch with you.

EGDR 2nd Jan 2002 09:43

I've just finished my mod 2 with bristol and will be flying again soon in Yorkshire. If you want any tips on the groundschool etc - drop me an email.

CAP509castaway 2nd Jan 2002 20:51

If anybody would like some help on the flying side I am available to give anyone abit of help. I was at Oxford , and a current QFI.Hour building can reduce the precision of your flying( I know I have done it myself!)
Leave your e-mail address if you are interested

EX FTE 2nd Jan 2002 23:09

Good to see there are enough of us to form a support group! I have finished all the writtens (thankfully) and have got the required hours logged before starting the CPL/IR etc. Just a pity about that swine Bin Laden ruining the market!

Is one of you kiond gents going to become the Chief Pilot of this little support club and organise a beer session some night?

mark twain 3rd Jan 2002 19:47

Thank you for voluntering EX FTE, you sound ideally qualified for the job!

Seriosuly though if we send me your e-mail address maybe this is something we can get off the ground. (No pun intended).

Mr Tickle 5th Jan 2002 17:38

HomerSimpson 5th Jan 2002 17:41

I'm just finishing mod 1 with Bristol, resit exams on Monday, then hopefully straight into module 2.

Sounds like a great concept for support and bouncing ideas of one an other.

Hi guys 'n' galls

I am 3 months into my integrated course in Jerez and am just re-settling in after my two weeks back in the cold, dark North West! I have got my first phase exams in March so the pressure is on! Feel free to email me, keep in touch!

AeroBatfink 7th Jan 2002 04:00

Sound like a good idea!

I'm based in Preston; I did my PPL etc in South Africa last year, and I'm going back this year to do more qualifications and some PIC hour-building. However, I'm currently flying out of Blackpool (and soon Liverpool, hopefully), with aspirations torn between military and commercial flying. There's the intro, anyway...

Give me a shout if you're starting something up!

Hello people,

Another North Westerner here (Wirral). Currently working in a cold country in order to fund integrated course later in the year. If you're planning on meeting for a beer and sharing some thoughts or advice, drop me a mail and I'll schedule a visit home to coincide.

CW 10th Jan 2002 03:47

Best of luck to all of you Wannabes who are working so very hard to achieve your dreams. Although aviation doesn't look very promising at the moment it will recover, don't give up!!
Seems like when you do, the right job opportunity is dropped in your lap just by being at the right place at the right time.
You're all welcome at my airfield anytime, since I'm the only employee running the place from the wing down to the toilet bowl, sorry I can't offer you jobs, but you can visit! ha!
(It's the home of TWA..."Teeny Weeny Airlines", one place, one passenger)

Well ladies and gentlemen it looks like there are a fair few of us in the North West. Who's up for a pint. Being the first to put forward a venue :) might I suggest Blackpool Airport (one of the clubs there has a reasonable bar and you dont have to be a member to have a drink <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> TTFN DD

GonvilleBromhead 15th Jan 2002 13:04

Yep, another one here.

Diver, that club wouldn't be ANT would it ? Great club to fly from, learnt there on a FS quiet a few years ago. And yeah, good (small) bar there, nice people.

DiverDriver 15th Jan 2002 14:12

Gonville, I was thinking more of Comed, but ANT would be fine. DD

GonvilleBromhead 15th Jan 2002 15:02

Hell, why not try 'em both ! :)

CAP509castaway 16th Jan 2002 01:20

Why not try Barton while it is still there! :) :) :)

JustAnotherVictim 27th Jan 2002 06:59

Preston? Barton? Manchester? The Wirral?

Sorry, maybe I'm stupid, but I thought with the North West UK you would be looking for people in ,I don't know-Stornoway?

North West England maybe.

:)

blackknight 29th Jan 2002 15:28
