Hi,

Has anyone arranged to meet up for lunch. . . or just to meet up somewhere?

Martin

Dont think anyone has arranged anything yet but I'm up for it. Looking through the thread it looks like the 3 magpies has proven to be a popular venue in the past.

What time are people getting there?

Do the doors open at 0930 or can people go in earlier?

I'm going to be there about 0800 after the 8hr bus journey! Should be fun!

Does anyone know if there is gonna be another one in the near future cos i know ther was one earlier this year.

I might not be able to get to london tommorrow so could anyone please tell me if theres a date for the next one yet???

It would appear that I have a presentation to make.

Better make it interesting , I suppose.

See you there.

Did anyone go to the Air atlantic presentation in the afternoon? If so any info on the talk would be appreciated as I was unable to make it.

Many thanks

If anyone managed to make it to the British Airways presentation - I'd appreciate it if you could share any information.

I didn't manage to make it, as I was struggling to find a parking space at the hotel!!

Thanks
Martin

Mod v Integrated confusion
 

marts,

The BA talk from John Monks was along the usual lines;
What they look for - teamwork, captains for the future etc.
Min requirements;
For entry as TEP (the cadet sponsorship not currently running) - 2 A-Levels/5 GCSEs.
Self-sponsored (SSP) - Frozen ATPL from an approved INTEGRATED course. The school has to actually recommend you.
Direct Entry (DEP) - ATPL (1500hrs min) with line experience (doesn't matter where you trained)

Obviously this can change according to their needs but it doesn't look to good for wannabes keen on BA. The message seems to be go and work for EJ/Ryanair etc. then come and see us when you've got jet time.

I'm still a bit unsure why they continue to promote the 'Integrated route' only.

I thought the modular/integrated training didn't matter as long as you had a licence. The talk form Alan (?) Cooper of Britannia & BALPA didn't seem to support this view either. He said s/th along the lines of "If you can get daddy to pay for your training then go to Oxford and do integrated.."

Has anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Cheers!
