Exactly that reason....to avoid the long commutes. I live in Middlewich.

As the title says really - who has drivers based in Crewe? From my own research i know of Freightline and Virgin. Anymore? Im desperate to work out of Crewe - hence the question. Thanks all

Yeah, its a difficult test without a doubt. You need that 'mechanical' mind to work them out. Atleast you know you'll be alright when its dropped.

Sorry to hear of your failings chaps. Did either of you buy any Mechanical Comp books? With regards my experience back in June, i missed out about 15questions on this test with the intention of going back at the end to randomly guess them....however, i ran out of time and the lady gave no...

Fingers crossed for you....i applied back in January....takes ages.

Just been offered a position in Manchester Picc subject to medical and references. Course starts on 16th Oct i think she said..... Thanks all

Ive passed ALL the tests and im still on hold for Manchester Pic. Not heard a sausage. Fingers crossed

Ive gone into the talent pool.....not sure what that means in terms of ever getting a job but there you go!

Absolutely mate....its dire at the minute. You work your arse off for little thanks and thats because - pilots will always undercut eachother. Theres always someone who will work for less.

Dont believe the hype. Thats off their website and when that was announced BALPA were outraged! That media spin is in relation to easyjets contract pilots. They work on a self employed, Pay as you fly contract. Its crap pay, unless you fly 5/6 days a week. No holidays. Trust me, being a...

That'll be me!! An airline pilot of 8years who is sick of working in a industry being killed by the governments APD....longer hours less pay on (becoming) badly maintained aircraft because theyre being maintained by engineers working longer hours on less pay. Im not the only one whos...

I was indeed. Flown the 300 and the 400. About 2000hrs on each. I left PLH in Dec07. Although, i have still got an apartment on Manadon Park. ;-) Ps, Fabled as a hero? Lol Pps, it takes big balls to fly a Dash into PLH on crappy day. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I did...

I did the tests last week. Judging from how they were with my answer to that question i can only assume that they wont see YOU as the person dealing with the emergency. Although YOU helped and re-organised things around the emergency you didnt actually solve it. Im guessing the paramedic would...

No. The medication is tesosterone and doesnt cause those side affects. We've all got tesosterone in us naturally.

I ask because the wording of the RGS document isnt very clear. It says youre not allowed any medical conditions, or to be taking any medication likely to cause - Blackouts Sudden incapacity Imobility etc I read it to mean - youre not allowed any medical conditions. But it could also mean -...

Ive been trying to find out whether you can still pass the driver medical if you have got/had 'mild' IBS? The CAA allowed me to fly with it and its controlled by diet. Also, i take HRT for men because my balls dont work.....although im sure that shouldnt be an issue. Im fit and healthy...

Very very true. Aviation is taxed to death nowadays and its certainly not supported by the government. For that reason pilots are working longer hours for less pay. The industry is a mess and it wont be long before the 'Buffalo' crash is repeated over here. Trains, on the other hand, are...

I was out at 3pm but that was the only interview that afternoon. Im guessing if you were in a queue of 4people then it would be quite a bit later. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- So whats your career then?!? Its horses for courses really with jobs. I liked being a pilot...

Cheers, and you mate.....maybe see you around. Paramedic?

I passed all the tests today guys....thanks to everyone for their help. Best wishes to the girl who didnt make it. Tough tests...mt4.2 was a difficult one but isnt part of the STANDARD tests....its specific to northern. The dials were much harder...there was 4 dials with 4 sections as...
