All training cancelled including safety briefs; so no instructors released for training or assessments, route learning cancelled, no mentor release with new trainees, the minimum holidays being granted etc all contributes to most jobs being covered but is clearly unsustainable even in short term...

There is a direct correlation between time of commute and absenteeism and incidents. Also even 45min in a car at 0600 after working through the night is incredibly dangerous.

Normally 80-100 for every position available

Have you had an invite?

June intake have been told a start dates. From what i hear intakes after that are not confirmed as links are full. They've over recruited.

Save yourself a fortune in petrol over your career. Also, by road, getting off at J26 and working...

I don't think we should give all the later candidates a better chance and do ourselves out of a job? Pretty sure EMR have only booked a set number of places on the final stage, the original job ad suggested 6 or 7 OPC days, the interview is scored presumably, would make sense that only the top...

Anyone got the dates for the various stages please? Silly me didn't make a note before the ad disapeared.l!
