Hi,

I’m another of the Air Transport Management guys at Loughborough, also on my 2nd year. I agree with what the previous Loughborough guys have said about the course so won’t repeat what they’ve told you.

What i would say though is that yes, it is by far the ideal to get a placement year to stand you in good stead for after the degree, however it’s not the easiest thing to actually get on a placement in the first place. It requires quite a lot of perseverance and research.

It would even be acceptable just to get a job in aviation for a year, even if it doesnt strictly cover the terms of a placement; any experience has got to be good in my eyes.

That said i’ve been lucky to enough to meet a few interesting people in my placement search, in particular some GB Airways Directors on their assessment day, and the Marketing Director of Flybe. It’s a pleasure to meet them alone, even after not having been successful with the placements.

So, im still looking, but will persevere because i know it’s worth it.

Regards,

Hey Sam, brilliant photos, i espexially love the second from last 340 shot, you’re improving all the time and your editing is spot on. When i get back i’d like u to run through your editing workflow with me because im starting to get a little annoyed with my one now. You use Adobe photoshop right? Spk to ya later. Ad:D

I think that this comment from the controller sums both of the clips up really: “you’re where doing what short of who?”… that made me laugh
