Cool , i thought about it as something to do for a while for after i leave college , although my height got in the way.

im 6″2 so im very close to the maximum height, i work on and around aircraft on a daily basis and i don’t have any problems on the aircraft except walcking into the top of the door frame, (Damn that hurts).

have you not tryed Monarch?, they fly quite large Airbuses don’t they have more headromm lol

the A310 that comes into NCL to do the sanford flight is friggin huge it barely fits the stand, i think its the biggest aircraft that comes into NCL other than the 767 (seen once in the last 3 months, or the 747 (landed couple of times, but not seen by me :@)

i think what ill do is wait till October and see where my current job goes as it is a seasonal job with possibilities of being kept on, i think if i get kept on or not ill send an application to easyJet see where it gets me, i don’t think im in the position to send one of yet with me still in the middle of my contract at NCL and i like the people i work with at the moment and i wouldnt wan’t to leave them in the busy period and leave them with the extra workload as i know what its like at the moment.

But i think i will deffinatly send the application of in September/October, there’s no harm in trying.

Should this be of concern to someone considering cabin crewing as a potential occupation? That’s very much a personal question you need to answer for yourself.

it’s hard for me to explain my feelings on this subject, im not so much concerned about others opinions about me, as im mature enough to not give 2 hoots about other peoples opinion on me, its their opinion their entitled to it.

its more a family thing, i feel i would be ridiculed by certain family members.

Hey. I am a student in college who wanted to do the same as that except I’m looking for commercial flying. Two years ago I paid to do a course to become a Personal Trainer. It cost me 1,500 euro and took me 6 months of evening and weekend classes. Now, while still in college, I charge 90 euro an hour and I have ten clients a week who I work with in the mornings, evenings and weekends for one hour per week. Clients stay with me for 10 weeks and if they feel they need more they are welcome to stay. I could have more but my finals are here and I want to do well. The expenses are minimal. Insurance is 200euro for the year and I paid 500 for equipment, but this is up to you.

What i’m trying to say is invest a little in yourself and you can have great returns!

yeah i don’t want to go commercial purely because i wouldnt be happy sitting in the seat of a 737 or anything else, i purely want a license that will allow me to take out a single prop for an hour a month so i can enjoy myself, some sights etc, maybe later in life when i can afford it i would invest on moving on to multi engine, but that would be as far as i would go i think.

ohh i could also fly to work, im sure there would be plenty of parking spaces for a small motorglider at NCL 😎

yes i have tried gliding i used to be in the Air Cadets and did a Gliding Scholarship in the Grob109b MotorGlider i made 7 Hours in the Aircraft which is my main reason for wanting to learn in the Grob109b, as i feel i would have more freedom if i hold an NPPL than sticking to gliding, what i think i need to do is get rid of some of my bills, im intending to paying off my Laptop within the next few months which is £30 a month i save then pay my phone of which is another £30 a month im saving so ive already gained an extra hour each month.

as for the job its a new job so ive got plenty of room for improvement within the airport, so ill have to see what i can scrap up.
