    As you say, it’s a good job you didn’t you’d have lost your job at just about the worst time possible. What aircraft were you applying to fly?

    Eastern: Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Manchester

    Hope that helps 🙂

    WOW, wys, that is absolutely brilliant, I’ll look over it again just before I go. It offers some good opportunities for me to rehearse what I’ll need to say and how to handle the interview and questions posed to be. Thanks my friend!

    I own and run EMAtch yeah. I set it up earlier this year to help fund my ATPL training. What company do you work for?

    Woundsinger, thanks for the morale boost! As you may have guessed my age was my main concern, but I know I’m captable and mature enough to start my training earlier than some others might start.

    Basically I need any outside shots of the old terminal. It’s so that I can get a model I’m working on just right for FS2002/04.

    Best PA I’ve ever heard was on finals to Heathrow (09L) with Lufthansa. Just as we are flying over Windsor Castle Captain says ‘Ladies and Gentlemen we are now on our final approach into Heathrow, if you look out to the right you will see that we are flying over the historic Oxford University’. He was of course talking about Windsor Castle.

    I was worried as I live in Oxford I thought that the city had been moved 36 mile South East while I’d been away!

    wys, that is the best advice I’ve received from anyone yet and goes a long way to helping me in knowing what to expect, I really appreciate it, thanks.

    The thing I feel most aware of is the fact that I’m 17, without wanting to sound arrogant, I think I am a lot more mature than many others my age, but I worry slightly about OAT’s perception of my age, but I think if I go ahead and show myself to be the strong confident person that you have outlined, I should be alright.

    I’m also very lucky that I’m not actually competing with anyone in the selection process. The OAT selection is based on ‘if you’re good enough, you’re in’ regardless of places available on the course.

    Dark Blue World, it’s an Anglo-Czech film about the Czech RAF pilots during WW2. It’s a flash back, basically a guy telling the story of his time in England as he is in prison in Prague in 1953. Great film!!!

    Thanks for the advice Woundsinger, I’m glad to hear that being nervious isn’t something to worry about! I really feared that this would effect my performance in terms of hand eye coordination tests etc, but coming to think about it they must take nerves in!

    Yep the aibus is an A321, didn’t get a registration I’m afriad and the CRJ is indeed a 700, very comfortable aircraft. I also flew on a Eurowing CRJ200 from Munich to Dresden and an A320 with Lufthansa from LHR to MUC.

    I do both. Everything you see has been modeled, textured and placed into the sim by me 🙂
