After so many years of trying, finally managed to secure myself an I.T job working for an airline! W00t!
God it's been hard work; here in Aus, to get into the airlines, it's usually a matter of who you know, not what you know, but in this case, I was selected out of 200 applicants. I'm very happy at the moment; the boss has already discussed my future in the company.
They've needed another person for some time; by years end we will have 400 staff to look after. Lots and lots of projects on the way, I can't wait. Airline flies mainly Embraer 120's, and Fokker F-100's. Haven't asked if they have a simulator on site yet....M'wahaha!
My new manager's very keen too; his been there for a few years, but he only learnt to fly gliders due to having a young family.
Can't help but think I will be a different person after next week, just had to share the news.
Cheers all,
AJ.
Kindest regards,
AJ

Congratulations AJ! Landing a job from a pool of 200 applicants is no mean feat. Nicely done!

Thanks Paul.
Once I settle in, I'll post some airside photos. It's making me feel more and more like getting my currency back, despite the cost. Now I just need to shed that surplus 20 kilos. Thanks very much 40's! LOL.
Cheers,
AJ.
Kindest regards,
AJ

Congratulations. Hope it all goes well now.
Then get back to flying.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Congratulations FT! Wait with the camera until after the trial period, though
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
