FL500 welcomes BCFT students.
Flight Level 500 would like to thank everyone at Bournemouth Commercial Flight Training for their hospitality yesterday (22 Jul. 2010). Will Swinburn was given a tour of a most welcoming and approachable Flight Training Organisation and met with a full turnout of students for an informal lunch and chat about the industry. Will was most impressed by the set up at the FTO where there was a real feeling of support and comradery amongst staff and students. The employment statistics at the flying school were also impressive. For those of you in research, Bournemouth Commercial Flight Training carry out flight training and ground school at their facility on Bournemouth International Airport, the same commercial airport used by a number of British airlines. Go to www.bcft.org.uk or see the FL500 forum for more information.
It’s our pleasure to welcome the students of BCFT as members of Flight Level 500. Your mentors will be in contact with you via email very shortly and your NUS student cards en-route.
Flight Level 500 take off with Connexions!
Flight Level 500 are proud to announce the first of a series of events to be held along side Connexions Oxfordshire. Together they will educate students from 16 to those in university on the career of an airline pilot. The aviation profession is one that can be seenas under represented in the careers advisory arena and together FL500 and Connexions plan to increase it’s profile.
The series will begin on October 13th 2010 where teaching staff and careers advisors from Oxfordshire will be invited to attend an evening titled “My student wants to be a pilot!” It will be a two hour session from 4pm until 6pm led by Will Swinburn. The emphasis being to keep the evening fun and light hearted yet also giving the staff a good grounding as to how the profession works, what’s required, what it entails and most importantly, giving them an armoury of resources to use if ever needed!
Following the teaching staff evening we intend to deliver a very similar seminar to students who dream of a career in aviation. FL500 and Connexions would like to add that the flight training and aviation information evenings will be completely free for all to attend. Do you want to be a pilot? Not sure the exact route to follow to become an airline pilot? Contact Flight Level 500 using the contact page at www.FL500.com for more information.
An Upturn in Pilot Recruitment?
Are we about to face an upturn in pilot recruitment?”
A successful period at flight school should place newly qualified pilots in a fantastic position. Keen to get into the exciting world of commercial flying, there is, however, always the pressing issue of uptake and recruitment.
Like all industries, aviation has felt the aftershock of the global financial downturn, with aircraft manufacturers and carriers directly affected.
Also, people are increasingly aware of environmental debates; fuel costs continue to fluctuate, and customers remain cautious with their cash. read more
