This is my first time writing any sort of blog so please cut me some slack whilst I bed in!
I have recently been accepted onto the new easyJet MPL course flown with CTC, and in September I will be joining the course of CP112 for ground school. I am currently working in the industry as an Air traffic controller, and my title comes from the fact I used to be a bit tubby (thanks to a previous love of Rolo yogurts!). I am now moving to the other side of the fence and fulfilling a life long ambition of career flying, and what better place to start than easyJet!
Flying wise I have a PPL, I instruct on air cadet gliders and I just enjoy enjoy the fun of throwing a plane round. But this type of flying will be very new and no doubt challenging, which I plan to embrace with both hands!
As my course doesn't start for the best part of three months this blog will no doubt go cold, but I plan to keep everyone updated on the intricacies of the MPL course and how it differs from the traditional ATPL. In my opinion, the course will gradually become more popular with the airlines so I find myself in the exciting position of being one of the earlier participants.
For now, enjoy the sunshine and the delight that is the British summer!
