Dont bother seeking a job in this place !!!!!

not unless you like working for peanuts and being treated like 3rd class dog muck (Yes i did work there for 5 years)

On the up side it is an eyeopener !!!!

Most of the guys there are real sound people, just the management Arseh*les

And forget the `Union`

Try further North in the GE engine overhaul place in Nantgarw if you want decent dosh.

I worked for BA as technician some years ago, so the trip would be interesting to see if I remember any faces.

Post Update Ref Visit

On the up side, they have agreed to the visit, on the down side due to the presant climate numbers will have to be restricted, but more than one group visit will be allowed, so 12 persons is the figure they have set per group visit, so the first 12 names will be on the first group visit, any other names will be put forward for the next visit at a later date, have removed my name so to open up another slot, but will be attending.

Date to be comfirmed, but will be a sunday.

Unhappy Poor Response

Sorry to say due to poor response this visit has been canceld , this was a one off chance for you to take a look at behind closed doors the workings of a major airline maintainence facility, for the 3 who returned thier details I thank you , a lot of meetings took place to set this up, if the chance should come available again I will post up a thread..

John many thanks for the effort that you put into organising this.... a real pity it did not have the interest that was required to get things rolling.

Fingers crossed that there will be another opportunity to have a look see in the future.
