And lets be honest, with L&B not recruiting this year, or next year (so im led to believe), the competition will be ridiculous anyway. I know someone who got in last year, and still hasnt started. There is going to be no shortage of applications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is going to be no shortage of applications! I worked for a company at the airport this year started training in March and you get 5 day passes untill they do checks on you to make sure u can be allowed an airside pass. I left in July and still never heard any news on my full time pass, total shambles for my liking. It might be different for this job but wouldnt hold any hope imo.

Do The Dance Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I see BAA at Edinburgh Airport are recruiting Trainee Firefighters. Do we have any amoungst our kickbackers? I was thinking of applying. How different is it from serving L&B. Is it a busy job? Cheers I would advise giving them a call at the airport, and see if you can go out, try a bit of training (hose running, ladders etc) and just generally ask them some questions. It'll look good at the interview that you've made the effort, and if they can give you a hose to run out, will be good for the fitness tests. Failing that, try your local fire station - hopefully they'll help out. I believe you are right that L&B won't be recruiting 2009 or 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallschunkychicken Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 My brother is one, but he's not a kickbacker. It seems a pretty good setup, well paid (better than L&B, as I understand it), and doesn't have the requirement of fighting fires on a particularly regular basis. I wouldn't want to be him going into a burning A320 if one does drop out of the sky though. IIRC he got accepted about a year before he actually started, so it's not an instant start. I could be talking baws there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
