Happy Wednesday!
Today's post features a very exciting news story involving Virgin Atlantic Airlines!
( Photo found on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-29824064 )
Virgin Atlantic is looking for six trainee pilots with no flying experience to take part on an 18 month programme with Southampton CTC Aviation.
The six recruits will be take part in pre-flight training, flight simulation, and flight training in Phoenix, Arizona.
So let's get down to business. Have you got-
1) A minimum of five GCSEs or equivalent including maths, science and English.
2) £109,000 as a bond that you would later receive back when you start work?
This is the opportunity of lifetime for those that are seriously considering becoming a pilot, but £109,000 is excessive, and unattainable for many of us, but in sharing this exciting news, we hoped to prove further that maths is used in every job role-
Did you notice in point one, that MATHS GCSE IS NEEDED to even be accepted to do the training, proving that if you want to be a pilot, or as we have proved previously if you want to do any job you need maths skills!
So if your ambition is to become a pilot, gaining at least 5 GCSE's including Maths is vital to you attaining your dream!
To set you on your journey of becoming a pilot, below is the link to the Corbett Maths Non-Calculator paper for you to try.
