Post by: stevfire2 on May 19, 2008, 09:31:42 PM: oban seems to be an airport thats had its problems recently. im not even sure its got its licence yet. its had a fire crew with no work for a while (though i believe they do ops, etc , which has led to claims of overstaffing.) be positive and open minded about the position, i doubt it will be a position where you sit around all day in your leggings.go in with an attitude that you enjoy a challenge, and can be flexible, whilst wanting to uphold / comply with the standards.good luck,

It is a challenge though as we also look after the low cat guys on the other 2 islands, so there can be a bit of travelling involved.

Ive sent Pete.d an email.

Post by: ruffles1 on May 23, 2008, 09:28:56 AM: Pete, may i suggest you find out as much about the airport and the RFFS b4 you go for interview rather than think its a cat3, you should get the standard questions like "what do you know about the airport / RFFS"
