Just got the email to say i have passed the checks. Got my start date and induction day a week ago.

I will be working at a DO 18 miles away, it's not a problem but hopefully i can transfer closer to home at some point.

Congratulations Partyondude.
I've almost finished my first week working at a DO that's 17 miles away. I've been training all week and tomorrow is my first day without my coach.
It's been great so far with proper coaching, I've done a few loops on my own, I've been shown how to prepare the mail and tie up and how to use the PDA.
It's been a easy week TBH and the weather has been great. I've not had any aches and pains yet but I'm sure that will change next week.
