Can't you call the CC management and ask? You will be sure to get all the correct answers.

yeah i start tuesday 11th at asral towers on betts way...ive just had my accommodation secured and its in horley...but see i thought that astral towers in in crawley....help me..im wigging out
kaybee,
Horley and Crawley are very close! even if you don't have a car you can use the train, or the bus (or both).
In this job you must learn to be very peaceful, and to take things with calm, there's a secret of success for you ;)

Everything will be explained to you on the training course so don't worry about all the little details as you will get all the do's and don'ts once you start. Enjoy the course and be prepared to study hard as cabin crew training is very intensive especially if you haven't come from an aviation background. I have trained for two different airlines over the past 10 years and I had lots of questions, write them down in a notebook and take it with you - all will be revealed very quickly. Enjoy horley, not a bad place to live, the six bells was a nice pub the last time i was down that way. Good luck and enjoy.

Definately Stockings!!! :D
Seriously though I think the bus route you want is the 100, not sure where in Horley you are, but think it runs roughly from the station to Crawley. It stops right opposite Astral Towers.
You can't miss the Towers as it is a huge all glass building on the otherside of the road.

thanx all for your help....and i shall say stockings to the typical blokee...but they tend to roll down and make one look like norah batty,,,,all those who dont know her she is a character off bbc's last of the summer wine...a really dire uk programme...she's infamous for making the stocking the 'delightful' (tongue in cheek) fashion accsessory it is today...
Just an other number

Another 'TB' reply - stockings will not fall down, even for Norah B, if one uses the traditional suspender belt.
Please let me know if more detail is needed.
Good Luck!

If you're interested, email me and I'll tell you of a site that sells hosiery geared to flight attendants. I think it does something to help prevent vericose veins or something. Being a guy, didn't pay attention, but I linked to them from my website. By the way, when you say stockings, you mean those '50's kind with garters? No one wears those here in the states as far as I know, but I'd like to see those make a comeback (my two cents worth).
Take care & fly safe.

Stockings for definite. Another typical bloke response but one from a chap who has lived with Cabin Crew.
Good luck with your new career !

So how did the 1st day go Kaybee?
And put us hot blooded males out of our misery - did you wear stockings!!!:D :D
As the token Army Air Corps rep, I would say you would have the vote of the Corps on stockings.
Toodles....
