Had my week and a bit induction into the AA, and go out on the road Monday

Should be interesting!

 

sounds cool! whats the pay like with that kinda job these days?!

 

how you get into that pal?

 

Good luck mate.Should be fun.Just think of all them sexy women you will attend to.

 

Nice one, glad you've found another job reasonably quickly!

 

Nice one mate

Not fantastic, but it's early days really as it's a new venture for the AA - they only bought the company out about 2 months ago!

I asked em for a job

Summer time can be great

I secured it almost a month ago, it's just been time getting through all the paperwork and official stuff, plus the weeks induction course...

Cheers pal

 

Is this as AA patrol or window fitter?

 

Windows Gaz

 

Good luck.

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i thought it was patrols!!

 

Fuck patrols! I only got the "basic" induction to the AA and it's policies and proceedures, as most of them are in place for the mobile patrol and recovery people (RSS and RDT I think?) and there's SO MUCH those fuckers have to know!!!! Much MUCH more than regular joe on the street realises they have to do!

But I'm looking forward to it. Obviously I'm a bit nervous and intrepid cos although it's an industry I've been in for years, this set up is all a bit new to me : no branches or offices, which means no one to hold my hand through it for the first few weeks!

But the AA do look like a good company, and they are obviously very well established, and one of the few companies that managed to grow, substantially, through the recession, which looks like a good thing? It's also a big "family" to be in, with hopefully better, and brighter, future prospects

 

All the best

Sounds good

 

Thought you'd discovered a long lost chinese family connection when I saw the title.

Well done on the job.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Great news Matt!

 

well done Matt,
will you be able to do privates or is the van tracked?

might need a screen in my golf soon

 

My dad worked for the AA in Management for the last 12 years, and they have been a very very good company to work for. He retired on ill heatlh and they went out of thier way to look after him with pay/pension etc, so good luck, sounds like you are onto a good thing

 

Nice one mate and good luck

An old boy that does some driving for us worked for the AA for 40 odd years, he started in the 1940s on a norton! He's 87 now, been retired over 20 years and still goes to their annual dinner. He reckons they were a great employer but obviously his view is a bit out of date so mentioning it is pointless

 

Tracked mate can't even go a mile down the road for some tabs!

 

It's not your fault if the tracker has an intermitant fault

Not that kind of tracker, and also, should anything happen, we aren't insured to drive outside of work hours / when not relating to business...

 

Good luck Matt!

 

Cheers Lee

I've spent pretty much all day outside today kitting it out, sorting through my tools and stuff, best part of 8 hours! Probably would have taken less time, but I was on a stag doo last night so wasn't running at full speed

 

good luck with the new venture matt

 

Thanks
