Mrs. Catcher was driving home from work the other day and heard an advertisement on the wireless recruiting taxi drivers. Naturally, she immediately thought that driving pissheads home from the local has the potential to bring job satisfaction to heights she could previously only dream of. However, she wants to research the potential in more detail before applying. This is where you come in, what are the catches? It can't be as good as the ad suggests, can it?
So far she has a number of issues she'd like to clarify with NTA before handing in her notice, as below. With your help the list may grow.
- Will she be allowed access the lucrative work at Dublin Airport or are the licences on offer some sort of second class taximan chits?
- How does Dublin Airport facilitate private bookings i.e. is there a reserved area for taxis to pick up passengers who have pre-booked to avoid being overcharged from the rank, etc
- Is there sufficient rank space up above in Dublin to accommodate all the new drivers and are existing drivers likely to resent giving up space for them?
- How does the rank apartheid system work up above in Dublin? Is Connolly Station really a black driver only rank? What about the "Nelson Mandella", how did that get it's nickname, etc...
- What income should she expect to earn
- Does the entrance exam still have a high fail rate - she heard pass rates indicate that it's significantly easier to qualify as a brain surgeon, is this true?

forgive my indelicacy but are there any facilities available for lady drivers who may need to access said facilities for sanitary or urinary purposes .A lad has an extension he can operate against the rear wheel at night but it cannot be safe for a lady to squat with her jocks around her ankles leaving her open to attack .
Although tinted windows are restricted can you fit curtains to side windows in a van.
As a well reared girl does the practice of ladies first apply on taxi ranks.
If you take the test and pass with flying colours does this compel you to take up actual employment in the taxi industry.

Most times I ring the various Taxi Industry hotlines, they ask for my Date Of Birth as a security question. As a lady with fabulous skin, will she have to tell them the truth or can she stick with a more modest number?

Given that you can't spell brain correctly....i wouldn't let you in the fukin room!!

That one was deliberate but the other spelling mistakes aren't Halpos..

Tell her to stick with the supermodelling/hairdressing,
I'm sure when she hears your tales of woe she knows exactly what she's not missing!!
-
Was there any mention of the camaraderie enjoyed by drivers?
Or the road manners and etiquette practices used by ALL drivers, regardless of the race, creed, or colour?

I reckon she'll stick with the teaching, Hal. However, I could be wrong, NTA might convince her that taxi driving is the way to go...

If she wants a Masters in Sociology, she's come to the right place. No better job to turn your average left wing Pinko into a Right wing Zealot.
I think the instructor's manual is called MEIN KABpf! 8).

There are more questions than answers ...but I'm sure you can still drive a taxi after Brian surgery
