Ogeinc, you want honesty about corruption in kq? I'll give you honesty. I got into the ab initio recruitment not knowing a single soul there.
I've heard claims from left, right and centre about the alleged misdeeds. So much that I got paranoid midway and feared I'd end up being a victim(read the whole thread to follow what I mean)
Although I cannot discount the claims, neither can I verify them. Bottomline is, I got in fair and square.
In other words, if you want to be a pilot badly enough, you will swim through all kinds of murk to get to your CPL.
papawhiskey, I'm sure you mean you're looking forward to KQ getting their first B787-8 dreamliner in 2010. The B747-400 went out of production so long ago.
