Hmm... then I guess you could say "I really need to join them" as well....

[WTF...?]

If you can't even figure out how to fill in the application............there's probably a spot in management for you!

[a330]

i'm just asking for help here guys ... i'm not here to get my a** kicked nor to be laughed at ... of course i know how to fill up an application .. just asking you guys out there who has more experience to offer those who haven't been through all the **** you've been through ,.... come on wake up ... just try to think back when you were low on time , self-sponsored to do all this and you're getting no where ?? see , do i make a point or not and i've learnt how to make paper airplanes when i was in elementry school ... come on .. you guys ... i don't mean to piss you guys off or what ... just be a little ________ . i think you know what to fill up ... right ? and i am probably doing a much better job than you guys or flying something better....

Without being rude a330, bu t you are cross-posting on this and other forums.

This one is entitled as shown.

Best of luck.

[BUSDRVR]

Firstly, A330, best of luck with the application process. However, you should be on the wannabees site. And another thing, when you pick a handle / user name on PPRUNE you should have it reflect who you are. How do you justify your name????

[Jennifer Lopez]

That's right "Busdriver", so why are you then posting here on PPrune, and not over on "CityBus"?

Also, you can please do something about the temprature on "A11", it's a little bit on the cold side...

[cpdude]

It appears wannabees and dumbabees have infiltrated us!

[MaxHeadroom]

It appears from the postings that the largest percentage of people posting from CX are arrogant, self important, obnoxious and out right mean and rude. All of your handles should be "Dick Cranium"

[Thrust]

Gee Max, I resemble that remark. Are you a mate of a330 or just sticking your nose in to insult us all?

a330 you don't endear yourself to the CX crowd with your remarks such as your need of the job as it's your LAST CHANCE etc. Makes us feel just great.... who did you apply to first? Are we really the bottom of your heap? You won't pass an interview with that attitude. And yes you are on the wrong forum. Please think about what you are going to type before you hit the keys. It's the same at the interview, think before you open your mouth. Good advice I promise.

People are hard nosed here that's for sure but I do wish you the best of luck with your application. By the way Max,... have you applied yet or did you have problems with the application form too?

[a330]

hey there thrust ... i know that you guys all are hard nosed , i don't only mean you guys but all of the airlines .. i know that for sure ... i'm also in an airline too .. i'm just looking for better future here and it is for sure that i'm not here to insult all of you guys here .... who said that by the way ??? or do you think i'm a spy ??? i'm just wondering ??? tell me the boys on the big jet can't take a little question from a guy who is looking for a better future and advise ... u know why i post all my questions here ??? 'coz i thought that you guys up there will be able to help someone down here ... !!! and i asked you guys to help 'coz people look up to you !!!

[Thrust]

I know you didn't mean to insult anyone a330. I'm just trying to point out how some post's can come across. I'm afraid that I can't help you as I haven't seen the application form. I filled mine out 13 years ago. Took about 18 months to get an interview and I updated every 6 months or if someting significant changed.

Don't forget that there is always the phone.

Don't lose heart and if it's what you really want give it your BEST shot. No half measures. Find out all you can about the operational aspects of the airline so that when you do get that interview you know what you are getting into. There are many websites besides this one! Gee, I think CX has one too.

Good luck.

[wishtobeapilot]

Thank you Thrust for your kind comments. I understand that some users might think that we're sticking our noses into forums which we don't belong but I guess they haven't visited the Wannabe forum. Otherwise they will know that it only consists of people mainly from UK or Europe. I personally feel like a foreigner there. With Fragrant Harbour, there is a sense of closeness with daily issues which I could relate to. Maybe some are hard nose or arrogant but it's people like you whom we look up to make aviation (CX included) a better place for the future. Please overlook us for asking improper questions. If we knew everything, we might already be working together. Good luck to your cause with CX.

Hey Busdrver, how do'ya like my callsign?

[Jennifer Lopez]

I'm really glad that you picked a correct UserName, that makes one less prson that The Internet Police have to go after...

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;And another thing, when you pick a handle / user name on PPRUNE you should have it reflect who you are. How do you justify your name????&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; For me? I have a big ass...

[Herb]

Hey Thrust have a look at Max's other posts on PPRune.The boy has a problem. You are lucky you didn't get a lecture on the use of the English language ;).
Hey Max...chill out.

[a330]

hi there again guys ... thanks for the postings.. .. firstly , Mr. THRUST ... i've already had a reply from CX and i maybe called up for an interview in the near future ... (hopefully) come on ... i think all of us has to stay together and work things out .. we're all here to help one another not to .... i don't know what to put in there .. u figure that out yourselfs ... and to the others ... of course i know what nick to pick for myself and i don't need any comments on that .. Thanks by the way .. it's my nick not yours..anyhow here's my suggestions ... let's help all of us here either to get through and share our ideas and discussions .. i think that's the reason why PPRUNE was established for .. right ??? just to let you know i've been in PPRUNE since 1998 but i wasn't around due to certain circumstances ... anyhow thanks again for the reply , help , advise , critics , insults and etc .... let's just keep some peace around here ok ???

thanks again and take care .. : )

330, ever done a psych test...

[MaxHeadroom]

The guy a330 was asking for some info and using the usual informalities of the internet. His posting
was not a business letter sent to any one of you, but he was bam blasted for his questions, his
language use and the choice of his moniker. My point was that you guys need to pull your heads
out of you holes and not be so much of a Dick Cranium. But the arrogance with which you mantle
yourselves disallows for you to see yourselves as the arrogant ones you are. This can be proven through reading most of your postings through out this thread and others. Hey guess what you put your pants on just like the rest of us and a330 or someone else may have knowledge in an area that you are uncertain, but your egos of course would keep you from ever asking in the first place
you would rather demonstrate your ignorance that ask a smart question. Duh?

Not so! The same repetitive questions keep getting asked time and time again by wanabees, who are simply too lazy to go back through the archives and see if the question that they are posing has been asked before.
We are in the midst of something far more serious than answering questions from people who have yet to be hired. The answers to all the questions posed can be found in the archives of this forum. Hence the reason for some of the replies.

Max Headroom
Before you go running off at the mouth, you may want to check your grammar first. You may be familiar with the Proverb " Those who live in glass houses etc. Re read your last post to see what I mean.

For all the new applicants, Please check back over the last few months the answers to all the questions you have can be found there!!!

[Thrust]

Max It annoys me when someone who is obviously outside of the forum area tells us what and how we should reply.

Flying for a top tier airline is a long way from crop dusting. You seem to think it is one in the same. If we see someone asking questions in a dialect unknown to us then we will reply in a manner befitting the post. If a330 or anyone else wants to join CX then he has to fit OUR psyche profiles not yours.

If some people demonstrate their rather odd use of English while asking questions about joining it is in their best interests to be set on the correct path. Take a look at some other past posts and tell me who has the best shot at joining CX. I can just imagine the result of an interview with some of the posters we have had here. A complete waste of both parties time if it went that far.

I'm rightfully proud of what I have achieved in the airline business. I'm CERTAIN that no CX pilot posting here thinks he knows it all but I'm equally certain that they have demonstrated a considerable skill level to be where they are now. I'm open to any voice that will increase my knowledge in aviation (yes, even yours) and I do my best to help wannabe's.

Most haven't forgotten the struggle to improve and most want to assist. What you fail to realise is that we get the same post's over and over again as though the poster has no knowledge of search functions! This is a forum dedicated to the issues of fliers in the Hong Kong area not the wanabe's section.

Why not dump your load somewhere else. How's the ATPL going? Have a nice day.

[a330]

hey guys ... this is no room or topic for arguments right ??? if , some of you'll are in the big jets already ... then tell me why can't you just close your eyes.

i'm not here to scr*W up the forum here nor to post something stupid.it's related to fragrant harbour that's why i post it here and it's not your forum it's open to everyone ... if you want smart people like yourself(whoever it is) go startup your own forum or whatever it is ...

i'm only here to get advise from PROFESSIONAL'S , and that is what all of us are suppose to be not here to judge someone or laugh ...

whatever psyc test it is .. i think mine is a lot better than yours .. you don't have to ask me that ... judge yourself before judging someone else ..

to the guy who asked this question
MR.PSYC

i've met a couple of nice people here at fragrant harbour ... so , i am requesting you guys to be peaceful here . i don't care that you like me or not ...

Eye on the ball, boys. Don't get sucked in here.

Sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Thrust]

This thread is getting a bit removed from your origional questions a330. I'm not posting to laugh at you and I don't dislike you, in fact my previous post and that of several others is directed at the Max Factor.

If you posted your question's in the main rumours forum you would be quickly padlocked and removed to wannabe's. Oh.... I see that did happen!

(Why should it be different here moderator when it's the same old same old?)

a330 I wish you the best of luck (again). Why not include a hotmail address so that people can talk with you on the subject you asked about in a private manner. I think some are not keen to post their answers here.

[Kurtis Chukle Willis]

a330,

Can you tell us what nationality you are,as it may shed some light on your unique use of the English language.English is obviously not your mother tongue and if it is,God help you!!!.

[a330]

hi there again ... although english is not my mother tongue mr. kurtis but i can guarantee you that i can speak a couple more languages in diffrent dialects .. how about you ? only english ? huh ? what does it matter to you so much about where people come from ?? u think u are that good ? or what ?

to all people who are replying to my topic in this forum .... listen up please ... i'm here to get info. and advise not other stuff ... as from my last 2 postings ... i think my english is not that bad and it's well understood mr.kurtis ... !!!

like what thrust said is right ... u wanna get personal come to me directly don't try to come from my back ...

i guess that's all i have to say for now and thanks again for those who replied in a well mannered way.

[skyrocket]

"As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, to elicit certain reactions." am I a crop duster or not...that you will never know for certain. This is also a fast type informal medium and YOU are not English grammar teachers. So who gives a rats a*s as long as the message gets understood. As many who have posted here that tout to be so estute have typed and sounded as if they were on a 4 day drunken binge. Give you pomposity a rest.

[Neutral Stability]

MHR, I see you have edited your post only once. Might I humbly suggest that you work on it a little more in order to make it slightly more comprehendible to the rest of us?

[Peter Zee]

NS,

I guess you really mean "comprehensible"?!?


GOOD LORD WILL IT EVER END??

[a330]

i don't think this is a classroom or a shooting ground .... guys PLEASE ....
