I'm gone! -
I am yet to see the Chief Pilot ANYWHERE welcome a wannabe with open arms and give them a great big cuddle just to make things all nice and cosy, just like when Mummy pick you up from school
A while back I did the rounds of the equivalent operators at Bankstown, and while I was a fair way under the minimums for most of the companies, I was always treated with respect, especially by Rod Crane at Crane Air.
He was no doubt quite busy the day I turned up, but took the decency to sit me down and tell me how I could go about gaining employment there, and how the Bankstown scene worked. I was probably in his office for a good 15-20 minutes and at no time did he treat me like I was wasting his time. Told me a few good stories and seemed like a real character!
I don't know this Arthur Morris bloke from a bar of soap, but I tend to think he is in the minority with how he treats potential pilots. No-one expects to be given a "great big cudddle" mate!
Cheers,
