When I did the rounds looking for work ,most places I went to had no jobs going at the time. However almost everyone was polite about telling me. Some companies at least looked through my resume and some gave me advice and possible leads ,one of which eventually led to a job. Skytrans and Air Swift were patricularly helpfull.
Arthur Morris was without doubt the rudest ,most unhelpfull person I came across during many hours of door knocking. He treats pilots looking for a job like some kind of sub human low life scum.
Aviation is a small industry and what goes around comes around. Ten years down the track the new CPL who he was so rude to may be the chief pilot refusing to help him out with a breakdown.
Does he have to work at being nasty or does it just come naturally ?
