Did you keep a straight face over the phone saying that?
Great to hear you got there in the end. Thank you for sharing some reasons about the difference between making it and not, that is really helpful. Know any who were prepared to do all that and still didn't get there just out of interest?
When I was interviewed by Ryanair and the truth came out the crinkly old captain (paddy I think his name was) actually said good man and admired my courage (he bombarded me with tech questions just to make sure I knew the stuff). However the HR guy was not having any of it. You could tell he wasn’t impressed because he only asked me a couple of questions why Ryanair and my base choice.
i don’t know of anyone who gave it 100% and didn’t make it. I know of a lot more that quit either mid way or after their ATPL’s
I also know of people who said they were prepared to do anything but haven’t because of the reasons I mentioned above
Good luck everyone
