Just wish we had the balls to do what our Commercial Licences privilage us to do ; Fly for Hire / Reward. Doesn't matter a dam what is written on the side of an aeroplane. But, we all fall in the trap of making up silly answers to even sillier questions from nerdy management like " How long do you intend staying with us ?" . After retirement, I continued to consult in recruitment and had to tell, many times, daft HR bods to stop asking that or similar questions. I would defend candidates by suggesting that they were already "commercial" pilots. They will stay as long as it suits, That is the essence of flying for hire / reward.

There will be no recruitment for a long time and if it returns, we will continue to be asked that same, daft question and we will continue to invent even more daft answers.

Survival in the rat-race and we will do what it takes. Heart breaking awful times. Bon chance to all who survive & stick with it.
