Situation - well I was too impatient staying in my IFR twin GA job when I didn’t get into QF/JQ/VA first go, so I decided to apply to fly a decrepit jet for peanuts and pay for my own endorsement to jump the queue.

Task - Well the task before me was that I had to feign long term interest in rig-pig flying, when secretly I was just using it as a stepping stone to a real job where I could look myself in the mirror with an ounce of self respect

Action - The action I took, rather than working on my skills and myself as a person, was I went to a website of pilots who made the same mistake applying to Network and just asked them for likely interview questions. Seemed easier than all that personal development hog wash.

Result - Well, due to nothing other than their lack of suitable applicants who will work for peanuts, I succeeded! I ended up getting the job, paying for my own training. My ultimate success was then quickly becoming bitter and twisted myself, complaining how unfair my situation was when others who had some patience were getting legacy money for the same job.

Good luck - go get ‘em, tiger!

Post of the year!
