Super Trouper
You do not get interrogated. The object of the exercise is roughly as follows:--
A) Primary objective is to allow Flight Ops. management to spend some of their Entertainment allowance.
B) Secondary objective is for them to get well tanked up before heading for the more salubrious pubs in Wanchai,and then going home, up to the Peak or to Headland Drive. This puts them in a good mood to face the missus and kids at the weekend.
C) Tertiary objective is to try to assess how YOU feel about the move to H.K. They dont really want to spend a pile of dollars on HIS training only to find that what you really want is to go home to Mum.
D) There are some basic rules,which I am sure you know about anyway. But for the record they are:--
Dress well but not outrageously.
Do not talk too much
Be supportive towards HIM and his future career in one of the worlds best airlines.
AND ABOVE ALL DO NOT DRINK TOO MUCH.
Enjoy the experience. Rgds. FPG
N.B. If all else fails you can always get HIM to send a polite letter regretting your absence due your own professional comittments, sick Mum, children doing exams,etc. They are human and do understand.
