one last comment, i don't think i should be accused of racism because i think i should be hired because i'm a PADDY,.....no not at all,....i thought i should be hired because at the time(10yrs ago) i had 50hrs and demonstrated that i was prepared to become a pilot and being IRISH i want to fly for the NATIONAL carrier.....how silly i was back then......to think that they'd be remotely interested in taking somebody on from their own back yard.....
Yeah dog eat dog.....ALT want the best they can......but still i thought that they'd look to their own first and failing that then look abroad.
I know of some guys who worked with ALT got their CPL's and then were not hired by ALT even though they had a proven track history with the company.....if they don't take guys from within the company what chance did i ever have....
