It's not what you know....it's who you know....or is it????

Hi everyone,

Is this statement above really true?

I mean, you hear folk mention networking and all that, which is fair enough, but is it really true to say that you need to know someone on the inside such as a recruitment pilot in order to gain a RHS on turbo/jet?

I would personally find it quite insincere to befriend someone just because they are high-up in management of an airline.

Therefore, I would be interested to hear anyone's thoughts with regards to the above and also people who have made it with a straight forward CV/application and not the I know you..you know me..so lets give you the job!!

Cheers for now...
