Hadn't flown for 2 years, got fed up with the Queens's desk job, so did a quick ATPL and applied. Found myself in the BAC 1-11 sim, aced it, got in - despite my protestations that I could have done a better sim detail had they tested me on a Harrier sim.
So here is the scenario, Airbus qualified, tested on Airbus sim, recruited. Few years later directed to a Boeing. Fail. Bollocks, whose idea was it to test on an airbus?
Sorry folks, I must not post after closing time!
