At Southwest...no 737 rating; no interview...
At FR...no 15 grand; no interview.
And after paying up, maybe no job anyhow.
How much does a 737 rating cost in the US?
I can get one for $6,000!!
A nice little earner for FR.
They still have thousands applying to them
Can I see your figures/check your sources please. Seriously! If you're right I'll start a school offerring 737 type ratings and be a millionaire overnight!
..and Southwest is regarded as being one of the best employers in the US
But FR is not regarded as being one of the best employers in europe. By a loooong shot.
so there's obviously a lot fewer whingers over in the States than there are here in Europe
Resorting to insults again Guvnor. Tsk Tsk. No wonder you get no respect.
Perhaps if all airlines took this approach, fewer of them would be in trouble right now.
Yeah right...anyone with $6,000 dollars...you're hired!!. That should keep the terrorists happy anyhow Guv.
And finally, don't forget that FR pay their people exceptionally well - you just have to (quite properly) work bloody hard for it.
You obviously didn't read Westmans comments very carefully did you. Unless you really think that a starting salary of £11,000 and fifty percent sector pay is your concept of an 'exceptionally well-paid' pilot.
On thinking about it, it probably is your concept of an exceptionally well paid pilot.
Which is just one more reason why I'll never work for you.
Or M'OL.
