Well, 'Honest' he may be, but he's no expert at intellectual debate. And to think that I was his 'dear friend' such a short time ago - or perhaps he was patronising me?
Cabair is Cabair, you take it or leave it.
I believe that when I was there the good outweighed the bad by some margin.
But then, I wasn't dim enough to be suckered by promises that would never be kept - and I didn't even have a background in the building trade
My opening remarks about my own background were largely intended to clarify that my experience of Cabair might be a little out of date. A couple of you took this as some sort of bragging - I'll let you ponder on your own rushed and incorrect interpretations (and what this sort of inability to assimilate information without setting it in your own context might lead to in the flight deck).
I agree that it's best to go into anything with your eyes wide open, and the advice to go and seek out the opinions of current staff is good. I am far from sure that they will be keen to give an unbiased picture to someone who has just walked in off the street though.
Oh, and 737-NG FO: I would guess that Privatair would expect rather better communications skills from their pilots....... Good luck, anyhow.
It would be nice to have a discussion here that didn't get dragged down to personal sniping at 'fellow professionals' Perhaps it's time to go back to playing with the older boys.
Finaly, respect is earned, not a right. My CRM skills are fine, thanks very much, but you seem to be so expert as to be able to form a valid opinion on my professional ability without ever having met or flown with me? Good CRM doesn't prevent me calling a spade a spade, and nor should it.
