all you have to do is put yourself in mr 50 year old senior management pilot sitting behind a desk staring out the window waiting for his penison to rock up so he can leave....and think, I f I was him...would i prefer a bloke/ess to have a type rating or not? He will be cheaper, less of a risk..in fact, yes less of a risk, cos i cant be bothered with my boss giving me grief if he fails.
And then i have a load less cv's to look through.
And it shows he can meet the grade.
Seems clear cut to me, what these people want. Either put yourself in that place... or dont. If you cant... well that is just the world we live in. Hay ho.
