Puritan, I’m shocked, nay, horrified to hear that you condone canvassing! But do you not know that this will automatically disqualify you from selection! Can you be serious about this lack of honour among our airline selection committees! Are you really suggesting that there are senior heads of departments that would allow this sort of thing! Have you never read the warnings at the bottom of those adverts, especially AerLingus! Do you not realise that no respectable airline has ever allowed friends or family to be “eased through the system”!
Wait, hang on a minute, I just realised I need glasses (the Christian brothers must have been right!), that small print actually says, “canvassing WILL qualify”, you were correct all along…again!
