My last one on the this one.
I think that what some people are trying to say in previous posts, is that having type specific experience is not what is all about. It is possibly for the bean counters. But, there are many other factors on pilot selection and a type rating and hours on type, although very important, is not all.
At the end of the day, why wouldn't easy or any other airline for that matter employ these type rated pilots if they thought they were worth employing.
We all have been unsuccessful at some point in time in our careers or indeed in our lifes. But sometimes we have to put it behind us and get on with it. It's not to do with a macho attitude. It's life, and life is not always fair, not by a long way.
The fire is on and I can taste that ale and am off.
