Hello.

A couple of years ago, when I was a young lad, I applied for sponsorship. I went into the interview thinking that honesty would be the best policy. I didn't get any feedback, but I think the biggest mistake of the 20 mins in front of the panel went something like this...

HR: "So, why do you want to fly for the airlines?"

T1000: "I think it is the pinacle of aviation."

HR: " I think the boys flying round in their Tornadoes would disagree with you there. I see you were awarded an RAF Flying Scholarship, why didn't you join up?"

T1000: " I had Asthma when I was very young."

HR: " So, if you didn't have that holding you back, would you have joined the RAF?"

T1000: "Yes."

Cue much exhalation of breath from the panel and frantic scribbling. Bad call?

Call to John
