Carbon fibre, I will not get involved in this petty childish discussion anymore, except to say I was simply giving my opinion that in my book, i like to see people show some initiative. This is also true of interviewers. Who are you going to ask at FL350 over the atlantic when things go belly up! Who are you going to ask when your captain has a heart attack,perhaps you could post a mailing on this site.
There seems to be a trend running through this whole site of people who would rather ask a rumour web site a simple question than phone up an airline or do some simple research themselves. Perhaps it is a fault of the modern society that children like to be spoon fed information. It is hardly initiative, rather that of being lazy.
Finally I can tell you all about the interview and the sim check at bacx, which were sucessful. Good luck.
NB; Anyone got the number of Homebase, I need a Christmas tree!
