One thing I enjoy about T fly is that its an airline where people enjoy what they do.

I dont usually respond to these types of threads but, I came to this country 2 years ago, (yes i know taking your jobs, serves you right for invading us years ago always comes back to bite ya) had to write all of the exams even though already had an ATPL licence, filled in the T fly application only to be told on day 2, I needed the Jar licence in hand to be considered.

Re-applied 6 months later when I had completed all the exams and flight tests, filled in the form again, was lost in the mail (registered even) so I filled it in a third time and then stored it on my hard drive.
You are willing to pay thousands for a rating yet cant sit down for 2 hours in front of a computer and fill in a form for a company you say you would like to work for.
Actually I enjoyed the form, it brought back all my happy memories of my career progression through aviation, you know throwing bags on the ramp in minus 40 weather, gassing up float planes in the north of my country with moskitoes as big as some of the women I see out on a friday night, being paid peanuts to hopefully fly the next season. Oh and who cant forget the collapse of aviation in my country, mmm what fun but you cant sit down for 2 hours and fill in a form...

Personally I am glad you cant, as you really dont deserve to work for us! I do know of a company where you dont really have to fill in anything except a cheque for 20 000 sterling, I hear they are even trying to give you 2 weeks vacation now. Just imagine how many forms you could fill in with that 2 weeks management is trying to push down the pilots throat.

Tell you what, for a small 1000 sterling I will sit down with you and fill it in, look at all the money I will be saving you, pm me if interested, amex not accepted but bank draft is, payable in advance...

I will be thinking of you with my 6 weeks and my free bottle of water


I have a ps------ In those 6 months that you have been carrying the form around, my seniority has gone up 80 names...
