Some how going strait to a Jet is skipping the food chain!! Well skip the
food chain!!!!
Look getting that first job is 30% Skill
30% Contacts
40% LUCK
FACT.
I got my job because a bunch of Aussies left the company and my Friends Brothers old Flat mate was a FO and good friends with the Head of Training.
And I know lots of pilots better than me getting shafted!! I can understand Wanting to pay for a sstr This is a business and Pilots are not a Union So we cant all go on strike and refuse to pay. Not with a family a mortgage and 80K flight Dept's. Most people here who are on their high horse didn't pay for the rating....knew somebody in the company and now drive a BMW to work its easy to forget the old days.
I was DANM
Lucky but I will never knock somebody less fortunate than me!
Go for it dude
