Thanks CVR, I've finally managed to figure out where you're coming from. To answer your question : YES, I have worked with them. I know several of them working in Aer Lingus, Ryanair, British Airways, City Jet, CHC, AAIU, etc. You’ll find them at the top level in several aviation organisations, so they must be doing something right. They never claim to be Top Gun material (if fact they are all flying civilian aircraft in military colours). But something never changes; you’ll always get someone on the other side of the fence who thinks he knows it all and believes he could do a better job. By the way : what is your gripe with the Air Corps?. Did you fail the aptitude test?.
