I suggest that you take the above post with a pinch of salt because it is completley flawed in every respect with regards to the nepotism rubbish. I am not sure whether this happens in your native NZ LST? Perhaps it does? If your theory is correct, tell me why the UK airlines welcome pilots like yourself over home grown talent? After 12 years of flying they must have been really desperate eh?
If your Daddy flys jets he will get you a job? Random CV selection please! This definately does not happen for the airline I work for here in England.
