Oh yea.. the amount of CVs lying on our company desk.. all annotated with a "will self fund rating" has been a temptation to managment but we prefer to hire people on the basis of personality as I want people to stay..longterm..not bugger off as soon as they get 100 hours on type. Just because you have a rating does not mean you are a nice person or have the personality to fit in with the team. Also a SSTR rookie is only a short term solution to a companies needs as they typically have nothing invested in you so can flick you out like yesterdays date.
Chlong, I may be alot of things but not a bully. I have helped numerous F/Os into corporate flying and will continue to do so in the same vain I myself was hired into the industry. Returning the favour like I promised an old captain I would when he got me in. But you are right, I won't entertain your CV purely because of the SSTR offer, but on the merits of your other qualities that you will bring to company.
