Yes indeed here we go into another thread hijacked by it descending into a bitching contest between different parties.
In direct response to wingedwilliam you make a statement saying how difficult it is to get reliable information from pprune. I think you may wish to look beyond your hazed glasses. Yes for me anyway it is my first post under this username. Why, well put quite simply should I post under my usual name my real identity would be easily recongnised. For me I stand by my comments. Yes I was an employee of the company and I think my post was a balanced opinion based on my experiences there. I would not go quite as far as some of the other posters buy I certainly stand by my comments about the roster and the operations department.
You came on here looking for advice. It took a number of days for someone to respond to you and I felt it appropriate to do so. I don't really understand why you did so as you obviously are disregarding the comments made by other people. I would have offered you infomation via PM and perhaps put you in touch with some people in the company to see how it is today. Like I said I moved on some time ago. As you obviously don't appreciate the information given here then this offer is withdrawn.
I also see you are an FO. Looking through some of your previous posts it shows you weren't successful in the past with Aer Arann. I also said that the company was short of captains and not FO's. I made my opinions known to you based on the information given. I said you may regret coming here. I assume you are not local and I don't know your circumstances in regards to your family, possible children, wife etc.
There are many good points about the company as well.
1 Very good flying
2 Good routes
3 Fantastic workforce.
And just to finish off, looking through Banons profile, you will also see that he dosen't work for the company.
If you get called and are successful then I wish you the best of luck.
