And actually the whole exercise has been to give the many excellent fos here a chance at command. It's never been about people buying their way into Vietnam Airlines. If you were to join you'd go to the bottom of the list, just like everyone else.
And as a side line, after 12 years in the RAF as a helicopter pilot before spending 4 years on hercs, I bought my A320 type rating to get a job. Hope you're not infering that i'm in any way inferior to you.
