Is it that Norbrook has become the new JCB ?
If the pilots who tend to join were on a cushy number, you would expect them to stay there for the 5 years left to retirement... It doesn't seem to be the case though.
I ask because I had an interview the first time they advertised and wasn't too impressed by the way they handled it (I had made clear on the phone what my requirements were in order to save time to us all... Turns out that none were open to discussion so in a pure aviation tradition, both paries wasted time and money).
So now it is with a curious eye and little smile that I keep on reading this thread/adverts.
