Hello
I thought EGCC4284 was a mouthful
I am doing fine thank you
I think I remember speaking to you on bay 7 or 9 about 2 years ago.
I remember you telling me your age and that you had only just started the year before with minimum hours.
I remember when you told me this, it gave me hope and that extra push to keep going.
Thanks for handing my CV at that time. That was possibly 1 of the 15 that I eventually sent him.
Through my networking, I managed to get PD's e-mail address and e-mailed several times. He always replied but was honest and never gave me false hope. I use to e-mail him every 3-4 months attaching an updated CV. At the same time, I would also send him a letter with CV by Royal Mail and another one by internal post (handing it to a Baby Pilot)
About a year after I started doing this, I went to the 2006 BALPA Conference and was amongst the last 6 guys to speak to P D. We sat down at his table to chat with him at about 17:15pm and he chatted with myself and 5 others for an hour an a quarter. About half way through him chatting to the 6 of us, I managed to mention my name and he stopped what he was saying, turned to me and said "I have got your CV" which proved to me that what I was doing was good enough for him to remember me. My system was working.
I often hear many at Baby say that if it was not for him, they would not be there?
With regards him giving older low houred guy's a chance, he is a credit to the industry. Its a shame many others are not like him.
I found that you have to keep in touch with the correct people who do the recruiting on a regular basis and not to be frighten of telephoning them. If you don't do this someone else will get the interview when it comes on offer.
If I did not get this 73 job, I would of flown anything if I could afford to do so and would of re located for the right job.
