Dragon spice,
The First Lady is a rather nice lady - BUT the manner in which she was recruited was very unethical. The second lady - (who is also rather nice), had been a Brazillia F/O for a couple of yrs. She had applied to FJ, BUT had been ignored for yrs, then interviewed and turned down - "Not good enough, - never will hire you etc etc". Then the First lady gets 1000hrs (just, but with no comd) gets a "Come to the office" phone call, arrives to find TV camera & press etcetc. Let me point out that the First Lady is of blood that can apply for 'support' from "Affirmative Action Policies' (commonly know as Blueprint policies - ie. Govt policies aimed at assisting ethnic Fijians).
THEN, a couple of weeks later, the 2nd lady gets a phone call - "Start on Monday". Note here that AIR PACIFIC give you job offers that do not allow you to give your current employer full notice. BUT when you want to leave AIR PAC at short notice, NO FU*King way will they let you go a second early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ladies, appologies to both of you for discussing your recruitment and employment with FJ. I hear that you are both competent pilots. The issue I am raising here is the manner of FJ's recruiting.
Nepotisim has no place in aviation - But we all know it is everywhere.
What's the word for nepotism in Arabic?
