funny

hi everybody, this is my first post on pprune.
it's funny that VS-LHRCSA mentioned they can't ask you any of these questions...when I had my final interview with the airline I applied for I was asked (in front of another 20 people) if I was planning to ever get married and have any children!!! but not in the next year or so!! in my life!!!! I was rather suspicious about it, but I also wanted the job very badly, so I answered the truth, I said I surely wanted children at some stage of my life (but then I carefully added: but not for another ten years...), but that marriage certanly wasn't going to be part of my life. at that point I was laughed at and they started commenting things like "oh right...so you've allready planned you are going to be a single mom!!! hahaha!!!" I was imbarassed, shocked, and very very angry. but in italy we don't have those civilized restrictions that you might get in the uk...you want the job, and they are the only ones who can give it to you...
sorry for the long post...cheers.
