Trouble is I've bumped into loads of guys who had trouble getting all their hours at AEU as the next guy came up behind them expecting to get his 100 hours.
Saying that, chaps have been bowling up at my airline having done their time at AEU on the 757 so in that respect it has got them to a point where they actually get a chance of a job.
Course I don't really agree with paid hour building but you don't spend all that money training to just mingle with the other supermarket manager lookalikes at the BALPA conference.
I also don't like the attitude of these hour building outfits as you're expected to be humble, grateful and a pain if you complain or expect your actual hours.
