Dyslexic Pilots??

[loggerhead]

I once had an interview with a Wan*er manager within our company. I had bagged the job, it was mine, until he asked if there was anything else I wanted to talk to him about. The subject of dyslexia came up and he was not aware of my situation. He stammered and stumbled and eventually I got the “Not this time letter.”

After this manager left the company I went for the job again with another manager. The dyslexia was not mentioned and hey presto I got the job and have now been in the company 12 years working my way up and up.

I leant a lesson that day, don’t even mention it, if it is not a problem then don’t worry about it. I have my PPL now and although I had to work hard for it I have a lot of respect from my friends and family. I proved that it can be done, if only to myself.
