"About the "vocation" factor. Well, i would have LOOVED it if they had analyzed our vocation. That would have given some of us such great advantage. I know you guys out there, spending hours in airports just for the sake of feeling at home, and watching and staring, sometimes even letting a tear fall. Also those of you who have made flight simulator the second most important thing in your life for how helpful it is when for when you study Instruments, and for when your friends prefer to play play station as well. And what about those who have the superpower of boring their families and friends, and can't even conceive why would someone not love this whole thing. Ever since we where little little little, ever since we can even remember.

Good thing is that all people who are as vocational (and freak) as I am, have a way to making this love contagious. So if they would have assessed that in the beggining, they would surely have gained a bunch of pilots who, over all, will LOVE their jobs as they make Etihad a new member of their families and daily concerns, and to whom, the 5 year bond with the company were just words they completely ignored cause we never considered leaving the company at all. Bond, Shmond! You don't leave the company which gave you an opportunity like this one..."

Aeromar 27, please don't take offense when I say this as I'm trying to be as polite as I can, and secondly it is none of my business.

It's just some of your posts including the above appear to be aimed at none of the open readers of this forum, more like whoever you think at Etihad is reading this thread.

I will be honest and will admit that I have typed out a few posts similar to yours, however I stopped and thought; hang on a minute. If any of these guys get to interview they could use this as answers to interview questions. I'm just nicely trying to say that your reasons for wanting to be a pilot and how deeply absorbed into aviation you are is something that in this kind of process should stay yours until asked by the company.

By the way it's not just you, I've read a few posts that have made me cringe and think, who are they writing this stuff to?

As you know I'm not the most active poster here so try not to take offense just consider what I'm saying

Cheers
