Oh dear another bitter and twisted wannabe. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story though.

Anyone who knows the recruitment process for the likes of BA knows that even if daddy or mummy were the Chief Pilot then they will still have to jump through the same hoops as everyone else.

Nepotism will generally only get you into the smaller operators. The big boys have batteries of tests and legions of HR people that revel in the delights of ensuring that each box is ticked. Our outfit has been known for a bit of nepotism in the past although it will only get your cv onto the right desk. After that you still have to pass interviews, pyscho babble tests, sim rides, type rating courses, pc's, line checks etc just like everyone else.
