Importance of networking
I recently flew with an older captain stating in a discussion 'networking' was absolutely useless, unless the pilot you knew was in a certain position.
I just started flying, so I don't really know aviation that well. However, I feel he's wrong .. look at easyjet, etc. where pilots can recommend other pilots and also other pilots can give you inside info on how a job really is like, right?.
So really, how important is networking ? Or is it to you ?
