"its all down to luck to be honest! These young types that get on the heavies at such a young age have the contacts! Daddy flies for x airline and hey presto your in through the back door!
Most of them dont know thier arse from thier elbow but they have the contacts/connections!"
Well, its pretty true here in India. I knew a 22 year old guy who failed in his CPL meteorology exam nearly 3 times yet is flying the A320 because his old man is the Head of Ops in that airline. He roughly has about 350 hrs on the A320 now and a TT of about 550 and he is going to be type rated on the A330 in summer 2009.
