And angrier again when he was based on the other side of Europe and she hardly saw him.

But her original post on that thread did strike a chord. Considering the time effort, talent and money required to become a pilot. Employer's and potential employer's attitudes do stink. I and most of us here are well used to it of course but for newcomers or others coming into the business. It must be almost shocking. You see it here on PPRuNE when some newbie finishes their fATPL and then can't understand why no one even responds to their applications let alone gives them an interview. They complain here and are further disillusioned with our callous responses.

Even experienced Captains and FOs get similar treatment by the airlines at times.

I wonder what other professions put up with this. Not many I think. It's not as if the pay was anything to get excited about anymore.
