I applied some time back to
VB, but got a knock back. They said they had nothing for my background and experience. Let's see now, about 15 years (pre 89) flying around Oz., Multiple thousand In Command jet time, current on 737 etc. etc. I didn't mind the knock back that much as I know there are a lot of experienced people applying but I wish they could have sent a reply that gave me some confidence in the integrity of the people running the place, or do the 'human resource' people intercept applications. I've never had to much confidence in them.
