Never in the field of aviation has so much bitterness been directed at so few by so many!
"Just the same as it is hard to ignore the slick pitch from a time-share salesman?"
Not really the same is it? Considering there was a 100% placement record until recently - you were practically guaranteed a job.
And as for those of you saying we should experience the other facets of aviation - if thats the way the mop flops, so be it. I was prepared to do that - I think you will find most cadets are - but we were offered a fast track to a great job. I defy any of you to turn such an opportunity down (with the caveat of NOT knowing what was coming just as the current folks did not).
wind check there is no need for an attitude like yours - why gloat? The argument still stands for if they made the wrong decision or not but for gods sake we all make the wrong call every now and again. You dont have to be sympathetic but whats the point in sticking the knife in while people are down??
