WWW,
You can hardly call Britannia Airways "half arsed" can you really?
They have been around longer than you , and possibly, just possibly their senior pilot management who make the decisions on who does and doesn't get in have done quite a lot more instructing than you did before flying the 737!! Be that military or civilian!
I think they probably have the keys to the machine don't you?
No amount of criticism or moaning will change it! They will recruit as they see fit, and in the past Brits have ALWAYS done things their own way!
Not criticism, just an observation. (By the way, have you banked your share option cheque yet?!? Lucky f????r!)
Whoever gets these sponsorships will be made for life. Good luck everyone.
