Try reading it again...this time without the charged emotion.


Nothing wrong with folks who one day aspire to become pilots. I'm talking about the ones who come straight out of flight school with the shiny new frozen ATPL's who pretend that they want to be dispatchers...

As JB007 has said, it is a cut throat and ruthless industry and the fact that young pilots spend so much money training means that they will do anything to make sure that this training does not go to waste. that said, I will not invest any of my company's time and money in training someone else who will leave the moment the cockpit door is open to him.

Good operations people are hard to find and take years to train. The game has changed and alot of money is at stake, efficiency is the order of the day. Someone looking out the window day dreaming does not make an ideal candidate; I have experienced this first hand.

Am not being negative, am being realistic.

P.s...dont feel sorry for me LOL, am having another fantastic day

All the best...
