I also said that:
  • I would not pay for my type rating and
  • Would not pay my own relocation costs.
Why should they? If they are after say an A320 rated driver, surely they are entitled to ignore anyone who doesn't have that rating? Should job advertisments say "those without an #330 type rating need nt apply"?

As for relocation costs, if I change jobs of my own volition that requires me to move from Brisvegas to Adelaide, why should my proposed employer bear this cost? After all, it's me that applied for the job. Why should you be treated differently - God;s gift to the world, eh? If JQ wanted to emply you by seeking you out etc., then maybe there is a case to be made for payment of relocation expenses.

Arrogance, like ignorance, is bliss.
