"Its a great offer" You say?.... No. An overwhelming majority of "experienced" pilots with "CX knowledge", "widebody international airline ops" will tell you in no uncertain terms that it isn't. But in your paralyzed head in the sand view they / we are all wrong.

Quit my present position? See, that's what the likes of you don't comprehend. Give up on the hard work and sacrifice that I went through for many years to sell out my industry, my colleagues and my own future? Not a hope in hell. Integrity is never up for sale: least of all to the lowest bidder.

"Let me know how you get on"...? Do what so many of you hopeful iCadets are so pathetically incapable of doing. Do some background reading (of my previous posts, my present job, etc) before asking questions that have been answered so many, many, many, MANY times before. Of course, like the tech knowledge and general overall job seeker commitment you all seem to have, you want others to do that work for you. Do your own damn reading & research.

(PS: There are a few documents such as FCOM, SOP's, FCTM,s AFM's, etc are quite thick with many pages you are expected to read. Yes, yes.... There are some pretty pictures of shiny jets so relax. You'll probably try to buy an audio book instead).

Some believe they are "ENTITLED" to reduce the overall well being of an airline and industry as a whole. Others do not. Your call. Your conscience. Just don't defend it with pathetic "it's all too tough to do it any other way" rubbish.

What you see as an ENTITLEMENT the vast majority of "experienced" pilots see as a complete sell out.

"So Dangerman! Why did you apply to CX?"

"Well illustrious interviewer, I felt entitled to take the offer of an interview."

Capt Dart is spot on. (It's a post above, so you may have to do some other reading instead of asking others to provide you with an abbreviated rendition......)

A lot to say for someone who stated:
I have my reasons and I don't want to get drawn into a big heated discussion on this forum for days to come so I'll leave it with this post. It's not like me to even get drawn into these same old pprune discussions but I had a rush of blood to the head last night.
