Gulfstream aviator:
KAG, you are missing the point, pilot handling skills, and problem recognition two traditional SKILL associated with being a PILOT, are reduced by automation, to a degree that even Airbus are concerned.
Our duties now are 95% monitoring automation, call it a dog or a monkey, so be it.
In regard to the other side of the story, for a good conversation 50% of which is listening......
I beleive that it is the interview technique not skill that is important...The OWNER is basically hiring a close family friend, who has certain specialist skills.
If you dont like his interviews then dont work for him.
If you smoke, and arrive at an interview with a smell of smoke, I would suggest you will not be hired.....and as to alcohol, then forget it.... I also dislike strong breath mints and mouthwash..
(designed to cover up what.????)
I agree.
Cj:
If i had a Gulfstream, which I don't, I can honestly say that I would never hire KAG.
Which is perfect because I have no intention nor willing to work for you.
More seriously, I fly B737NG, not Gulfstream anyway. I did flew a business jet in the past, but I am happy with my job right now, thanks for your concern.
I came here because the first poster had something interesting to say related with the news: occupy Wall Street, and I found his topic interesting.
It could even get more interesting if we could talk about it, especially this part:
In the good old days the billionaires expected to pay their workers why now do they try and squeeze every dime.
We all know the media portraits of jolly generous Buffet but surely we need better working conditions and be gone with these ridiculous Freelance contracts that leave you wondering if you are ever going to afford to buy a house,pay for your children or even keep current.
