I still enjoy the flying but the three airlines going bankrupt in the last four years has left me l we say a little jaded.

I think the biggest problem that those of us who have been flying for years have in getting other jobs is the utterly stupid and pointless psychometric tests that are a feature of airline recruitment.

Some of these tests may be all fine and good for the generation of computer gamers new to flying but to be faced with flight director test with bars that work backwards is somewhat counter intuitive after thirty years of flying.

Interviews and technical questions I can understand but to have thirty years of safe flying rejected as part of the recruitment picture in favour of a computer game is just insulting.
