Thanks for your memory of events.
But, can we clear up a few facts first?
The contract had a 7 day termination clause in it, up until completion of training, did it not?
This was a 2 way clause, that allowed either party to terminate the contract with 7 days notice at that stage - for whatever reason.
So, if that 7 day clause is true and seeing as I was outside of that 7 day period (by a more significant margin than you make it appear), I didn't actually breach any contract with anyone. It is regrettable that others may have felt ruffled, but it wasn't a malicious breach.
Please bear in mind that seeing as interviews only left about 5 weeks until start date, the whole process became a little "compacted". To suggest my actions were to "jump ship" at the "last minute" are somewhat disingenuous.
I was offered a once in a lifetime job, which offers me and my family real security. I didn't expect to be offered it, and indeed was only offered the interview for it AFTER my EZS interview/sim. It was totally unexpected.
Perhaps I am incorrect about why the pay was so low compared to other EZS Captains - and that I will never know. For the record, if I am incorrect about my previous assumption about the broker being rather keen, I am happy to say unconditionally that I withdraw that comment on your word that I am incorrect.
Helipilotr44, I wish you all the best, but you and I both know that this is business, and in business things sometimes don't quite go with the script.
However, I'm not the only one throwing stones it might appear.
