To far away
After being with my first company for a while the CP asked me to help go through his modest pile of hopefulls. The 3 or 4 we picked (had to have a NVFR which suprisingly few had) to call had all got gigs somewhere else as some of the files we had been sitting on for a few months.
In desperation we rang some flying schools and asked if anyone had just finished and needed a job. Well apparently FNQ is much to far away for a 250 hour hopefull to travel for a job. Will I get a travel allowance one asked. The fact we had dropped our minimum from 750 hours to zip didn't seem to make a difference.
