well, you'll never sort fact from fiction on pprune. People are reluctant to post info especially negative stuff on their current employer and the average line pilot doesn't really know what the Recruitment sit is.
depressingly in 15 years , and 5 operators, it is always a last minute thing, with the top CVs on the pile.
Networking did me no good, banging on doors did me no good. I estimate 1000 cvs , mostly did me no good.
You send your CV and wait, and hope something comes up...
Is BH still the top man at bmir ?
