Please feel for the forlorn QF cadets who started very young and made the fatal misjudgement of leaving for AN. Also the Cathay, Air Pacific, etc pilots who did the same. (Average 700hrs a year) All very politically correct (rejoining around Nov. 1990) and yet no banana.

Unfortunately very sad, but in the real world, you would have to expect
VB, or any potential employer, to suspect these guys may go chasing bananas again and likewise may be tempted to leave
VB if a better job comes along. Almost without exception, employers will carefully look at someone’s employment record. They are after a stable workforce and are suspicious of people who chase perceived better jobs. The airline avaition industry is based on long term commitment by its employees.
