Cool

if there are any chief pilots out there that do a bit of hiring and firing, do you view loyalty to an employer as an admirable attribute, or do you not really care if your pilots are plane hoppers, doing 6 months at each place then hopping off to an outfit with bigger better planes?
Short stint in 1 job is OK but if you have never lasted more than 6 months in any job (without good reason - series of seasonal jobs or company went bust for example) you will hit the "Deleted" file.

Similarly, a personality clash with one Chief Pilot is OK but if you can't give me as referee every CP you have ever worked under (no, not your mate who was CP before you and gave you the job, or took over as CP after you) then it's the "Delete" file for you.

Everyone can find a Qantas pilot or a Virgin pilot they have never flown with as a "personal" referee - big whoop - but the CP is not hiring you to be personal, he's hiring you to fly.
