not being nasty but 2500hrs there is something stopping them getting an airline job.

Yes , MJ , i would love to agree and accept your statement , but i would say that this instructor was or is probably over 35 with 2500 hrs?

I have even more hours than that and have every instructor rating that the CAA can put on your licence , BUT I am late 40s and no airline wants you at that age.

In fact when I applied to Ryanairs recruiter OAA , they actually spent the time and money to call me via phone in Germany to tell me that they thought I was a good candidate for them , but RYR said no thanks!!

In the first few seconds of that call I actually thought i was going to be invited for a selection…..to be then cruelly deflated!!!

But , its good to hear that there maybe a upcoming shortage of fully qualified FIs in Blighty , as I wouldn't mind moving back at some stage!!

regards

Jessie
