Regarding the old blokes should get out to make way for the young ones argument - I always wonder how many of the people that say this will give up their careers when they're +55 to altruistically donate their job to some worthy up and comer - Put my family into poverty - No Problem.
Regarding Jetgo, it's not that I didn't get the answer I expected, I didn't get the reason I expected, and I certainly didn't expect to get threatened with an industry wide Blackban. My "atitude" as you call it was a result of their email after their denying my application. Do you think I applied saying "Give me a job or I'll sue you".
One hour sectors half OCTA - You should try 20 minute sectors doing domestic flying in an A320, training a new cadet, through a Polish winter where the vis hardly gets above 800m. Just business as usual.
Finally, sour grapes, yes as I said in my initial post, and the dirty laundry, who does that belong to?
