Command - how much do you really want one??
Heard through the grapevine a few weeks ago about a recent intake DJ F/O that went to someone in authority and enquired as to what is taking him so long to get a command (6 months or thereabouts)!
He was quite disturbed about the slow progression, which combined with his considerable experience should almost automatically assure him of a left hand seat!!
The management pilot (a thorough gentleman apparently) then was very polite and told this person that he was in a position to offer him an immediate command - in Melbourne!
The obviously highly motivated command aspirant almost cried when confronted with the prospect of having to move interstate - and to Victoria no less.
Naturally this person declined the offer very sheepishly.
Now if you were the person that hands out promotions what would be your impressions about this person and if they are really motivated toward a command?
