Bloody hell....

I shake my head as well.

In any case if anyone is making decisions on which airline to accept today based on either innuendo, perceived promises or just good advice they are nuts.

We have FO's who have declined to accept their initial Command because it would involve a base transfer or commuting. Their prerogative and for the most part they live happily with their decision.

My point is that they did not join Virgin (Blue) thinking that it was a Brisbane 737 Command or nothing.

They accepted the position that was offered and made the decisions as they eventuated.

Girlfriends came and went, Wives came and went, families came and went, and Command aspirations came and went.

Must be nice for the current crop of aspirants to be able to juggle the various Command time possibilities and decide which Airline to work for.

For me I took the first one that offered me a job.

Just a bit of advice to some.....Take a reality check today.
