chrian_dk. Please tell me English is not your first language. If it is not, then very well done that you are managing to be a numpty in not just your own language but someone else's too - a noteworthy achievement. Given your propensity to be right, as you have so eruditely informed us, it may come as a terrible shock to find that everyone you fly with does not quite agree with you. Indeed, difficult as it is to believe, I personally know people who would go back to Uncle Michael tomorrow rather than stay at NAS. This is mainly due to being told one day that tomorrow they were going on 3 month's unpaid leave as they had too many pilots. Just the kind of company everyone loves to work for. But as you say, you would kick anyone in the whatsits who disagrees, so you must be right. You are not a manager at NAS perchance are you? If not you seem to have all the personal skills required for such an illustrious and respected position - you really should give it a go as it may be just up your street.

Regarding easyJet not taking experienced pilots, it is not true. What is true is that they have not taken non-rated pilots in any numbers for years. They have this year taken a whole host of DECs to LGW (about 15-20 I believe) and a further number to new bases at OPO, LIS and NAP. All were very experienced Airbus pilots who did not find it necessary to falsify their hours downwards in order to get the job.

Regarding Jet2, I too am a former employee, albeit a number of years ago. I can only concur with A and C that it is one of the least attractive jet jobs in the UK.
