I was chatting to an ex British Calendonian Captain yesterday who wasn't aware of the current 'finding your first flying job' situation, he was horrified. It was interesting to hear his opinion on it. I know times have changed however it is a terrible shame that it can't be a level playing field considering we all have the same ticket in our hands when starting out.
I know money talks however paying 14K for a course certainly doesn't separate the men from the boys. Especially when we have already jumped through numerous hoops along the way.
I hope Flybe continue to recruit guys from all backgrounds, even those who haven't chosen to enrol on a course which isn't even reflected on your licence.
I have applied and am still waiting patiently for a call with my head held high.
