What a loss!

£42m lost at The Organic Farm and associated businesses since conception. Wow!! (Telegraph. Business News.)
Could have financed another G550 for that!!
Stick to making the yellow perils.

I'll bet that's made the earth move for a certain someone.
Must have been like pouring (mineral) water down the drain.......
Not many private companies can hold a (scented) candle to that sort of a loss.

Is JCB currently looking for pilots or is it a pretty closed shop?

JCB

From my understanding the Revolving door has spun yet again and accepting new recruits at the tractor factory.
For all who try its possibly OK for a while, however if your thinking of being the chief pilot or a captain its only a title you will be told and demanded what to do including attending the dancing digger party by the chief princess.

Ensure you know how to use the Jump seat and seat belts

Should read : 'How many pilots have been employed?'

Beware - Only sycophants survive!

Don't expect to be landing at Woodford. It's gone pear shaped if local rumours are to be believed.

Bearhunter. Your posts presented as fact are not verifiable and "quite simply" plain wrong. Perhaps you no longer have your mole in the department?

I know one, non rated, quite experienced guy who got a "Thanks but no thanks" back from them about a week or two after he applied. Not sure but I think that was about 4-6 weeks ago.

Perhaps these people are not bitter, just telling the truth; perhaps these people have a right to be bitter.

Have heard nothing at all - some common courtesy wouldn't go amiss!
