Well said!!
Penworth,
I am not going to get involved in this ‘Handbag’ session (good point MK), and as it wasn’t intentional there’s no problem (Diddler).
It is, however guys/gals, an insulting comment……no we don’t all listen to Daniel (can’t stand him actually), drink Guinness (if only !!!), live in Thatch houses (don’t know anyone who actually owns one) or
'sit around all day in a balaclava with my trusty AK plotting the destruction of the evil British Empire'
Pembroke, the point which you so obviously have missed, is that the comment may be, and actually is offensive, and I’m not the only one to think so.
Therefore if more than one person thinks its offensive wouldn’t be wise not to make such comments ?????
Anyway it’s done and dusted now, Pembroke if I need to ‘chill’ then you need to read the content of what’s actually been written and THINK how other people may react.
And in the words of Diddler:
‘let's all realise its a global market and we're all just going to have to get on with each other!’
Well said !!!!

Diddler, good luck with the interview. My advice to you however, would be to go in with a far more relaxed attitude than what you're finding in this forum and I am sure you'll do fine.
Look - if someone wants to call me a sheep bothering cottage burning welsh windbag midget then I've beaten them to it.
Thick skins are required on PPRuNe and always have been. Complaints to moderators on this matter are falling on deaf ears.

Scenic and Approach
Wasn't going to get involved with this one but as i have lived and worked in ireland i would just like to inform you that MJR comments were not a fraction of the anti British abuse i took in Ireland.
I lived there for 18 months and it was quite an experience to see the vitriol and hatred that exists within your country towards the "Brits".
Some people had a what i considered a balanced view on the "Past Present and Future" Troubles but most were quite vocal on thier thoughts of the "Cause" and that was from the lowest of the low to the highest of the high.
Diddlers reaction to typical British humour was typically Irish ie not fully understanding it though our humours are quite similar.
The quip about AK47 and balaclava was probably just that but the "Evil British Empire" probably came from slightly deeper down.
It's ok for an Irish man to make a joke about the Brits in Ireland but not for the Brits about the Irish in Britain.
Anycase back to the jist of the original post
Good luck Diddler i hope the you get the job, by all acounts CityJet is a good company to work for and you get to live in Paris.
But remember this you will come across all sorts in this job different races, religions, nationalitys and characters and being able to rise above it is an art form which i learnt in Ireland.

hi guys,
i originally posted about a cityjet interview, if the post was hijacked, it was not by me. what i did say was that its an international market which has no time for people holding grudges. when you're sitting at the pointy-end ,the chap beside you may well be a 'thick paddy' or an 'evil brit'! if thats what you think they are, its your problem and only your problem!
now can we stop this silly nonsense?
are we agreed??
a chara

Couldn't agree more Diddler but i think an important lesson has been learnt here.
No matter what your opinions and beliefs are hold unto them until your sure the other guy or gal thinks the same and just be careful what you say.
This industry is smaller than a virgins little black book. Word gets around easily and the last thing you want is a bad name.
One again good luck and let us all know how you get on.
Toodle pip old chap.

How did the post that started asking about interviews descend into comments about irishman. It just shows that most people who use this are abunch of *******, bull****ting wankers who have no chance of getting a job and are bitter towards the ones that do.
Thank you
Thank you

Just to clarify:
I do apologise to Diddler if my comments were considered offensive.
I am not racist
It would be futile for me to have an anti-Irish attitude especially when I have applied for jobs with City Jet, Aer Aerann and Air Contractors.
I have many friends from the Republic of Ireland who all display an excellent sense of humour, which I mistakingly thought was a characteristic of Irish Folk.
To my detriment I actually condone the attitude of may Irish airlines recruting their own nationals ahead of anyone else if that is the case. Its a shame that English airlines cant do the same and say bollocks to the EU employment law. (I'm sure I just opened a can of worms there, but I dont care)
Once again diddler good luck.
approachcontrol did you note who actually said this "'sit around all day in a balaclava with my trusty AK plotting the destruction of the evil British Empire' Are you reading this posting in the correct context?
Scenic learn to spell, especially in upper case
Everyone else, have a nice day!

You people getting so worked about nationality jokes won't be too much fun on flight deck. I certainly would dread flying with such touchy, self-righteous individuals. You might also consider whether getting so wound up over what is clearly a non-event is a good trait for a pilot to possess.
For the record, Cityjet is far from recruiting only Irish nationals, we also have:
French (the biggest grouping I'd say)
English
Scottish
Welsh
Northern Irish
German
New Zealander
Australian
Swedish
Danish
Icelandic
Faroese
Swiss
Libyan
Dutch
Belgian
South African
Latvian
Philipino
And probably a few more who ive forgotten
Diddler
What you got in your interview sounds fairly standard.

Sat same psycho tests for assessment recently. Top tip - get hold of The Times Testing Series Volume One (Psychometric Tests). Very good for getting your mind in the right mode. I would not have passed my assessment without this disk.
Also revise alegbra, sim equations, long multiplication and division.
Best of luck
