I say you lot are a ghastly rabble, I thought you were all keen chaps who were eager to help out their "betters".
I think that my post may have been somewhat misconstrued, what I meant to say was I DEMAND a job. Not on one of those petty 737's, at least one with four big engines so Daddy can be proud.
Tally ho!

How dare you call me ghastly. Do you know who I am?
Petty 737? My father has one with gold leaf livery and wheels made of the dried skin of rare and exotic birds. No expense is spared as far as my family are concerned.
Yours sincerely

I have heard a rumour that the airlines can't find anyone with a current A380 type rating, surprising that.
Not only 4 engines but they are big buggers too. Maybe thats the opportunity you have been waiting for old bean.

An A380 hey... hmmm, one doesn't know anyone with an A 3 8 0 as you call it. Besides, I'm assured by Alfred that its French and my blood would reject such a poorly designed aircraft.
Off with you scallywag Northern flyer!
expedite_descent is it a powered glider then?

Henry old chap, what on earth are you doing?
Those airliner contraptions are damned dangerous things. The airconditioning alone means you could end up catching untold numbers of ailments from the commoners in the cargo hold. Not only that but I have even heard the pilot is not allowed wine with their meal!
Certainly these machines stand in the face of progress. First class is full of "self made" people who think money brings class and there is nowhere for the butler to iron undergarments.
The last thing a person of your status should be doing is travelling by public transport system and then driving the damned machine yourself. Where have your standards and morals gone. Have you gone Liberal Democrat, or worse, is your blue blood running red with New Labour. I think you need to look long and hard at yourself, before you do something you regret. Who knows, at this rate, you will probably even declare all of your assets to the tax man, not just those he needs to know about.
Forget the pathetic idea of driving a plane as any working class oik can manage that. If your daddy didn't want to support you then he wouldn't be rich now would he?

Obs cop I'm thinking of reporting you to a moderator (what ever one of those is) for suggesting that for one minute that I, Henry the ninth would be in bed with Mr Blair and his wrinkly old cabinet full of lesbians (including Mr Brown!).
ps What is a tax man? Does he take the bins away or something?

With this new locked door policy how would the staff get in with the silver service at lunchtime ? These manufacturers have no consideration at all. Alas the A380 is French but it comes with a free case of wine if you oredr one before the end of the year.
Perchance you are Henry the fourth or have you been promoted ?

What you need to do is go into rumours and news and post a message with your predicament there. I'm sure you will get a good few replies with offfers of people who will have you. But you must explain how you already have an A380 type rating and 50K+ hours.

Sir Henry, why would you even pay lip service to those ghastly Frenchie Airbus contraptions.
I can offer you a specially modified stretched Spitfire Mark XX. It holds up to 20 guests and the seats are upholstered in the hide of recently culled Dalmation.
I took the oppurtunity to have a grand stand fitted aft so that the Royal Marines Band can enterrain your guests as they flit through the sky.
It is a truely magnificent machine.
I have had the machine guns and cannons restored to the wings so you can shoot at any Oiks who cross your path.
I am prepared to let you have it for free as you have obviosly had a tough life and need a break.
Dont worry about flying it yourself as I have contracted Prince Phillip to fly it for you. One has to be careful not to have someone with a higher public status than oneself flying them.
I am forever your obedient Servent Sir

Well done chap! You know your place amongst men such as myself of which there are few I can assure you.
I shall honourably accept the Spitfire if the Prince will stop wearing that hideously cheap aftershave at £200 a bottle, truely cheap.
Good day

Henry old chap,
It appears that you have come to a certain crossroads of your aviation career - don't be disheartened old boy for we have the careers advice for all eventualities here. I am sure that all some lesser mortals responding to a simple demand for priority treatment are in fact masquerading as struggling working class while pursuing similar tactics themselves. We all know correctly applied pressure in a certain handshake achieves results, equally as well as pursuing the young female offspring of such industry movers and shakers
I have here in front of me a motivational letter from one Sqn Ldr Flashheart to an unknown recipient. It begins "Darling; don't despair; times are hard at the moment and although it won't calm you to learn of the big push which I have planned, I assure you that it will be excitable for you once I remove my flying suit...."...apologies, but that is not the letter I had in mind....
Have you considered the Royal Air Force? Certainly in my experience they could do with boys like us - I have heard the phrase "attitude of a single-seat jockey" bandied around a bit at the flying club when I reminise to fellow members my days on the University Air Squadron - that preserve of fine manners and refined personalities at the top of the food chain. I like that desciption of myself.
At Harrow, they always taught me that in having to walk across the room with a freshly-toasted hot cross bun between my pale cheeks, I would be absolved from having to gain experience in any field before becoming the best of the best. Now I hear that these 'modular schools' not only teach the hot cross bun trick but encourage towel-whipping as well. I say enforce the class structure, as Britain is going down the pan as a result.
God forbid when they get a chip on their shoulder about having had to do time in one of those frightful turboprops, or we will be stuffed. Someone once told me that this had already happened. I say divide and rule and at least while there are squat all jobs, and I'll keep making my cash at Deloitte - come join me!
Cheerio now!

Well the only lord I know who is trying to be an Airline Pilot as just been done up in Wick for shagging under aged ladies.
The fact that the young lady was proberly more mature than the ginger lord has quiet rightly been ignored.
Bit shocking though as his dad is still on the Privy council of the ANO.

Henry, I mean Sir(how dare I address you like that)
It is a great laugh that you have started this post. You do have a great sense of humour, especially in times like this.
Keep up the good work????(What’s that?)
GTM
PS I have a suggestion, right honourable gentleman. Why don’t you start an Airline yourself?
