If it's not a wind up, then it's your English I would be worrying about, not your height

Nah.......gotta be a wind up

Soumaya,

Don't worry a bit, my friend.

The Pride of English Speaking Canada
, Mr. Mensa Boy, is living proof that one can be 5' 5" tall and get hired at EK. A Napoleonic personality and prickly inability to deal with even the most innocuous correction or constructive criticism have been demonstrated to be of no hindrance as well.

If you are a marginally educated troll who gets most of his information from those dreadful Canadian "news" magazines, again no problem. Simply declare yourself to be that rarest of men, a certified "genius" among the lumpen, and begin posting away on the EK PPrune forum. From time to time, the moderators may be forced to give you a psycho vacation from the boards, but it's all in good fun. In time, you'll be welcomed back by popular demand, or so you may choose to imagine.

The emotionally fragile munchkin is fiercely proud of his homeland, and is certain that his French countrymen share that love. No doubt they see their Anglophone comrades as an enormous pool of Mensa candidates. Mr. Boy would appreciate any reinforcement you may be able to offer on these matters, so please join in. Take great care, however, to avoid even the most gentle slight. The Little Sizzler could very well have a stroke on the spot, and you wouldn't want to be responsible for that, would you?

When not posting on PPrune, Mr. Boy can be found tending to his extensive photo collection, which tastefully pays tribute to his brilliant pre-EK career as a light-twin pilot in such challenging, high density environments as Manitoba and Saskatchewan. With any luck, Soumaya, you will one day meet this renowned Einstein of Aviation.

Welcome Aboard!

You guys need to get a life! I vote that we send you both to a pub, give you a couple of beers and duke it out like real men. This forum is like road rage, tough guys in the comfort of their cars; get them out and there nothin but a bunch of pussy's. It's easy to be tough behind the anonymity of this forum.

Good humor but so much for the merits of the psych eval at EK....Can you please identify yourselves so my family can make alternative flight arrangements...

Soumaya,

I take it you are applying as a Flight Attendant.

This section is almost all pilots, so you would be better off asking your question on the Cabin Crew Forum.

I would also like to appologise for my idiot collegues who took a simple, polite question and turned it into the above display of stupidity.

Best of luck.

Good luck Soumaya. On this forum it is unfortunately unmoderated and your question got lost in the vitriol of idiots with nothing better to do.

DENY climate change........... Start a new war every 15 years........................ let me repeat that one............... START A NEW WAR EVERY 15 YEARs !!!!!!!!!!!
