The mind boggles!!!!!!!
I always thought that good poeple get to the airlines but is that a myth?
Hows this one? no names will be mentioned for obvious reasons.
I once had a worked with this person.
Took him 4 goes to get his instrument rating. eventually the examiner gave to him say you'll get eventually.
One day he turned up to work on a sunday morning more than a little hung over from saturday night. when Questioned by the senior instructor he said yes Im fine to fly. Famous last words. I gave him a charter job to which i had been asked personaly to do but as I was busy with students and he was the junior guy I handed the job to him. He goes flying with a student and finds out , No he wasn't fit to fly as he was throwing up all over his student.
Next thing he does. In another moment of testosterone encouraged stupidity and with the senior instructor at this flying school, he participates in the sexual assult of a 17 year old girl.
Next act of stupidity. He nearly has a mid air collision with a beech baron in the trianing area while the student was doing some basic I.F. Obviosly not looking out properly, can hapen to anyone. learn something from it.
What this one did, spoted the offending aircraft on the ground when he landed with the crew still there. Runs over starts arcing up with the other pilot and takes a swing at him. Then discovers that this person was th Chief inspector of the local Police station. Some how gets away with all three incidents.
He was subsquently get moved out to a regional town to aviod any more contraversy (one hopes)
Next thing, While checking out a new company pilot in a cessne 310 he decides in a moment of devine inspiration (or stupidity)to turn of not one but both of the fuel taps while on approach to land. What hapens next? engines stop 2 miles short of the runway, next thing written of aircraft. What sort of idiot would turn of both fuel tap on approach? if you are going to do something like that get a bit of altitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's he doing now????
got into an airline and is flying 737's
I know everyone scews up sometimes but this is something else.
There is hope for me yet.

and the surprise...
Well OF COURSE he's in an airline,
it's the only reason he's still alive.
And you know what the kicker is?? He would have blitzed the psyche questionnaire, HARR har har.

Hmmm....reversed quite fully.....that really does narrow it down to two operators for mine. The kiwi love child of the Australian flag carrier (last word in title Canucked...I'm sure you'll work out the rest) and of course the other Australian national domestic carrier. Both 73's, and both would require that one sponsors oneself for the privilege to pole said companies aluminium tubing through the Dunnunda and Godzone skies. Alas, tis a mystery.

robair, were you really pissed when you typed that? I hope so!

I am not defending anyone, but why on earth did YOU give him a charter (which you were asked personally to do) when he obviously appeared hung over, and then threw up all over his student?
Was it a charter as you stated, or instructing a student? Conflicting story.
Sour grapes??
"There is hope for me yet."
Maybe, but lift your game.

Well he should not of thrown up over his student. Everyone knows that if you do need to yawn in motion its either a stop and swallow or down the side in a bag out of view.
Then bull**** some crap about why you are "unwell" . Dont worry the student will be so far up their ass thinking about what glories are coming next that it would barely raise am eyebrow. And if it did you'd smack it down quick hard and spray stale piss in their face as you belch "what the Fark is wrong with you?"
Easy enough to wallow an aircraft round the circuit a bit on the nose especially if the student has double digit hours you're really along for the ride so just sit back and think about your recovery methods that night like why did you scare that nice young blonde off from the bar so quick was it my plastic personality? Dam if she was a student I could of stiched her up right there and then.

You are kidding your self if you believe that a Phsyc test solves this problem. I know guys with similar histories flying with A major Aus airline that DOES have phsyc tests.

Yep
PRECISELY RENURRP !!
Pysche test are next to pointless I believe. Mate of mine works for high-level exec placement group. Told me all about 'em over a few cold ones recently. How they're designed (he does it ), what they're looking for, how they're going to catch you out when telling pork-pies, and with a little of this insight ,you could be anyone you wanted to be on the day.
Now I know a lot of people have done the "Okay, today I'll tell 'em what I think they want to hear, 'cause last time I was honest, and I got shafted" or vice-versa, (myself included, several times), but there are ways to jump through that idiotic hoop. Of course, you may actually be one of the "born- to- fly" types and provided not a pathalogical liar /sociopath/high-time turbine Cpt
, probably get through.
Q:Looking for the right sorta chap to drive your balus??
A:Grab three or four of your best Captains and talk to the bugger for an hour.
'nuff said.

Good point Crossbleed! Sadly you seem to be exercising Common sense which something very scant within the fair shores of Oz. A quick check of referee's and past employment would also not go astray.
