Flashy,
'Training First Officer etc.' - oh dear, do stop it old chap - its just SO very embarassing. I was going to get a kebab tonight but I now feel sick...........
I'm not sure if you're deliberately being a cock to raise some laughs; if so then great because its hilarious - if not then you're letting yourself down I'm afraid.
Custard or cream with your slice of humble pie sir?

Flashy demonstrates the usual low level of CRM skills that I know so well amongst ex-mil pilots in FR. The same level of CRM that is only matched by the extraordinary arrogance level that tries to, but comphrehensively fails, to cover up the general lack of ability to operate 2 crew passenger transports.
Perhaps, Flashy, you'd like to study how such general arrogance and self-importance has contributed to so many incidents. A good case study to start with would be the famous Delta audit of Korean Airlines. I refer you in particular to the portion of blame for the low standards laid at the door of incompetent ex-mil pilots.
And yes, I am aware you are a wind-up.

Lord f......t you are exactly the reason that people like me, who have been asked by BA to apply, will definately not. I would rather starve than spend 8-12 hours in the cockpit with you. I have flown with people that have probably got more hours on top of the loop than you and yet they remain humble and agree that they will will never stop learning.

What did they do call your mobile or pop round for a cup of tea?
Yeah right.
Plus if you can't see through such a blatant wind up you are way too stupid to get in anyway.

Boooring!
PS - N_N. They have taken to writing to, and then if they get no response; phoning up previous candidates who were marginal last time. Unfortunately the "I'm alright Jack" fat cats have let the deal for new recruits become so unattractive that many like CHAF and myself need have little hesitation in declining. I agree it's a bloody obvious wind up though.

Why is it on here when anyone posts something that is true but not necessarily popular it is branded a "wind up", to use peoples' vulgar populist phrase?
Normal _Nigel. You are in no position to criticise anyone given your appalling views and the fact you haven't had the benefit of RAF training.
I see you are a BA cpatain. The fact you are and the fact I am not despite my obvious superior experience, illustrates what is wrong with civilian seniority based airlines.
Enhanced seniority for ex- Forces pilots is the only way to restore the rightful balance.

I take it Flash will wind his neck in when he gets a command.
Someone do us all a favour and promote him - at least to give the rest of us some peace.
Alternatively, does the Air Force want him back?

Nice one Flashy.
I still think you are a wind up, although I have seen an attitude close to yours on a few occasions.
You certainly fit the bill.
Bitter, ex-forces and management/training at the first oppurtunity because your ego can't take it.
However you are definately a wind up.

LF is a charlatan. He won't answer my question, I am assuming, because to do so, would be to fabricate a lie. His grammar and sentence construction gives him away as never having worn the rank of an officer.
Any amusement from his posts is diminishing with every monotonous posting. His charade is pathetic.

Great answer Flt Lt The Lord Flasheart; if you had told them about your time on the VC-10, L-1011 and the C-17 they would have been incandescent with rage.
At least by telling the world that you were on the Hawk and the Harrier you have removed all doubts that your experience is far in excess of anything that BA could possibly produce.
You should certainly expect at least 15 years of notional seniority in BA. Good luck; I only got 10 years notional seniority when I left and joined civil aviation.
Let's face it, it is money for old rope. I can't remember when I was last required to exceed 30° of bank. Most of the lesser mortals that I have to fly with would have no idea how to recover from a spin on limited panel.
Come to think of it, most of them have never actually had to do a spin!
