Best Company to work for? (your dream job!)
Just for a change, lets talk about something positive?
Lets not concentrate on how "hard" or "impossible" it to get job. How some pilots pay4work etc.
If you could pick a company to work for/attend interview, which one would it be and why?

This isnt quite on par with what the thread is about, however on a positive note, I must add these comments.
I spent 5 fantastic years in Bmi, and in May of this year experienced the Bmi to BA transition course as a result of the IAG buy out. As great as Bmi was in terms of a place to work, the welcome we have received at BA has been outstanding. The transition was hard work, but smooth, and have spent the last 6 months really enjoying working for Airways, and enjoying the benefits.
I fully appreciate the hardship involved with getting in to BA for experienced pilots and cadets, but once you are in, its a great place to be and I feel very lucky.
All the best guy/girls.

Dream job = Nothing to do with "effective tax rates", legislation, spreadsheets, structure charts, meetings, blah blah blah. Nothing to do with all nighters in the office, backstabbing colleagues, clients, billing, etc.
A job that allows me to indulge my passion for flying rather than just dreaming about it on another gloomy London day.
An office with a better view.

But quality of life is -IMHO- better in Down Under and wages aren't that bad, probably even higher. Anyway, it's not about money, but I am just in love with that country...

In today's market - one of the bush operators in Africa. Stunning views, 'real' flying, overnights at some of the worlds best game reserves, it's perfect......
Failing that BA will do nicely.

Its quite hard to pay back to the banks and support family with bush-flying in Africa. But everyone is at different situation, so Im sure for many people it is a dream job!
