First Officer for Sale on Ebay (for free!!)
 

I'm all for people using their noggins to better their career prospects, but this has surely gone too far!

This guy is offering his services for free:ugh:.........

I sympathise - been made redundant twice before, horrible place to be, but prostituting yourself is not only degeading, but gives our Airlines even more leverage to chip away at our already ever decreasing T&C's.

Mate, whoever you are, get it off ebay and good luck with the continued search for a job.

Yes, i am a fully qualified Boeing 737 first officer that cannot find a job due to this stupid credit crunch- i am offering myself to you to fly Boeing 737 aircraft for free. I will happily work for anyone anywhere at anytime. Danger zones....not a problem.

I am 22, ridiculously good looking and have a great CV that will blow your socks off.

Trained at a top integrated flying school in the UK.

Any questions drop me an email.

Sense of humour failure perhaps? :)

...anyway, I'll start worrying when it's the companies that start flogging their vacancies on eBay :bored:

If it's not a joke, he's dead meat... Moreover it is illegal...

He IS good looking though LOL

What a cheap tart this guy is!! In fact he is an absolute bitch!

Lets face it, we're all prostituting ourselves our services out for a price but to give it away for free??!! No way!!

He looks a bit like that Welsh cock that won Big Brother whenever it was. Hmmmm!

He has got exactly what he wanted to achieve. To be noticed and everybody talking about him.
As for good looking ? His charm excells his natural beauty:p

Surely, please God, this has to be a joke.

However I did train with someone who placed an advert in the back of Flight International a few years back. He was willing to work for free. Was told he got nothing from it, did an SSTR and still found no work. I believe he is still jobless. It's a funny old thing that I have little sympathy for him.

Usual story, had far too much of Daddy's money, not enough brains and a personality which sorely lacked any subsidance. Maybe he is related to this **** on ebay?

Hope his mummy and daddy are pleased for him (who prob payed for it all) , :mad:

Perhaps the chap in question is actually applying some well deserved sarcasm?

This ebay entry is certainly 'news worthy' and might raise the publics awareness of the 'pay to fly' rot that destroys peoples jobs.

ATP Schemes and the like have become the established norms, and I don't know how to get them back in their box. Lid welded shut!

Equally, until these schemes are scrubbed the low hour folks have very few obvious choices. These schemes are 'percieved' the established ( if not proven ) way to the flight deck door.

Perhaps in the public 'spotlight' this culture of 'pay to fly', pay for your rating and work for free, etc will be shamed into submission.

Is he selling his arse as well? - got to be careful, binding contracts etc.;)
Maybe some fat hairy Russian from Siberia who hasn't had any for ages will win har har!

Airhead, I'd never employ him.............:=

Has anyone 'dropped him an email.'

Email
 

If he is a Ppruner, which I suspect he probably is, then I think he might have got the message.
Well he is a PRUNE :ugh:

Rgds

CL747

He's ended his listing early - maybe someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse, or did he read his emails and PPRUNE!

I wouldn't employ him on the grounds that he cannot write grammatical English.

got to ask the question, why were you looking for a first officer on ebay in the first place?

I wouldn't employ him on the grounds that he is a div.

Im not too hot on his morals but give the guy credit, no one here has thought of that.
