What really makes me chuckle is when slippers introduce the 19 year old CTC wonder kids in their first ever job as "senior first officer ****** ***********". If only the travelling public knew!

Spicejetter, you sound rather bitter....... Passed over for selection?


Ps. Where did you get those talking slippers from?

SFO is 1500 hrs ATPL in France & Germany, 2500 ezy hrs in Italy and 2000 ezy hrs in UK.

As for showing off stripes at the front of the cabin, where else is someone meant to stand when waiting for the toilet?

Is it the cabin crews place to comment on age or job status of a pilot?
I certainly wouldn't comment on how many jobs the very young looking cabin crew has had, and the fact she hasn't had any prior medical or fire fighting experience.. nothing agains cabin crew, but pointing out that it isn't a CCs place to comment on a pilots status or vice versa.

P.s I have 3 stripes on my shoulder, but can't say I feel much different... but of course, now i'm "experience" I must be a god and not going to make any mistakes unlike my two stripe colleagues.... NOT.

Heard that this bloody CTC school is now providing cadets for Qatar Airways' RHS, because there are not enough experienced pilots on the market :eek:

:yuk:

Probably because everyone is leaving Qatar to join easyjet. Good to see we are getting some experienced F/O' s
