How to express that in a group and on your own is completley down to yourself. You need to use good vocabulary, get your points accross quick, clean and with minimal jabber. Personal Hygene is a must. Imagine having bad breathe at an interview. Or even worse. In the cockpir. [I've been there, longest hour of my life] Be a team player. But not that much a team player you dont make any points for yourself. Be in control but not controlling. P.S. I am not in the know.

And got them to use first names in cockpit. No more Sir. The ex military problem is becoming increasingly problematic in eastern countries now particular china, korea and turkey.

However, some of you may have seen on another thread that there is an applicant who has been called to stge 3 who basically said that on his application he stated he did not have a legal right to work in the E.U., and that he "didn't really fill up" the results part of the education section. A little disappointing to hear.

There is an overwhelming sense of negativity around this cadetship being especially echoed from the comments of some on this forum. I'm sorry but XWB writes like someone in his 20's with the mental maturity of someone in his late teens. After reading his completely insensitive and at times downright derogatory comments with reference in particular to his callous comments about mentally handicapped people and his whole "shagging rant" I would say he is far from the retired captain he has made himself out to be! .
XWB wrote: » Right I stepped back when Bearcat did it, and have not risen to other people's jibes, but I have to just say that this above is a gross misrepresentation of what I said! This process is insensitive and Aer Lingus will show much less mercy and compassion than I have here! If you dont like what I am saying that is fine, but it is the way things are within Aer Lingus! I made no derogatory comments about anyone and anybody with a decent grasp of the English language will not see the word "handicapped" and jump on the PC wagon. Let me tell you the word "shag" has been in use since well into the last century and was a corner stone of the Aer Lingus pilot's vocab book! I seem to be coming under attack from some "accounts"(I have a suspicion they may be the same poster) of late and it all started when the emails were sent. So if people have a problem with what I tell them about the inner workings dont just have a go at me...go tell Aer Lingus! Dont shoot the messenger!
