I didn't get it by sitting on my but though, nor did I not take the three day interview very seriously.

And as with 80kts, my roster is very nice. I fly longhaul so I drive the 55 minutes to work three to four times per month. The rest of my driving is to the local surf break.

But. . .nobody handed me this mate. Just like nobody handed it to the guys and gals at FedEx, Continental, Air Canada, SWA or any of the many other very good operators in North America. You want it, quit making bloody excuses and go get it. And it likely won't happen tomorrow, but it'll happen. . .man, you got me sounding like one of those wankers on TV.
