Having worked for some great people and companies and some of the worst I can tell you that over 10 years ago I did goto indoc with a company for about one week, until I realized what am I doing here. And thinking back now I can't remember if that was 1997 or 1998 and what month? No idea.
I also knew I did some work for a guy that had a Sabre 60 and wasn't even typed (he later got his ticket revoked) I wasn't typed either but was never informed that he wasn't until he ran the plane off the runway at PNE and had to have one of his company cranes come to remove it.
Did I even get paid from him? I have no idea becauSe it was around 2003 and I don't remember.
Do you see where I am going with this? No one wants to lie on an application. But if one can't honestly rem when, and even if they got paid and then puts it down incorrectly.....
10 years is more than sufficient and again I don't know of any other airlines that ask you that far back
I know you're trying to keep this positive, but you're thinking about things all wrong. Did I have a few internal 'omg why do i have to do all this' thoughts while going through the application process? Of course, I think we all do. The thing is you're getting all worked up over it, and it's something you can't change so why bother? You might find training to be the same, maybe there will be things that will bother you and you can choose to nod your head, smile and do it like you're told, or you can explain how they're teaching it wrong and why your way is better. Do you see where I'm going with this?
