.... If you say you have a pilot's license it instantly communicates you have moxy, skill, confidence, drive, and focus, and that you intend to do a better job.
You are correct sir. It has gotten me into my current endeavor after one brief question on the intitial interview and beyond.
They have stressed working saftey to most but told me that being a pilot they were sure I knew all about that.
After proving myself initially where I am at there are also many old time supervisors that can not multi task. When my immediate supervisor retired close to two years ago they have not replaced him and I can go several months without seeing the man in charge of me nor talking to him. When I do hear from him it is to remind me to cross the t's and dot the I's on paperwork.
