Interview suit a'la fractionals..

[flyzimex]

Dark suits are professional and businesslike. I have worn dark green and gotten hired. Red/maroon ties are considered power ties. Just start looking at how many politicians and businessmen wear the combination (like President Bush and Donald Trump).

Well, in that case you can trust me NOT to wear a red tie..

You could always bring your political feelings into the interview conversation. I am sure they would remember that much longer than what color tie you are wearing. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Wasn't really planning on it. And it's not like it's really needed. No secret most people disagree with him and his doings. American or not..

Think tasteful and conservative, like how the owners want to see their crews.

flyzimex,

Sorry to digress here, but I feel I should step up (as a career American soldier) and say something in regard to your reply to RCR5.

'Most people' didn't and don't know what was going on in the mideast while I and others were fighting in this war. 'Most people' don't realize that most soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors really like President Bush and support him. Why? Because he really likes us, supports us and shares alot of the same ideals as we do. He stands up and faces the music for his decisions and doesn't pander to Hollywood and the media.

I have been deployed over to the mideast for this war and saw first hand how the media machine shaped popular opinion on President Bush and this war. It was shameful. But you and others drank it in and why shouldn't you have? You didn't know any better, you were drinking the kool aid the media was serving you. I, and thousands of others saw first hand the progress we were making even though the media wasn't reporting it that way. While my friends were dying and I and others were being willingly put in harms way for our beliefs and those of our country, we watched as popular opinion was being shaped by the media machine both in the States and Europe. The truth didn't matter.

I don't hold you accountable for any of it. You are just one of the sheep. I only ask you drink from many different glasses so you get the real story. Alot of my country men are sheep. They will follow most anything the media feeds them. We are still the greatest country in the world. When people like you and others come here to take our jobs and money, it supports this statement.

So what do you really know? If you have not been there, just what the media tells you.

'Our' country has come back from the worst attack it has ever suffered. Our economy is doing better than most would have ever thought it could have at this point after an attack such as 9-11. The aviation community is coming back and people are being hired. All under President Bush. So if you don't like his tie, that is fine. If you don't like him and want to make a statement like you did on this board, in front of me and others who do like him, be prepared to be called out.

I hope you get the job. I REALLY do. Best of luck to you.

Thanks 7777..

My wife is an Air Force VA and I just spent two days this past week waiting with her to get treatment at the local VA hospital here. I'm sure you have visited one and it's not a pleasant or joyful place to be at. If I had served my country and was coming back to that kind of treatment I would be more than disappointed.

On a side note though, I'm not sure all Europeans are happy when they have to compete with Americans when they cross the pond wishing to take advantage of the strong Euro/weak dollar and generally better terms of employment.

I have a JAR license, and FAA obviously, and I chose to come here trying to make myself a good life. I think flying in the US is great and I am looking forward to soon be back in US airspace.

With that being said, I did not come here to offend Americans. If I did I do apologize.

It isn't a perfect country flyzimex but people are not leaving it to go to a better country.

Again, best of luck in your interview. I hope you get the job.

For someone who has traveled many parts of the world, and lived in several different countries I know there is no such thing as a perfect country. Some are better than others, and the US definitely belongs in the first category.

[7777]

As a person who has lived on almost every continent in this world, I agree.

Wow, I think I just saw a first. Two people with differing views on a subject exchanged messages on FI without calling each other names and talking about each other's mothers. I am on FI, right?

Way to go, you two. 7777, thanks for your service. My family and I sincerely appreciate the sacrifice both you and your family have made.

FZ, good luck.

Respect for other's views can go a long way.. More of that and this place would be a lot better for everyone. Just my .02..

I agree and it is people like flyzimex that have come to this country and helped made it the greatest country in the world. We don't all have to agree but we do all have to get along and support our leaders and military when we are attacked.

Freedom isn't free. Good men and women have died for us to keep it. Americans that realize this and do what needs to be done to become a good or better American are honoring them all.

 

[RCR5]

A black suit, blue tie and white shirt worked for me flyzimex. Best of luck to you. I am sure you will do well.

Hear hear, 7777. Nicely said and thanks for your service.

Your comments are supported by the almost total lack of media coverage on the success of the surge and subsequent 80% drop in violence across Iraq. The depth of coverage normally does not go deeper than reporting the death toll from the most recent car bomb or IED. As a result, the average American, not to mention the average citizen of other countries, does not understand how vital the success in Iraq is to our national security.

FZ, When I began posting here in 2004 it was much worse, and I made regular appeals for civility across the board amidst sexist remarks and complaints because a non-pilot/wife dared to post in the frac forum. Thankfully those, here, who have an open-mind (and good manners) outnumber those who don't. Now I am treated with respect by most of the board members (posters like B19 are an example of the past) and many have come to appreciate (some politely tolerate.. ) the perspective I bring to the discussion. I value the camaraderie I have found here (thanks guys!) and I believe that the frac forum is becoming a friendly online community. Appreciation for respect furthers that goal.
Regards,
NJW
