Had a prospective employer in Sarasota ready to hire me. I had worked for them for 6 weeks and had turned the flight ops around in this time. Written manuals and everything.

They then said "well, we already paid for the testing so we would like you to go there and sit down with the shrink and do the testing." I know the operation they were talking about and its a sham, trying to say that they filter people for the top operations by making everyone go through their testing. Cost per person was $10,000...

At the same time another start up ops that I really wanted to work with called me and said "come on down to Scottsdale Arizona" so I went to the first company and asked if they really wanted me to do this testing after 6 weeks working with them. Answer was yes, we spent the money so you have to do this.

I handed them my keys and uniform and said "sorry but I have another ops who wants to hire me without going to a shrink for an interview. If you do not know what type of person I am after spending 6 weeks working with me, then we do not need to work together in the first place" and went home.

Sorry but as an official old fart in the last throes of my career I do not need to put up with this chit. Am not a chainsaw killer and do not chase little boys or girls like Dot. You want to run me through loads of tests you will see me walk out the door on the way elsewhere...
