Beacuse he wants a second opinion from people working at the company or ex Ryr pilots.
I never would accept such contract because in months you work they aré going to program your roster and push you to the limit. Be sure of that, specially in bases like Malaga, Palma...
Don't let some people of this forum intimidate you, it is a practice well learned from some companies staff, bullying.
Just feel free to ask ✌��
