Times have certainly changed. I know I'll get scolded for saying this but this whole thread is full of pilots "considering" applying or working for KLM. Its seems to be generally based on a whats in it for me attitude. The queries about commuting!! Part time flying! How much money! Taxes! Do I need to speak Dutch! Wanting to know all the in and outs of the assessment stages and even the simulator program. Man up all of you, apply and see how far you get. On your own without adult supervision.
