Friends in the abode tell me that 3/6 were successful at the first stage and have been invited to HKG for a second interview.
I also believe that another 6 have been told to expect their interviews in a few months time.
The question is, will RBA wait until they can't fly the schedule due shortage of pilots or will they actually do something sensible with Terms and Conditions to try to stop the rot.
Doh! Silly me, Stupid Question.
