Medwin,

The are very short of pilots NOW and are more concerned with getting flights in the air on a daily basis and the situation now is due the short sightedness of MAS flight ops management(or lack of it). Giving you an interview now will not solve there present problems and you will be good to go only in about 2 years for operations(less if you already have a licence of course)...also things work in slow motion in MAS so just hold your breath and hang in there... maybe try AA, probably call you a day after you apply

****aro9,

Flights are delayed on a daily basis and its normal for 7 to 10 flights to be without crew everyday.No delays buddy, its called re scheduled!I was told most flights on the 747 go with 3 to 4 captains on the long haul routes(some of whom have already busted their yearly hours)
