Actually, flightleader's post (whether intentional or not) was exactly the kind of experience I've had with MAS so far.
I'm currently employed in the HR department of an MNC that had US$2billion net profit last year, and we treat even potential janitors with a lot more respect than what I've received from MAS recruiting staff.
(To anyone who thinks I'm bragging, I hold an extremely, extremely junior position that has long hours, pays peanuts and is terribly un-glamorous, I'm only trying to illustrate that despite our size our policy when hiring is to give due respect to anybody who applies, which is apparently too much to ask for from our MAS' counterparts).
