Romansandal,
No such rumour circulating the Eagle's Nest at the moment that I know of.... but as a guess it maybe they are advertising a management position, as 1 of the management pilots has apparantly resigned to go to Dragonair in August (that's not confirmed/official yet either!). They took an age to get this guy to sign on as a Managment pilot and that was after advertising externally in the local mainstream newspapers. Maybe they predict similar trouble recuiting such a person and have gone international in their search???
