Trainee pilot,
1: Recruitment day. I believe it is an informal interview followed by (days later) a sim.
2: Friendly company. Lots of young crews. There has been little action for 4 years, but things are now moving.
3: Rosters. Bone of contention. Lots of disruption as we are short of pilots this summer, however that should improve in future. There is a lifestyle working group working on block rosters followed by more time off. Already recruiting for next year should help too.
4: Time to Command. All based on Seniority and Suitability. You WILL spend 10 years in RHS (IMHO) as it stands, barring substantial expansion.... which is NOT predicted.
