Optomism melts to pessimism
I just love to hear guys like the colon, sorry colonial being so postive about a company he doesn't have one iota of personal experience. Perhaps the nazi party had positive aspects about it too. You would think so, nice uniforms, disciplined, good equipment, vertical managment pricipals, until you joined and then asked to do things you find morally reprehensible. Now please don't allow this analogy to be any comparison to Eva, but on the same token it is hard to promote any organisation until you've had a decent look from within and without. I chance that you have done neither?
It is a good job, but there are some down sides to the place and the problem is how to address them or whom to talk to. The lack of information (structured, provided and sound) is mininal. The lack of means to communicate without fear of punishment or recrimination at a later time, is very evident in the current structure. Hence D C D's comments about not being told anything from your initial arrival until complete induction and check to line. You only find out most "things" you need to know by the other people ahead of you, and not by way of a formal introduction package. You will be expected to know yourself at a later time when you are told, "butt captain, you should know this."
The good thing about eva is that most people there with in the flight crew team are willing to help in almost everyway they can. This by far is the best part of Eva. So if you are successful on your interview, make sure you interact with the crew and ask as many questions as you can, before some asks you.
