That's correct scroggs it was the S/O position that I was applying for.
In my group there were :
Two B737 FO's - one easyjet and one SAS.
Two Embraer 145 captains - from UK regional airlines
One Dutch Bae 146 FO
One Netjets F/O (who'd previously been a turboprop captain).
One Australian Dash 8 captain
One Jetstream 31 captain (me)
A lot of airline experience sitting in that room, as I say I was definitely the lowest hours one there with my 3,100 total.
So all you hotshots with your 1000 hours of instructing, no harm in applying (I applied as soon as I met the minimums and it took 7 years before they called me), but I wouldn't go running your mouth off round the flying school just yet that you're off to Cathay
There's an ongoing thread running over on the FH wannabes forum about who got called for interview and what experience levels, should give you all a better idea.
