one thing to keep in mind ,if they offer you a job take as much time as you think you need to get your affairs in order before leaving your home country.some pilots say they can be here in 2 weeks and EK will hold you to it and expect you to be here.if you have to change they dont like it IE last min chenges to the plan.with close to 400 pilots this year 1 or 2 courses later is not going to make a big difference.also Apr 25th(Ithink) is when we will hear as to bonus and any change to T/C'c(note I did not say pay raise). dont be afraid to ask pointed ?'s .
