Hey Heavy,
My buddy who went to the interview has 6000 hours and was not asked for a training bond. Either that's the cutoff or guys aren't sticking around for some reason and they are trying to stop the bleeding.
He said that they do a lot of psych, memory and multi-tasking types of testing but that otherwise it was not a technical interview. The medical was very intense.
I think CAL is a lot more stable than the US airlines but I have things just a little too cushy at the moment to take off for Taiwan. I think it would be an adventure and if I could take a leave from my current job, I might go do it for a couple of years. The bond puts the kabosh on that idea though. What are you going to do?
