Best advise for eastern is try really hard to find another job first. they are so clueless about pilot recruitment that he reckons pilots should do a stint as Cabin Crew or in Ops before being identified as a "good chap" worthy of the RHS.
Nothing wrong with that if someone has no experience at all, I would have done that if I was going to be paid to do it, after all it might get rid of the us and them mentality that some folk have
After all many BA cadets went as cabin crew after passing out as cadets when there were no pilot jobs.
