I believe interview dates have been set, so those shortlisted should be contacted in due course to select their preference.
For those put off by the F/O salary as opposed to the SF/O salary think long term and appreciate that as you get older and wiser(?) benefits First Choice offer like the Company pension scheme, private medical cover(your family also covered for a very reasonable premium), permanent health insurance(full salary paid for six months then 75% paid after six months illness,to retirement age if necessary),share option scheme and so on become very important. Personally I feel these far outweigh the perceived 'hit' some may take for three years.
