Thanks for the info about the Emb 120 - I am just quoting from the list that has fallen into my hands. I am hearing rumours that in the last few days the ground is shifting and we are now modifying the criteria. Apparently time on military fast jets and heavy transport along with experience on the BAe146 (all variants) will make candidates eligible to be considered for Direct Entry Pilot (ie standard bond decreasing over 3 years) positions. Like I said - its all supply and demand.
