Cyco.........
Haughtney my good fellow
What is it about the Eagle interview that you are against then?
My answer is simple..4 bloody days...when a 1 day process would be perfectly adequate
(assuming of course the main tenant to this thread is accurate)
EA are making guys/girls jump through hoops for the worst reason possible....because they can
and not IMHO to provide the best/most trainable candidates.
Thats were my problem lies (amongst other NZ aviation issues) and it is why after 4 years of flying in NZ, I went offshore in search of less restrictive and narrow-minded pastures. (I say that as a bloody proud Kiwi)
As a final addition to add context Cyco......I was offered an interview at EA in 2002, which after speaking to the nice HR lady...I turned down.
