Assy, expect at least two weeks before you get the yes or not yes email. You might be able to nudge them but they won't say a thing, hint at having to put in notice on accom, work, etc...... PM me if you get in.
EL Captain, nah we dont need any more DECs, there's plenty of experience here to go about. Management dont see it that way, but there is. True! Lots of jobs as F/Os though, all care no responsibility, you'll love it.
