Be aware if you take this one (AJX/AJV) on. The failure rate is confirmed to be in excess of 50%. Passing the interview is thus not indicitave of the likleyhood of success. If you do fail you are out on the street without any notice and that can occur at any time during your training. It is possible that you will have been out of the market for up to 6 months and will probably loose currency on your type. Amongst other things you will be expected to be able to fly hand a 767 at 550' (+/- 20' is considederd rough) assymetric or with a C hydraulic failure on a 1.5 nm down wind with 15 kts toward the runway. If you are unable to fly within tollerances, line up exactly and on path you will not pass. You will also be subjected to two oral tests conducted by the JCAB a matter of weeks apart, the scope of which is undefined. In other words any question can be asked. If it is not answered satisfactorily you will fail. If they do not like your attitude, you will not pass regardless of how well you fly or answer the questions. One should weigh the above very carefully in considering this opportunity.
