I applied to Europacific and Parc at the same time in Sept 2003 for a 767 FO position that both were advertising.
Europacfic emailed me a few times with little teases asking when I would be available for screening. First in Seoul, then in Taipei.
Then nothing for 3 weeks.
In Oct 2003 Parc emailed me and asked what is the earliest I could get to Taipei for screening.
About 1 week later I was in Taipei. The "screening" is actually done in the first 5 minutes in the simulator. The next 3:55 is your initial training followed the next day by another 4 hours.
Then it is off the HCMC for groundschool.
