I will share my experience with VJ:
I applied, sent all the copies, got an interview, then they changed the date cause, ooopps! it was bank holiday and they didn't realised! I finally attended to it and was spoken to as if were already in, no problem for being based in none of the countries somebody mention above... they even told me what day I was going to the course!
Now 3 weeks have gone and with them any hope for a call... so it seems to be their way. And by the way, the recruitment "Mrs" is VERY arrogant, she either doesn't know VJ needs loads of pilots or she works for some other operator
.
The point is that offering such a poor package (for experienced FOs) they should be a bit more humble or less demanding.
I am not a german speaker and to be honest I am starting to think that this might have helped to the outcome of my interview, if so why was I invited at all?
Fortunatelly this is not the only way to do things, other companies out there are far away much more serious and treat candidates decently.
Happy landings!
