Krugerflap,
Are you sure about that? It does not seem like a very cost effective move on Etihad's part. Assuming they have to interview at least 3 canidates for every 1 that passes and it probably costs at least 5k per canidate it could represent 150k+ in interview costs to flush just 10 pilots out of the pool. Just so they can save the difference between short course and long course? That strikes me as spending a dollar to save a dime.
