jetfly, it seems more and more obvious that they are looking for rather low time guys that have not been exposed to too much "bad" stuff out there and who can be "shaped" their way. If that's the case then it's a shame, there are many high time pilots out there who would be able to "leave" bad habits (if they had any to begin with) at the door and adapt to TUI's way of flying. Seems very much like SAS when they were hiring a couple of centuries ago

What surprises me is to now read highflyer's post saying only 36 people have been invited. Can you confirm they only invited 36, in an emaile a couple of weeks ago Moa told me they had 80 slots for the interviews. 36 guys/gals for 10-15 positions seems rather low, unless they are 100% sure they have found the absolutely best 10-15 candidates out of 700+ applications among these 36. Seems highly unlikely to me
