It will not be long before I'm in the position of applying for jobs and have to say I'd never pay for an interview and the sooner these airlines are stopped the better. I blame the applicants for this situation. Why pay it? It is a pi$$ take of the highest order and just goes to show that some people would do anything to get in the right hand seat. I dare say some might even "drop 'em" for the recruitment team if they knew a job would be waiting. Sort it out!
VFE.
