Cheers for the reply jumpdrive
I applied to both Rishworth and Direct last Monday for info on the FO contract. I registered online and forwarded my CV. I've well above the minimum requirements. Direct got back to me within hours. Still not a peep out of Rishworth.
It sems like it would be a great experience. However, the package on offer, considering the current dollar-euro exchange rate, and the ambiguity regarding command opportunities and fleet transfer mean I wont be persuing it. The fact I would also have to organise and fund my own way to Bangkok for assessmnet is not the greatest of incentives either.
Good luck to all of you who apply
