Looks like liverbird had too much to drink that night. I think you'll find most pilots get their jobs with a free interview, although didn't British Midland charge an assessment fee for the initial psychometric testing at one stage? I could be wrong. Certainly had to pay nothing for the current job <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
It is morally wrong but MOL wouldn't have been able to do this this time last year.
Regarding earlier posts about what to do to gain experience, unfreeze ATPL's etc, is get flying anyway you can, instructing, aerotowing, photoship, whatever. You do not need a full ATPL to go RHS in a 2 crew aircraft. You should already have a frozen ATPL which is sufficient so what's the problem?
Spitfire747. .Fly for food. Really? <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> That's not correct (or shouldn't be). You'll have spent a small fortune getting those ratings and I know that you want to fly for a living soooo soooo much. Been there myself. But I bet once you get your first airline job you'll be worrying about your pay, terms and conditions, rostering and all the other stuff attendant to airline flying that pilots whine about, despite it being the bestest job in the whole wide world. Why? Because it's human nature.. .You shouldn't sell yourself short.
