Wow...
Wow, same here. They've stooped to new lows. Guess they're calling all of us to see if anyone would actually go for this. You have to hand it to them though. They're quite creative. This way they get Second Officers who not only don't get paid a housing allowance, but don't require flight training either!
2 years ago when we interviewed, DESO would have been a great career move for all of us. Now 2 years later, with more experience, we get to go there for half the pay, live in the ghetto to be a cadet pilot (with more than 4000 hours flight time), while DEFOs and captains grab all the spots ahead of us in the following years? Maybe we can give handjobs at a Wan Chai brothel to make ends meet? Think anyone will be bitter? Not exactly the way to create a positive work atmosphere.
Thanks for the "opportunity" but I think I'll go try my luck somewhere where I'll be treated like I'm worth something and not a source of cheap labour
