Caissa et al
Under no circumstances should an applicant pay to have attended an interview based on a rejected offer of employment after a successful interview selection process.
Not in this industry, nor in any other.
If the airline has done its homework and the flight ops recruiters and management team have at least an average IQ, they are responsible for selecting suitable candidates. Period.
If the candidate subsequently rejects an offer of employment, so be it.
It is this kind of squeaky snivelling dissembling bull**** from management of airlines that has helped bring our profession to its knees.
Who the hell would want to work for Garuda anyway?
