Comanche, I think you answered you own point!!
If you're getting wound up by the requirement to bring along 8 photo's (
OMG how dare they), or the fact that your log book hours are required to be certified (I wander why EK might need that????), then I feel this job most probably isn't for you!
The fact is that (apparently) over 120 candidates attend selection every month without whinging, moaning or finding fault........ Why don't you give it ago?
