Hi,
A couple of quick questions to any ladies or gentlemen working for the company at the moment. I've had my application in for a while now, updating every couple of months or so and received an e-mail last week inviting me for a SO interview in July in HK( I ticked FO/SO on original application but have been invited for SO interview).
Currently I have approx 3000 Total time, with around 2500 on A319/320 and ATPL. I work for a low cost carrier and am based outside the UK, I don't really have any great ambition to head to the sandpit and would like to return to the UK in the future.
With regard to my current levels of experience, how long could I expect to hold the position of SO before being upgraded to FO? Or is it even an option for direct entry FO position? It is also my understanding that currently SOs reside in HK, what would be the possibility/time frame of being based in London, after being upgraded to FO and is there much demand for such postings?
Thanks in advance.
