In the history of aviation, it is virtually unheard of for a company to retract lesser conditions, so DO NOT go to KA on the premis they will get desperate and increase your T and Cs, they won't.
As has been done to death, 20k will get you a shoebox in an average area, in a hi rise.
If you are young, single and eat/drink like a local you may actually leave ( when you get sick of the place ) with some modest savings, if you are married with kids you will find it hard to survive at an acceptable level on that c scale, remembering that where you come from is probably not one of the most polluted and crowded cities in the world.
Command ? You will have around 2-250 F/Os ahead of you, and expansion has been close to nothing for 5 years, do the math.
There are plenty of good people in KA and the standards are not really an issue if you put some modicum of effort in.
For 2nd interview learn all the obscure symbols etc on Jepps, and know all the crap about aerodynamics that means little to everyday ops, and of course know your own aircraft intimately and don't be fooled into thinking they won't know anything about it, they just might.
Enjoy
