Be positive
I spent over a year with Cebu and talked to the HR dept several times concerning the hiring process. Don't expect a response to your emails until they are needing you. Just because you don't hear back from them, doesn't mean they don't have you on the hiring list.
During the Skype interview, be positive and willing to do what it takes to be a pilot for Cebu. Asking for free tickets, housing, days off, will just be viewed as negative. You need them a lot more than they need you.
For me, I would have enjoyed staying with them for the duration but as a seasoned pilot, I need time off to enjoy my family and to rest. With Cebu, they do not allow this as you are on call every day you're not flying. So, it's a good opportunity for you new guys with a fresh type and needing to build some hours. Just plan on working and being available for work, every day you are there.
Good luck!
