What difference does it make what level of experience other applicants have?
They're only accepting type rated applicants at the moment, so if you meet the requirements outlined in the advertisement, put in an application. I can guarantee, you won't be considered for an interview unless you put an application in.
Has anyone else received an email from recruitment asking for an application update due to being in the talent pool for a rather long time?? Does this mean anything, or is it just a general update?
I wouldn't imagine there would be too many type rated F/O's in the world willing to move to the middle east to do the same job they're currently doing, with less seniority and a longer wait for a command !!
Hopefully the guys in the pool will hear something soon
