Hey Guys,

I've been invited by this recruiting company as well.
I'm a low time pilot too (240 TT).

I just happened to call them to get more infos.
The guy I spoke to was very nice (commercial pilot himself) and being honest with me : the price is huge (959 euros for the whole assessment with accommodation) and the chances of getting the job is extremely low. The reason being : the current pilot market. (-> the whole cost of the assessment is being paid by the applicants).
They intend on screening between 30 and 40 low timers, for only 2 positions available.

The actual company is a "secret", but apparently only few are based in military LKKB...
The job would start early 2014.

Regarding the sim, it is a full motion Antonov indeed... And there is only one pilot being screened in the sim, with the instructor as PM. Classic IFR scenario with a few failures.

Anyway, the price is way too high for me, after all the debts I have made with my training...

Good luck if you decide to go for it !
