@ gear up job
Yes they do favour foreigners. These guys are hired with a 2-3 years contract, get their rating and off they leave the company after their contracts end. More than 2/3 of the pilot workforce are expats i believe and their movement within the company is just ridiculous. While it would have been much more efficient to hire the locals.
I'm not against hiring foreigners at all, but they just do it to keep the aircrafts flying and their work condition is awful. But at the end of the day, they have their ratings and can move on to greener pastures.

Back to the actual topic:
For those going for the assessments; do understand that the aim is to eliminate as much candidates as possible. Remember:
1) Practice makes perfect (or almost)
2) Quick Thinking
3) Thinking out of the box
If you guys become pilots one day (i'm sure you all will), you will find the above extremely useful
