NOCTURNAL TECHNOCRATS!
There's no 'nocturnal technocrats' working behind the scenes to select who makes it or not! The pilot recruitment process involves third parties like Department of Defence who carry out the height measurements and aptitude test, they the mark and assess the results which they hand over to KQ HR. Career connections administers the psychometric and psychomotor analyis which they also handover to KQ HR, medicals is carried out by a combination of KQ clinicians and independent aero medical examiners and results forwarded to KQ HR, flight tests (for DEP) is carried out in the B737 NG simulator at the KQ pride centre by KQ instructors and assessment forwarded to HR. Finally, the oral interview is handled by the Chief Pilot, Director of FlOps, One fleet manager and HR Relationship manager in-charge of FlOps, This is the team that decides who gets in and who gets a regret.
Sending enquiries to HR might be irritating to them but it does not disqualify you from the process, selection is solely based on performance and attitude.
Good luck folks
