Saw this on the website:

I was amused by two requirements, the spelling and numeracy tests. It would seem illiterate pilots are becoming quite a problem.
Then there's the minimum hourly requirement for F/O's 500 hours. Hmm seems reasonable but 500 on type. Are they really doing ab initio flight training on ATR's now?
Just as well there's no tests on basic common sense for the Personnel Manager.
But at least you don't have to pay for your interview.
