Yes but the first clue as to what you will be dealing with is the expectation that any pilot can spare 11 days from a roster for an interview process. Let alone the spectacular levels of Alice in Wonderland bs that you will undoubtedly encounter when you get there. Many years ago Captain Olster applied for a DEC position with a 'glamorous' Asian airline from a UK airline run by a famous 'entrepreneur'. I was sent a standby Econ ticket (gee, thanks) to not -mentioned Far Eastern destination but the problem was the return as I was due to fly the next day. After phoning and politely asking whether the return could be 'firmed up' due work commitments I was then subjected to a harangue about my lack of suitability for the position. The mild suggestion that 'going sick' for my current company to facilitate the interview was not exactly the personal qualities required did not resonate at any level. Be careful what you wish for.

Cheers.
