No, experienced guys came because their company went bust.
Then when hours were lowered, LCC guys came because it was less ****e than where they were. Even this seems debatable now it seems.
I think that is pretty accurate, at least for the western guys.
If there is a sign on bonus, maybe they should give it to the assessment team to stop them from failing DECs? What is the current failure rate, 99%?
Failing an assessment can put a dent in your record, and the screening should not be tainted by personal opinion on the DEC policy by the team.
As it is now, it is a complete waste of time to apply as a DEC.
