So, if you are not holding a UK passport or lived in the UK for more than 5 years, what ever the present requirement is, there is no chance to join them? Not even type rated? Are they hiring DEC?
EAM, sorry for the late reply. I was told that they would not hire you without a British passport! It doesn't matter if you lived in the UK for 5 years or more, no British passport would mean a PFO straight away type rated or not.
However as with anything in aviation, this could have changed a day later.
