So going to the interview is all at your expense. Converting your license is all your expense. Plus the previously mentioned $450 for psychometric testing. Then you have to pay for a type rating and be bonded to the tune of $57,000? Ha, they must really be getting quality pilots. Anyone who touches this must be mentally deficient, desperate and untouched by any other halfway decent airline.
