I think that people, looking for a job, and having one offered, are not thinking about leaving the company, so in essence bonding ( even though very marginally legal, if you ask me) someone coming with a type rating is not really important if you plan to stay for a long term.
Obviously, if your plan is to leave within 6 months, the question is : why are you getting there ?
After the assessment, the money invested to get to the biggest hub of Europe ( AKA Linz), and a positive offer after may be months of searches and trials. What would you do if you discover at that time that finally you are bonded ? Take or Drop ?
So there is some takers...
As far as the assessment is concerned, if you had made a previous one with another company, this one is in pair, may be more psychology than technical nowadays.
