Air Asia hiring?

[wv4175]

Anyone has any idea if Air Asia will be hiring in the near future?
Heard that they have a backlog of pilots still yet to get simulator slots? Any truth to the above?
Air asia jocks out there...would appreciate if you could furnish me with details as follows:
1) When will the next round of interviews be held?
2) What are the chances of a fresh young 200hr pilot being employed by them?
3) What is the terms and conditions like? Heard that there is a unique training bond involved?

It will be most helpful...thanks!
