Captains will be treated with the up most respect during the interview.
FOs will be asked to bend over. Just to make sure they can take it once out in Malaysia!

Looking for experience pilots (with or without command) to fill up their Captain's positions. First Officers are still supplied by their Cadet and direct FO intake which is limited to Malaysians only for now due to surpluss of available Malaysian candidates. No rating required, all shall be provided for.

Can't really say for sure. This is subject to manpower requirement at that time. But really, if you don't enjoy being based away from KUL, they allow an immediate request and will get a replacement when a new joiner comes in or someone else request for the base. Generally takes 6 months for this to happen. Then you will get your KUL base.

Humvee - how short of skippers are they? I would only agree to join if I got KUL from the start. I am not prepared to wait for 6 months in an outstation. Do you know of anyone who has joined and gone straight to KUL?

Might be a bit rough doing six months here first.;)
