Just did my initial interview there. Friend of mine that used to work at SZA got on there 3 years ago (he is French) and doing his upgrade now. Anyway, I met with two tall very attractive HK chicks with Aussie accents. Straight out of a James Bond movie. Interview lasted an hour. Very cold and not cordial whatsoever. Lady was looking through my logbooks (I have 3) going back 17 years. She asked me in 2006 if I was working full time how I could have flown a Hawker, Challenger 300 and 172 all in the same day. I explained that when I wasn't flying a trip for my company I could do contract. I told her I flew my friends 172 up to BED to do a test flight on an HS125 in prebuy. Then that evening flew the company CL30 from TEB back to SJC Either she thought I was full of **** or just couldn't get it through her head. Asked how I would feel being FO after being captain so many years. Asked about my wife who is Chinese. Only in the end did they smile but I honestly felt they knew right when I walked in the door. I wore a nice Lamborghini suit and it was like graphite color. Very sharp looking but not the standard navy blue red tie white shirt BS. Not sure if that made a diff. Funny thing was I got a letter less than 24 hours later that after lengthy consideration they decided not to proceed. Lengthy... My friend there tells me the training is insane. On recurrents they don't do any warm up sim, just straight away check flight Only 2 yanks there out of 500 Who knows

My quals: 7700 TT 7400 PIC over 5000 turbine PIC and current 737NG Capt in China last 5 years
