Is this something I could bring up at the interview or would reversing myself be frowned upon? Does anybody know what the hiring numbers are looking like? Are they looking to hire more SOs or US based freighter fleet FOs?
Also, what did you do on the day of arrival? I was told to pick up my visitor pass the first day of the interview. Does this mean they don't want me prowling around Cathay City the day prior? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You could tell them that but I would have a very good reason. My group had a guy that wanted to stay in Asia since his wife is Taiwanese. He has over 10,000TT but they offered him SO so he could be HKG based. He let them know that informally at the cocktail party, not during the interview.
They don't really tell anyone the numbers but we seem to be hiring pretty steadily for both. As for the pass, you could try but the security people probably won't have the list until the morning of your interview. I'm not really sure why but that is probably it. When is your second interview?
Good luck!
