Thanks for the information - appreciate the candor and good luck wherever the winds take everyone.

I declined an interview 3 years ago and just this past month I've received 2 emails encouraging me to update my file "as to shortlist" - the syntax of the email is kind of vague to me.

My take is that they need pilots mostly due to growth.

That tour would be a hardship for me and I would have to weigh that with the question "is the hardship monetarily worth the pay/benefits and associated potential."
