Definitely take the opportunity to interview and see if CX is a fit. I interviewed in Aug. 08 for a DESO and have been sitting in the hold file ever since. Little frustrating watching Cadet pilots continued to be hired while I'm waiting until 2012 for Direct Entry recruitment to start again. Probably won't even be a DESO program in 2012, and I don't blame them if they can find enough pilots to fill the cadet slots.
I hear rumors that the DESO poolies can be reassessed as DEFO's if they are competitive. So I guess thats something to look forward to.
