A while ago, I applied to KA's programme that enables pilot wannabes to train for their license in Adelaide, Australia free-of-charge with free accomodation. It's rumored to cost $800K per person; that's why KA is so tough with the interviews, which consists of 5 stages. FIVE stages! I took the 1st stage (initial tests) on November 10, which was subdivided into 4 tests in english and math. Nothing too tricky there. And this tuesday, I went to the 2nd stage (aptitude test), which I did miserably. Only on that day did I realize that Dragonair really wants to hire pilots with absolute "brain power". I, of course, have a lot of brain power, but my power is geared towards the creative side.
I doubt that I can go on to the next stages 3, 4, and 5, which consists of lunch group interviews, medical exams, and flight grading. But... I hope I can. I really want to work in a place where, despite doing repetitive mechanical work, I can communicate with people who share the same values as me.
