I did the cityjet assessment a few months ago and unfortunately or even fortunately failed it!
Didnt get through to the interview part!
Good luck - I did post a few things about the assessment mainly in Terms and Enderement so if you do a search....

cityjet sim cx
hey, i've just done a sim cx with cityjet and think i really messed it up.. anyone else done one recently?? have u heard back yet?
My suggestion to anyone thinking that they may get asked to go for a simcx is to get some sim time... maybe a 737-200 hint hint. I was asked to go for a sim cx only just over a week after hearing how i did in the interview.. it's not much time to sort out a sim ride (especially when over christmas!).
And don't underestimate the sim cx... I thought the interview would be the hard bit... not so!
Learn from my mistake - be prepared. Have a good look at SIDs and STARs and try to get some big-jet sim practice.
All the best,
never give-up

Cityjet Interview
Wingsaseagles (and everyone else)
I've got a Cityjet interview coming up and was wondering if anyone had any tips (on top of what is already posted). I've been told there is technical section in the interview and have been going through all the old ATPL manuals.
Also, as a matter of interest, if you pass the interview and the sim check, do Cityjet have a holdpool or do they take you on pretty quickly.
Any guidance is gratefully received
Cheers

I got through the apptitude and the interview and have the sim coming up in February. It's on the 737-200. Got the speeds and attitudes and booked some time in before hand to practice....never flown a jet sim before.
At the interview they said that they were hiring now for a March course date, one of the last ones on the 146 before they introduce the Avro.
Hope it goes well...anyone else around the first weekend of February?

Cityjet Recruitment '07 Question
Hello all,
I have conducted a few PPRune searches on the Cityjet recruitment processes, baisically it seems there is a few aptitude tests and a personality test, and the interview itslef plus the sim check.
Could someone 'in the know' please confirm that this is correct.
But what I am really wondering is the order of it all. Is the aptitude tests and interview done on the same day? Where is the interview located? Dublin, Paris?
Are the aptitude tests multiple choice? What are the time limits of each exam?
If someone that has done the tests recently could indicate time limits for each of the aptitude tests and mabye even an example or two if they could remember would be great.
What were you asked to do for the sim check, and is the RJ sim easy/hard to fly..
I know there is a lot there that I' asking, but any help on the whole process would be great.
Cheers,
G74

re:cityjet process
hello all, bad news unfortunately.. didn't pass sim cx but the good news I now know what to expect... Kezler - sounds like u getting well prepared.. good job
, wish i had..
all the best!
To try and answer some Q's appearing previously, my experience has been 3 stages..
1. Apptitude tests
2. Interview
3. Sim Cx
As far as i know stages 1 and 2 can be paris or dublin, and stage 3 in dublin in a 737-200 sim.
Apptitude tests - about 4 parts i think plus a personality test thing..
Maths, technical, cognitive and can't quite remember the other... maybe just those plus personality questionaire?
Maths - revise long division and multiplication (no calculator ofcourse), as well as rearranging equations etc. Think about 30 Q's in 45 min??? it was a while ago so if anyone else remembers feel free to correct me.
Technical (so called!) fairly easy picture diagrams with simple Q's. Eg a big cog and small cog... if cog A is turned once how many times will cog B turn? (hint: count the teeth!) These Q's are mostly common sense.
Cognitive Q's.. remember those 'nets' in school.. basically a piece of paper with 6 squares on it, which could be folded up to make a cube? Well, imagine that with dots or stripes on some of the cube faces. Then a choice of 3 cubes.. with a Q 'Which cube is the right one?' It can only be one due to the layout. Then the shapes get more interesting! Sounds complicated but it just cos i'm not exlaining it very well.. again anyone else feel free to pitch in.
Interview: personal flying history and background. Q's: 'What do you know about Cityjet/146/Avro? etc Technical Q's based around 146 and it's characteristics, eg short T/O Landing capability, 'whisper-jet' -quiet engines, flaps - how they work and why important. Also describe considerations in flapless landing. Ice temp. range, remember to mention 'super-cooled droplets'..
Sim cx: 737-200 SIDs and STARs (have a look for complicated Dublin plates!)
He won't give you any help with engine settings.. he acts as co-pilot so u can use him to help setting up nav aids etc but he won't go out of his way to help!!!!! i had engine failure during the hold.. then ils. He seemed more picky about flying the numbers instead of smooth flying.
well, hope this helps. Best advice is just relax and set out to enjoy it.
happy flying

Hi Aero,
I have been to Cityjet aptitude testing and found it quite a challenge.
There is a pretty tricky math paper with a range of equations, long devision, multiplication etc. Straightforward enough except some numbers are missing, fill in the blanks and there is not enough time
Then there are four I seem to recall, spatial awerness papers, ranging from bloody obvious to quite involved patterns. I actually quite enjoyed those as I had studied that type of problem for about three weeks before the test. There were about 25 people on my day and all that I spoke to said they didnt have enough time to finish.
The HR girls are great and its a relaxed atmosphere.
If you want any further advice PM me, all the best
Oh and I passed

Hello guys,
I am quite happy to notice that CITYJET is hiring at the moment.
I have a frozen ATPL (CPL IR MCC) with 300 FH; I applied on line on their website in last december. Unfortunately I had no ticket for the tests.
Are there any other people in this situation ?
What should be done to take this tests ? (special websites, no low hours,....)
Thanks in advance for your help.
See you,
Porco, the flying pig.

Jet Pilot Programme - sponsorship
Hello
Has someone already heard about CityJet Cadet Pilot Programme in connection with Sigmar Recruitment? It is a sponsorship with the Sigmar's school.
I'd like to know your opinions. Thanks.

Hello Farfadet, as far as I am aware the Sigmar programme with Cityjet is not a sponsorship opportunity. I think the hefty sum of 95,000 euro still has to be funded by the candidate themselves with still no guarantee that you'll get a job with Cityjet at the end.

Dublin 20th?
Is anyone going to Dublin for aptitude tests and interview on Tuesday 20th March?
If so, is anyone flying to Dublin in the morning?
I have just done selection at Oxford so hopefully i know what to expect.
ANyone found out if this is a scheme similar to OAT/Netjets and FlyBe/FTE?????
95,000 Euros is an awful lot of money if there is no guarantee of a job at the end!!

I have just trawled through this massive thread which has been going for donkey's years and there is not a lot of solid information. The last post about what is involved in the sim assessment was in June 2005! Has anyone done the simulator assessment recently who can confirm they are still using the same profile, and if not, how are they doing it now?

Cityjet interview
Hi there,
I have recently sat aptitude tests with CityJet and I am waiting to get word from them. This is the first airline that has given me a chance so I am completely new to the interview/sim assessment process. I am worried about the technical side of the interview as I do not know how difficult the questions are going to be or what is expected of me. I am currently revising some of the ATPL stuff that I did ages ago but I am looking for information specific to the Avro RJ, performance manuals, checklists etc so I can get more familiar with that type of aircraft. The ATPLs seemed to be based more around the 737 which is quite different the the RJ. If anyone has any links or information that would help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I have searched this forum over and over again but cannot find much information around the interview at Cityjet. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Stephen

I did tests in January. Hadn't heard by two weeks, so emailed Pamela and got a reply back pretty much straightaway. Cityjet sometimes need a little nudge. Same thing with scheduling the interview date.
