Hi Fedemelnyk,
since I've been called for a selection next week, can you please tell me more or less how is the selection process? Which needs to be prepared better, etc.
Of course, if anyone else has any tip, is welcome!!
Cheers!!

The HR lady can arrange hotel room for you at Islande Hotel for a special price. If you ask her to do this, then you also might get free transportation to/from airport.
At least this was done in 2008.
Good luck!

I have applied for the B757 position and I have just been invited for day 2 which will include -in addition to the psycho testing- a sim assessment on the B737 at the OAA centre.
Anybody recently been through this? I have done the sim on the microsoft pc on day one so I am after some info on the 'real' sim assessment.
PM me if you prefer.
Many thanks!

B757 day 1 & 2
I have completed day 1 and 2 for the B757 screening and I have understood from others that there have been different ways of testing as they are becoming some what more professional with regards to their recruitment. Anyway, here is my feedback:
Day 1 (4 weeks after applying):
1. 20 min HR interview with lovely M, very straight forward, no tricks
2. Basic ATPL test around 25 questions and Operations test also around 25 questions, to be completed within 50 min. Can't remember any questions, the operational ones are easy with airline experience, the ATPL ones I had to do some guessing as it has been a while (Elec, Met, Perf, Nav etc).
(B737 guys also get B737 tech quiz)
3. 380 questions on your profile with yes/no and no time limit, straight forward.
4. Interview with 2 B737 captains having to explain a SID out of Minsk and some CRM questions, no tricks and then in front of pc playing around with this very sensitive microsoft flight sim, basic 6 pack. T/O RV VOR with G/A, then RV for ILS to land. Apparently this so called 'sim' will no longer be used (as it's a rubbish way of testing type rated pilots I guess).
Day 2 (3 weeks after day 1):
1. I was expecting psycho testing as told by BT, in stead I was put in front of a screen with lots of bottons, headset, pedals etc and I got some sort of version of the COMPASS test (check online) which included responding to sounds and vision, mathematical calculations (straight forward), trying to keep a triangle in the centre etc.
2. Also on the pc 444 questions about your profile/character answering yes/no/no idea. Apparently others have been interviewed by a female psychologist and were asked to draw trees, animals etc.
3. 20 min sim session in the B73-800 with pleasant TRE, straight forward again: T/O RV VOR with G/A, during G/A engine failure and use your CRM and calls you are used to then RV for ILS to land. Can't even remember which airport was used which is not relevant anyway, we were using rwy 22L. All very basic stuff.
I have the impression that B757 guys get feedback/result quicker than the B737 guys. Some B757 FO's within the company are changing to the Dash with their command.
Good luck to all

Air Baltic Tests
Thank you Highflyer,very useful info.
- The 380 profile questions of day 1 and the 444 profile questions of day 2 were both psychological?
- The "pc sim" was all of it in Minsk?(VOR,ILS)?
I guess the 75 people will also have the real sim on the 73 there at Riga.
Now they re saying they ll do everything in one day.Let s see.
Thank for all the info and good luck to you,hopefully they ll call you soon.
Take care
