1st you start by a presentation about the working conditions on the airline by a psychologist member of the recruitment team,you also get a short summary of how the selection process goes,then you wait a few minutes and a captain comes pick you for the initial interview,the aim of this interview is to get a small idea of your personnality and see if you fit them,they ask several motivation and background question as well as 1 or 2 technical questions,here is what I gotWhat brought you to aviation ?
Why did you choose your flight school ?
Have you failed any atpl subject or skill test ?
Why luxair ?
Have you applied somewhere else?
Have you ever done an interview?
Have you applied to major low cost airlines?
How do you know our training is excellent ?(after answering this to why i applied to them among other things)
Did you have any contact at Luxair?Who?(again they asked me who i knew or who i got information from when i told them i had infos from several people either online on in real life...this surprised me)
How did you finance your training?
What would you do if we don’t hire you?(after telling them that i would go to ryanair if i don’t pass)
how will you finance the training?(after telling them I may consider applying to ryanair if i don't get a job for them)
Are you sure ryanair charges the type rating?(most awkward question ever heard in my life in the aviation industry to be honest)
Technical questions:my group of 5 applicants had Standard/Non standard holding with entries,explain how a jet engine works,take off segments with gradients for a 2 engine aircraft,basically as expected and reported on this forum.This did not take longer than 20 minutes,for some of us it was even 10 minutes long only (I don’t know how they can tell if you fit them in the span of 10 minutes)if you pass you go to the DLR in hambourg for psychometric assessements,if you fail your profile does not match them and you won’t be allowed to apply to Luxair again
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the feedback. Do you have any idea what type of candidate they are looking for (experience, nationality etc)? I was rejected without saying why.
