I have been invited by AirBaltic for an assessment, after having passed the online tests.
I have a question, because something sounds strange to me:
Although I'm not an experienced pilot, I'm rated on the 320, current, with 600h on type and almost 1000TT.
Even though I'm not rated on the A220, (therefore I suppose to be considered as NTR), I will do the Sim assessment on a Diamond DA42 (FNTPII), single pilot operation.
Usually the FNTPII is used for candidates with no TRs at all, or with no commercial flight experience, does it look alright to you ?
Then we come to the second question: coming from the A320, will there be another TR to be on my expenses, in case of a successful interview ?
Very last question: What is the Managment Interview ?

Thank you guys, I appreciate a lot your help.
I had my assessment a few months ago, I have about 2500 hours TT (2000 on atr)
Da42 has easy handling characteristics, the hard part was to understand what the assessor was asking you to do during the sim session. Conflicting commands and chaotic environment. It wasn't the first neither the last assessment I had and I can say that it was non standard. I thought that the assessor was trying to make it more challenging since DA42 is a slow and easy to fly airplane. After reading the posts here I believe that all these non standard tricks was to leave space for their ''friends'' who didn't meet the entry requirements
