The following is just my personal opinion. Others can and do, disagree with me.

FWIW I work for Tfly. I have done so for many years.

The air of arrogance perceived by some is unfortunately very real.

If I had to undergo our selection test today, I would fail miserably. On the bright side, I would not have to endure the shambolic farce that defines a good deal of our operation these days.

It may be that the selection process could give the prospective employee an insight into the managerial style of the company they are joining.

It may be coincidence but when we were good at what we did, we had good managers and a well-organised operation. The selection process was simple and relevant. These days it includes an interview with a physiologist and a whole raft of pointless exercises to be deemed potentially worthy to join our ranks. However, by a strange coincidence, we now need a checklist to scratch our arses and require so much irrelevant paperwork in our operation that a simple flight to PMI turns into a marathon.

The T’s & C’s may be good, but contrary to what they will tell you, that is despite our management.

Good luck with the job search people. Try not to take it personally. In addition, it’s likely that those that administer this process have never actually had to pass it themselves.
