An answer for the Barcelona Cadet.
the first thing you will do is introduce yourself to other applicants and CTC. Nothing to worry about there. you will then be split into groups of four and given two group sessions. The first is to see how well you interact with other people. you will be given a scenario where your ship is sinking and you can only take a few items from a list given to you. there are no right or wrong answers to it but make sure you have your say but also listen to the other applicants in your group. The second exercise involves building something. Again it is how you interact with each other. This task as with the other lasts 30 mins and you will have 10 minutes planning 10 mins building 5 mins silence ( which can be amusing as everyone pulls some interesting faces) and a further 5 mins finishing off. make sure you dont come across too domineering as they really dont like it!!
then you have the interview. this will be with a pilot and a HR woman/man and can last up to 80 mins.
Questions that will probably come up include:
why do you want to be a pilot?
why do you want to fly commercial rather than military?
why have you decided to become a pilot now?
The pilot will then ask a few questions including:
what airlines do CTC work with?
what planes do any of their partnership airlines fly
what is the difference between airbus cockpits and boeing?
etc etc etc.
This phase is really to see if you have a good knowledge of aircrafts and a general interest as well as seeing if you have the attributes of a successful pilot.
i hope this helps
