Sim assesments and FO recruitment
Hi there,
to those waiting for the sim assesment what u can expect is a rather straight forward session (45 mins) with a cap that won't help u much but at least tells u so in advance. He'll be looking for CRM attitude, basic flying skills and radionav. You'll be given some sid and approach plates (LGW in my case) to have a look for about 15 min. prior to the session, then you'll have'em back when your turn comes. Normal sid, basic manouvers once reaching 4000' then dct to a vor, holding, n-1 but just to see how you control the plane (no qrh, drills whatsoever) ils and landing. No secrets nor misteries, just do the work. He wants u to mantain speed, bank angle, vert speed but he'll take into account your previous experience (jet, type, ...)
I passed although I consider I made some mistakes!
Wish u good luck!
Regarding the recruiting what I can say is that I applied for a FO position, have >1500 TT and >500 jet, I passed the selection process and I'm in, so I guess that they might be choosing the candidates, and as long as they have people with this sort of profile they won't take less. I don't really know if they've been recruiting low houred FOs (<1000TT)
Good luck to u too!
