GTW Assessment
Just finished the GTW screening. Very straight forward/ friendly.
Two Oman Air staff, a check airman and an HR person.
Met briefly at the hotel for a short personal introduction. Flying history,
why do you want to work for Oman Air stuff.
Then off to Oxford where the check Capt conducted a group brief oral exam. Panel style with all three candidates asked questions consequetively.
Know the memory items w/o BS. Then a few basic systems and ATP questions.
Sim: one visual circuit. Then a T/O, V-1 cut to SE NPA. Technique of your choice. I used LNAV/VNAV. This to a MA. Followed by a SE ILS. Done.
Pretty basic.
But know the profiles and the callouts. Cold. Standard Boeing.
Was told afterwards that of the 27 candidates screened that week, 7 passed. Reason being that with the large number of very low time FOs, that Oman Air needs Capts with above average handling and command skills.
