AB is only taking ready entry at the moment. And this is only by waiting list.
interpersonal is in charge and they recruit pilots to put them on this waiting list, so that in case air berlin increases the amount of pilots needed, interpersonal has the first and best option on crews available.
Interpersonal for example is recruiting for the second half of this year...however, when I was in the AB assessment with Interpersonal, the guy told me that AB themself have not in detail made the plan on if and how many crews will be finally taken...
If you need intel on the assessment with AB , I have been there PM me for more.
