If you are referring to the "Team-Building Exercise," I think they've already scrapped the thing (unverified). Had a friend who went through screening for FlyDubai, wholly owned by EK, and conducted by EK people in the spanking and sprawling EK Trng Bldg, and there was no more of that nonsense.

But what I know of it is this:

In one instance, 7 applicants from different airlines, with different training backgrounds and rated on different aircraft are gonna be made to work together and...

1. Arrange a set of 9 statements in order of priority on what makes a good airline. The group must come to a consensus within 10 mins. They'd want a volunteer to moderate and do the whiteboard.

2. The same set of people would have to solve a murder case, within time limits of course.

3. You'd be presented with an array of what looks like oversized LEGO pieces and create (as a group) something "mobile, useful, and beautiful." There are certain rules to follow (candidate A cannot touch Red pieces, candidate B can only touch Yellow and Green, etc.)

4. There's one more that eludes me for the moment.

If you must ask what good this is all gonna be to qualify to work in an environment where training commonality, preparation and teamwork is essential, my answer is: I DON'T BLOODY KNOW.
