Hi Guys,
I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who aspires to fly for CY... BUT here are the FACTS they already have their candidates and the whole interview process is a JOKE!!!!!! Here is some advise if anyone is flying in from overseas make sure CY sponsor your ticket and stay because this is going to be an absolute waste of time and money for some of you guys!!!!
1) All the guys from Euromalakia that is now bankrupt who had A320 ratings will get taken on by CY ofcourse and in due course so will the other guys... This is a fact...
2) If you are unlucky enough to get a job working for this has bin airline expect to be an FO for eternity I would rather fly for Agean at least you will get a command whilst you are still young enough to have any ability....
Now for some feedback regarding the fake interview process by this hasbin airline...
I only did the Eurocypria interview which should be very similar... It was conducted by guys that did the Swiss Air ( another failed airline) psycometric testing....
Things to expect on the day,
About 100 cypriot CPL/IR frozen ATPL groupies with 200 Hrs who expect to jump straight in to the right hand seat of an A320 for CY coz they think its the only airline in the world and they dont want to leave mummy and yiayias cooking and they just want to stay in cyprus and drink frappe.. They will stop at nothing to get it even if it means taking another mortgage out yiayia's khorafa to buy a rating and get there...
The testing lasts all day and despite what they tell you in your invite letter about "not being able to prepare for it" thats complete and utter bollocks!!! You can totally prepare for these things I'm not here to tell you how just find lots of books on psycometric testing that involves shapes spatial orientation number sequencing and mental arithmatic a few days practice and you will be processing like a pentium so to speak!!!!
If you are successful which sorry to say 98% of you won't be because they didn't want you in the first place.. you will then go and do a group exercise,
If you are successful at the group exercise phase i believe you get to have an interview with the management scum bags that have already robbed the airline through greed and mis management...
Then if you have what it takes and your'e a real Cypriot top gun you get to show off your skills in a frasca in Nicosia... now i'm being a bit harsh.. I think they might send you to the UK where you will have a proper sim session but on arrival you will be surprised to see some of your 200 hour Cypriot friends that you met on day one who have been there for a week practicing the profile after putting one of yiayias properties on the market to pay for the sim practice!!!!
I know i am not being very nice about it all but these are the facts this was my experience with Euromalakia im sure CY is exactly the same and thats why they will follow Euromalakia down the drain... If you don't believe me all you have to do is pickup a Cyprus Weekly....
I obviously didn't get into Euromalakia thank god im happy it turns out they did me a favour... I now fly for one of the worlds leading airlines flying much bigger and better things than CY could ever offer me making lots more money with much better command prospects.... If i were you i would think twice about even giving them a minute of your time because its gonna cost you time and money for nothing!!!
Good Luck!!!
Happy Landings!!!
