You've heard wrong then Cloggy. T's & C's non exsistant. WX make them up as they go along in order to suit themselves.
Type's ? 146. do I need to say more ?
Bases ? Wherever they want to send you, whenever it suits 'em.
Above said the people are a jolly nice bunch, and the quadrapuff is not a bad wee airplane for it's age.
Aptitude tests running this week - standard stuff, verbal, mathmatical, mechanical reasoning. PF64 personality thingy too.
Interview straightforward enough. Chief pilot and/ or chief instructor with some HR types. Expect some general tech questions. Sim check normally on EI BAC1-11 in Dub. Expect a T/O, SID, HOLD, STAR and ILS, possibly a VOR/NDB approach thrown in for good measure. Normally flown ex-DUB or MAN.
6 to 8 places up for grabs on next 146 conversion.
best of luck!
