To all the pilots who have applied to the AE-SO programme, please brush up on your mathematics and aviation numericals when you make it to Stage 2. Do not take it for granted. There are many pilots who would tell you to take it easy. That is a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the next stage. The tech interview was an absolute wipeout, where I was asked a few questions on the A340 and A350. With just 250 hours, expect the unexpected. Out of 24 pilots from India who appeared for Stage 2 interview, 10 have made it to the next stage. I'm not sure if this is true - it doesn't look like CX is coming to India again this year. But hey, this is a rumour.
