I3igh, the new procedure seems much less stressful for both the recruiters and the applicants. I applied when a Nairobi selection was in a months time as such my video interview was 1 wk after my online application. I am sure this can vary.
The actual Assessment Day was pretty straight forward as well, they gave a thorough briefing before we took the english tests on Qatar, QR and being cabin crew in general. It was soo thorough that not many inquiries were made by the applicants. Thus they give you all the info you need to make your decision, i felt as if my days of research preppin for the interview were in vain.
Everything else flowed as usual. hope i've helped.
