Sorry for the delay, but here is a run down on two days event.
Day starts with company's presentation with Q & A. Both CTC & Fly Dubai respresentative were there. Really great group of people. They answered every question in detail to the extent of their knowledge. Total 11 of us. All regional.
After presentation they split us in groups of two. Blue and red.
First task of the morning, group discussion and presentation. First scenario is rapid expansion of fly Dubai, and what can we suggest and the benefits of growing as well as the cons of rapid growth. Once completed, 2nd task is stuck on the moon scenario. You are given list of equipments and arrange them in the order of importance from 1- 12. 10 minutes after change in scenario and we are given list of additional items and now re-arrange the list accordingly.
After the group exercises, we waited until the computers were ready for testing. Again same tests that. Have been mentioned previously. Joystick and keeping the cross hair centered. Keep the cross hair centered while keeping track of the sequence of numbers. Third test was to keep the crosshairs centered, while monitoring shape and colors and numbers in the along with sequence of numbers on the right. My suggestion is take your time. Do not rush through. READ INSTRUCTIONS.
Once completed results were announced and out of 11, 5 were sent home. One on one HR interviews thereafter. Similar questions from previous write ups.
1. Why flydubai
2. What can you bring to flydubai
3. Acclimation to a new culture
4. TMAAT when you helped your company
5. TMAAT when you had an issue with captain and what did you.
6. Why should we hire you
7. What research did you do about the company
8. What's your total time
9. Talk about your self- your aviation career
10. Most proud moment in your life
11. Where you see yourself in 5 years
12. Your current goals
Once done, you go outside and wait. 4 out of 6 made it. We were given sim profiles that evening for sim on 737 NG next day.
Sim profile: no memorization required. Pay attention to instructors briefing.
Hand flown sim with T/O out of MUS, no flight directory, auto throttle or auto pilot. Fly complete ILS followed by go around and loss of engine on go around. Simple fundamentals of flying. Nothing difficult. They are looking for CRM and corrections you make if blunder. Afterwards, were sent home. Got the pass email the very next morning. Have the final interview scheduled next month. Will post further upon completion.
Word of advice, please refrain from asking questions about commuting. That's a no no. They want people for long term. It's up to you to convince them why they should hire you. CTC is difficult to pass but not impossible. All candidates were American. Didn't see any sort of discrimination. Pay attention to instructions and be pleasent. Answer with specific examples and time stamp. They will smell bull$hit for miles away.
Oh yeah and please dress professionally and iron that suit and pants of yours. It's amazing to see who didn't shave for the interview.
Also, if you are 737 typed and experienced, don't assume you have this bagged. You will be surprised to see people that have been eliminated.
Good luck!
