Is the next step after the long answer written questions attendance in Dublin for aptitude test? I wonder will they run the online aptitude test again this year beforehand?
I guess that Numerical/Verbal reasoning will be done in Dublin. This kind of test s will be in the process for sure, and after that there should be an interview. My guess:
First Dublin stage: reasoning tests (PILAPT? numerical/verbal/spatial, ....), group tasks, maybe an initial interview?
Second Dublin stage: Interview with Aer Lingus staff? Preliminar medical check?
What surprises me most about the selection is that the schedule is clear since the beginning. And the whole process will take only 3 months since the expected date to start training is in january.
