Yes we have to do them, but we are allowed to moan about them too.
Sorry, thread creep here however BA still do psychometric analysis. It's stage one of their process. It may have been refined slightly over the years however it's still very much present. Nowadays, I believe, it's largely continued into stage 2 with competency based interviewing and further behavioural analysis. The process at Emirates is a ridiculous mismatch of all sorts and is more of an endurance test as the main elements are shoe horned into one day.
In Jet2s defence, once the online tests are accomplished, the remainder of the process is very standard. Relaxed interview, group exercise and sim.
I've had experience and success with all three of these. Drowned in the pool with BA, couldn't fatham how I could make EK work with my young family and still very much in the left seat with Jet2 - and happy about that as well!
Good luck to those applying
