Some answers to a few questions that people have put on here for the SO position.
1. QLink and mainline do share the same interviewing panel.
2. The interview formats are virtually the same. Group exercise, one on one interview, resitting of the psychometric test (half the number of questions though), a situation exercise and a 500+ question behavioural and attitudes questionnaire (which includes a question of whether you like fire and whether you like s*x strangely enough....not sure that's legal but never the less it's in the questionnaire).
3. There are no technical questions (doesn't mean you won't get asked though).
4. Current interviewing is for the A330 SO with a good chance that you will be moved up to FO when the 787 arrives due to the fact that many of the current A330 crew I guess will be needed for the 787. That in turn will leave more SO's required on both aircraft in 2017/18, which can be taken from the current/future applicant pool.
5. Based on point 4 it appears that they are looking for experienced drivers in this round of interviewing that can hit the ground running after the 330 training. Most being interviewed it seems are not GA pilots this year.
Hope that helps anyone.
