What did you reply to those questions?
And no, the interview was nothing like any of Morpheus' speeches! You'd know that if you'd ever been for an interview before!

and FYI in my post I was replying to your question!
"It always amuses me to see you respond whenever there is a post about someone not having secondary and tertiary qualification required by airline companies (except MK, makes me wonder)."
I think you're getting me mixed up with someone else!

those f***** murdererers..
My GOD !! was that an interview? or were we on a battlefield?
I've never come across such an interview, where they "bombard" you with questions so much..
You don't have time to complete an answer, and there's another question coming from their mouth..
After the interview , am sure most of you felt how much "idiot" u are... rite?
At the end i was tempted to tell them that they really had bad manners, interrupting me, even if i've not completed my answer.. But i had to restrain myself !
They really know how to get the **** out of u...

reply to vd
There was 4 guys.. 2 from air mauritius( a pilot and a guy frm HR) and 2 other foreigner( a pilot and the other one don't remember his job!...)
they asked bout my family background, some personal questions, n also checking out my personality (which i am sure they collected in the pshchometric test)n questions about air mauritius and a technical question about plane( which i didn't get the opportunity to answer as other questions were already "flying" in)!

RE:
Bombardier u seem to be knowing a lot about mk ... any idea how many candidates they might be taking for this selection exercise?
There have been posts in the past that mk might double this year's intake compared to 2005 selection exercise.

Think the last interviews were for today(wed)
7 were interviewed.
Guess approx 25 were interviewed in total..
I've read bout MK doubling the figures of recruit, think that's not true, if you consider the figure above. Last time MK recruited around 20 cadet pilot.
Thanks for those nice word "bombardier".. Yea i think u r rite, they were trying to see if we matched our psychometric profile and if we did not lie in the test..
Keeping fingers crossed..
Do you think we gonna be lucky if we selected? Got to have a look at the contract first !!

May-Day
CP*** :"Control Tower Control Tower, this is flight MK*** Can you respond? Over and Out"
CT: "Flight MK***, this is Control Tower, What is your status? Over and Out"
CP***:"Losing altitude, i repeat.. losing altitude" Over and Out"
CT: "Flight MK***, what's the problem"
CT: "Flight MK***, what's the problem, can you copy"
CT "Flight MK***, this is Control Tower, what is the problem? I repeat what is the problem"
CP***:" {pchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii} "this is Fli {phchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii} K**{ pchiiiiiiii}..having com{phciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii} pro{pchii}blem... {pchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii}
CP***: "May day...{pchiiiiiiiii} day..... May{pchi} ay......
CT:"Flight MK***, can you receive?"
CT:"Flight MK***, this is Control Tower, can you copy?"
After 2-3 minutes of silence, which seem very long to the Air Traffic Controller....
CP***: "Control Tower, this is flight MK***, plane under control" I repeat "plane under control"..
That's the end of the story..
CP*** comes out successfully from the cockpit with his calm n confident look. Not a single drop of sweat can be seen. He's congratulated over by his friends. "Good Job" says one of his instructor..

RE: Bombardier
Quoting from Bombardier: 'About last time, approximately there were 30 candidates(AB-Initio).Group was composed mainly of degree holders.Few of those selected had no related qualification.'
Are you sure it was 30 AB-initio??
it's written 13 ab-initio from mk press release:
http://www.airmauritius.com/news%5Cp...se_02Jun06.pdf
it is also mentioned that mk will need 25 Mauritian pilots per year for the next 4-5years.

Thx tay
THx for tay, I got the reply to go for the medicals, tht is a +ve reply to go on. I think it means that basically we're selected if we go through the meds. Don't know what'll come after that, but on the letter i received "inviting me " for the panel interview it says last selection exercise. But never know for sure!

Congrats to those selected...
they are looking for mature students, last time the age range was 21 -36 years from the press release of Air Mru last year..
N the ones who says they have been selected falls in this range as well..

Sup folks
I wonder what's the level of the ab-initio selection exercises regarding MK? l've noticed cadets(Recent batch) with No "Aptitude" for flying at all.. with shaking hands n feet whilst being in the Air. Unfortunately these guys training have been terminated. Is that a joke from MK recruiting pannel?

hi
hi
simplifire, the 25hrs assessment would be an assessment of your flying skills after 25hrs of training. These first 25hrs are possibly the steepest learning curve and if you can't learn the basic skills on the assessment then there's not much chance you'll manage to learn the rest! Don't forget that after this there is a PPL exam, CPL exam, IR exam and 9 ground exams!
Hi skyarrow, i think this year will be better, the psychometric tests consisted of hand-eye co-ordination tests, which wasn't the case last time.
