Interviews
Hey guys,it appears this forum is slowly dying off!!So,Cpt Jotham and the other guys who had been invited for oral interviews on Monday,how was the interview and when are you guys set to leave for flight school?Those who've made it through this program and are working for KQ could surely lobby for improved communication from their employer and better yet,a fixed time table of the program from recruitment to finish similar to Quantas..it would go a long way in ensuring no one is left out.

Depature
Oral interviews were just a know me know you forum and we got some general questions from the panel. This group leaves for Bhisho campus- 43 air sch on 14th April after being postponed twice from 11th and 12th due to Visa delays. We are 17 guys. Good luck to every(one).

The "Interview"
I shall speak for Captain Jotham on this one, seeing as I was in that same "Interview". Actually, it was more like a briefing, a very dynamic briefing done in the presence of everyone. They get to ask questions like "why aviation?" and you get to give the same old boring story of how when you were a kid you saw an aeroplane and it was flying and blah blah blah. Actually, they don't listen to your answer at that point, it doesn't affect anything, but saying something funny grabs their attention. It worked for some people. So the Interview went well, we are awaiting the final debrief which has been delayed thanks to SA embassy delaying with the passports. But as for the flight date, it's scheduled for Thursday. Actually it's a very hectic process after the medicals, you get very short notices on when to go do something somewhere and you have to do it, so it gets crazy hectic, I have been saying bye to my peeps and postponing until now I've just stopped saying bye. Oh, 1 more thing, there has been a revision of the recruiting process, so once you get to the medicals, you might as well start packing. The psychomotor is where they now drop down to the required numbers.

Flown out
No, the flight is for this Monday morning. We had to postpone because of visa delays and the connecting flight being full. We suggested the better communication platform to HR, and believe me, I think the next bunch of recruits will have it much better, because even Mr. Naikuni was there and He said steps have to be taken to improve that.

Awesome
That's good to hear. Sorry for the delays though-personally I'm used to that kind of thing. [Preventing rant about wanting to be upper-class]
All the best in your training. And keep leading the way, we are a few steps behind you. I bid you Godspeed.

Cap Maina,am told the 17 were the last batch for the 2010-2011 financial year,to make 100.So the next batch which are likely to start the interview process after 30 June 2011 will be the first for the 2011-2012 financial year.So not to worry.

No one has gotten any email yet because kq 's financial year hasn't started,i think it would start by June,thats when the 2011/2012 ab initios would be called...on the height issue,from what i've been told is that those guys are very strict on what they ask for and its precisely what they say,is what they take,between 5''4 and 6''2...cheers
