Thus the sun went down and it was the 3rd week and KQ saw it fit not to inform the AB Initio 'recruits' whether they had made it or not and Naikuni looked and saw that it was good...man!! This waiting really is killing!

Blessed evening guys and lady, hope we will end this week on a better note!

By the way, in case you haven't, make sure your documents are in order, no need waiting this much and then get called and not prepared for the interview.

On other matters, does anyone know what we should expect in the interview? What questions do they ask? Anyone?

Thanks Rhino
And thanks Evroza....let's just hope I make it through...

As for interview questions the one question they have to ask is 'tell us/me about yourself' and that's the killer>you either make it or break it with that one.

What happens if you reply:

"With pleasure but I am sure that your time is valuable and I certainly very much appreciate your giving me the opportunity to meet with you today for which I thank you. So why don't you ask me what you would like to know about me and I will do my best to answer all your questions as accurately and honestly as I can."

@Cheetah, that's a very brave response.....I've nver been for an interview at the Pride centre so I'm not quite sure what kind of questions they ask.
But if you look through the forum, there are quite a number of people here who have. They'd be best suited to answer than question....

It is a bit of a tie breaker isn't it. It's not relevant to me but 'tell me about yourself' is along the same line as 'what can you give to the airline'?

lol cheetah true but i believe everyone has something unique to bring to the table.
but that question can be really hard to answer. you don't want to come off as self centered but then again you don't want to sell yourself short.

so when did you apply to the program? or are you a direct entry pilot?

The waiting continues....

@kijanamangaa thanks for the oral interview lead. The waiting has been tough and you can see with the silence some of us have adopted. We are hoping for the best though....@druy welcome, if you yet to start build your relationship with the email well, you will realise this as you progress. @ delt, both progress and 43 are open for entry in may and i know we are to be splitted if we make it the 25 of us...

Intake

Hey guys, congratulations on the progress, trust me, the hard part is over now u jst have to be ready for whats coming, flight school is quite strange at first.
I was in the previous group, we are in ATP ground school now.
A few days ago I asked and the admin told me we expect 7 new guys in May in progress. For those who come here, karibuni.

okay, now you guys got me scared...Nothing! Or does it have something to do with the fact that i already emailed them a while back confirming all my documents? Had any of you confirmed having your documents prior to todays email?

Yeah, Evroza, i had confirmed to them about my requirements earlier on (when they sent the first email on the matter). I haven't got any new email in my inbox, putting me in the same boat as yourself. Oh, that was close!

lol yes that was close... That must have been double tension Evroza and Migire. The first time I did not have my yellow fever certificate so I'm guessing they were emailing us again to confirm that we had all the necessary documents now.
