RE: Bombardier
 

Quoted from Bombardier:
'About the age limit, in 2005 (you might be suprised) the took 19 candidates aged between 21 to 36.'

I thought they took 13 candidates .. well this is what was told on the news!!Any idea how many were taken in the age range 20-25 among the 19 candidates??

Btw any guess guyz how many will be shortlisted for the panel interview??

I was told that if nobody meets the standard then nobody will be shortlisted. But I wasn't told what would happen if it were the reverse! With 60 candidates left, I'd estimate around 30 for final interview. But thats just a guess!

Hi mates..
Thank you again for all the PMs and questions received.. and all the comments/happenings on the thread..
I am quite dissapointed to see the quality of certain postings..the ones lately made are poor and not related to the theme I have proposed to discuss..
There are better ways to compile all this rubbish in a different threads and I urge the one(s) to do it somewhere else..
Lets get back to work..

As mentioned months ago,I did tell that the selection process is gonna be really quick..The final interview is very soon and it is expected that the selected candidiates will fly to 43 Air School before September 2007..

I did get the opportunity to see some of you already and I am confident that after rigorous screening,the right candidates will be chosen..This year's papers were suprisingly easy though most candidates were rather unprepared..The general results show that school leavers and fresh college/university candidates have scored more..but it does't mean that the new group of cadets will consist mostly of them..

The psychometric test did reveal the usual behaviour patterns of regulars and on the other side,some highly motivated candidates..The panel interview will be the final stage to confirm all the compiled results..
Air Mauritius is already planning to prepare flight deck crew for the forthcoming A330s..and there is some planning which is being done so that A319 colleagues can switch over within a matter of days..The biggest shortage is on the A340s but expats are still coming in high numbers to resolve the problem for the time being.

The SBM bond will be signed after medicals.. It should be conducted within one month after the panel interviews..
I will try to get hold of the contract and see if there is anything worth mentioning here in a few weeks..
And as mentioned,there will be an assessment awaiting successful candidates once they are invited to participate in the training at the Air School..

Hope this answers and covers all the questions I received..
Wish you guys and girls all the best..See you all at the Paille en Queue Bldg and onboard very soon..
RaviMK..

good job..
 

Keep the information flowing bro..

U seem to be our "inside man " in MK.. ;)

Guess all the psychometric test over by this time...

Do you have an idea how many they gonna call for the final panel interview? ANd from that how many will be selected to fly to SA?

cheers

some clarification
 

what RaviMK means when he wrote:

The psychometric test did reveal the usual behaviour patterns of regulars and on the other side,some highly motivated candidates

Thank you RAvi
 

Hello Boys,

RaviMk thank you kindly for the info, thought you were just going to be a reader during the selection process and will not interfere. When you say "The psychometric test did reveal the usual behaviour patterns of regulars ..." what does that suppose to mean when you speak of regulars.Do you know the previous candidates who applied since 2003?If you do how come and how do you have access to those info.These are private and confidential info accessed to some people only not your average pilot(not trying to offend you).Are you part of the panel?

Cheers
Boys

P.S: Dan, I guess that the dark side rules again at MK, DFO = Darth Bany.Join the dark side and powerful you shall become.

Just replying this last posting..
Well,I'm not here to waste my time,mention my position and grade in MK and accept all kind of sarcastic comments..
I really don't need to be here anyway..but I do care for Mauritian wannabees as I have myself been one in the past..So hope this answers your question and gives you a clear idea of my motives..
The information I post all the time is very accurate and it's solely up to the anyone to use it or disregard..I don't have to prove anything here and neither it's pleasant to see names of high calibre colleagues being used in this thread under ridiculous statements..
Hope to get more intelligent questions next time..
RaviMK..

New and a bit confused
 

Hi all,

I am new here and I also don`t really know how it works around here.I did test 2 and I found the psychometric tests very challenging.I managed to get the ball around only once I think:O and the first exercise was very hard got a little bit confused :ugh: . What are the chances you believe :confused: I might have to be called for the interview.I am actually still at Uni, do you believe Air Mauritius will take mostly people who are done with their tertiary education.Hope to get some answers soon :ok: .

Thanks a lot

super jumbo
 

Hi super jumbo,

I wouldn't worry about still being at university, I suppose if they've called you for the selection then they are not worried about it. However, you might want to ask yourself if its the right timing for you. A degree could be invaluable in the future.
As for the tests, its almost impossible to get the ball round the track more than a few times without making an error, so don't worry too much about it. Sometimes you do better than you expect!

Hello Boys AND Girls,

I've been following the thread for some time now and I'm happy to see that many of you guys are taking an active interest in the Ab-Initio programme.

As well as the many positive and useful comments, there seems to be one individual who thinks he knows everything when in fact he hasn't got a clue.

From his postings, he only seems to care about the "Boys" which implies a sexist. Making unsubstantiated comments about his potential future boss suggests ignorance. Imitating a psychologist has only given this poor misguided fellow an illusion of grandeur.

Only a retard would behave like this and only fools would believe his posts and take the time to send "private e-mails" to him.

This "special" individual registered himself here on the 16th April 2007 and has so far managed to post an amazing 18 posts of pure rubbish in this thread.

His personal attacks on RaviMK are completely unjustified and he should carefully analyse RaviMK's previous posts to see who he's dealing with. RaviMk not only started this thread but has also been a major contributor providing as much information as he can to help future Air Mauritius pilots.

This thread is for information relating to the Ab-Initio Programme and not for company politics or for critising the DFO. There are other threads dealing with these topics and maybe he should waste his time trying to seek attention there.

I wish the rest of you the best of luck with the selection process and hope no more nonesense gets posted on this thread.

Cheers

Ps. The Dark side has definately clouded this individual's mind and be trusted he should not. :=

Thread topic
 

Guyz let's get concentrated on this thread's topic. I believe we all shall appreciate if Bombardier provides us with info about MK management but like others mentioned, this is not the right thread to talk about MK management. I believe most of the members here are rather keen to know about whats going on for this year's selection process!

As i posted earlier, can anyone get me on what RaviMK means by this:
'The psychometric test did reveal the usual behaviour patterns of regulars and on the other side,some highly motivated candidates'

Couldn't get him here!

Regulars???
 

Hello Boys and Girls :O,

Clearing out a few things.First of all I did not make any personal attacks on RaviMK, my attack was directed at the management only. Well, unless you think RaviMk = DFO then its something else.JD 128 you joined PPRUNE in 2004 and so far posted like 4 messages and mentioned that you`ve been following this thread for sometime (so you are perfectly aware that it is an Ab-Initio program forum).

Unless you(JD 128) have some genuine info about the current selection process please carry on being a passenger.I believe your psychological abilities(perhaps by visiting psychs daily) you acquired will be put to better use in some other forums or in a mental institution.Felt Good.You are welcome.

From now onwards I wil give info on whats going on for this year's selection process.

Simplifire, me to I don`t really understand this sentence basically the word regulars.Does it imply previous candidates?Do they still keep records on them since 2003 are those info accessible to other companies?(I mean if RaviMK had a look(??) someone else could, quite frightening.)Will the previous records be used in the current selection process?

Take care,
Boys and Girls :O

P.S:I believe men and women alike have equal opportunities of becoming excellent pilots as well as JD 128 is an excellent passenger.
P.P.S: What does JD 128 stand for anyways.Jack Daniels 1 glass, 2glass, 8 glass and I am drunk enough to post comments.Just kidding.
