Hi All

There was an opening recently for First Officer A32F with BLine. Any replies?

[Mlambin]

Hi,

I did apply few weeks ago but didn't received any answer yet. They close the portal on the 30th of November so I guess they will need some time to go through all the resume they received.

I would not expect answer before January as the interviews are plann

[AdzMc]

I had an email today saying that I've been unsuccessful :hmm:

[Mlambin]

@AdzMc: You will find something else !

[flyhigh788]

Same here.

>1000TT + A320 hrs on type

[Mlambin]

@Flyhigh788: this is more interesting.

As you are both not Belgian maybe they want to take Belgian people.

[dboy]

Don't worry too mich about that.

Today it is reveilled that Lufthansa will acquire the total 100% of Brussels. but will not give any job security.

Nice perspective if you ask me :(

[ludosky350]

Does anyone know the selection process ?
Group and inidividual interview, sim ride ?

[SeventhHeaven]

The selection would be 3 consecutive days halfway through January - Nobody has been invited yet.

It has been years since they opened up for ab initio hiring, and they've changed a lot since then. Nobody knows how they'll do their selection nowadays.

It's Belgium, so expect some bull**** ATPL theory test. They'll make up their own questions, and will ask you stuff and to draw graphs you wouldn't have had to know for the ATPLs.

Good luck if you get invited!

[Mlambin]

Why being so negative about Belgium ?

[n.dave]

Me also been rejected.:(
Flight Instructor.

[Fieldins]

Rejected, I'm not Belgian... A320 TR

[appfo09]

Same here ! A320 TR.

I've just made my own thoughts about this company. Since they have merged with Lufthansa they have already a bunch of candidates inside the Lufthansa Group who already possess the DLR. Why then look elsewhere ?? They are just doing their marketing strategy by apparently opening pilot positions for outsiders to apply, though these positions may not exist in reality. We will never know.

Best of luck for all those who were invited !

[cantos]

Rejected! 1300TT + A320 TR

[Mlambin]

Look like only rejected mails have been send yet.

[elbandido2003]

Hi there mates, just two questions!

when did you apply?

for those who were rejected...university degree or similar on your educational background?

anyway, best of luck for everyone and those who have been discarded...keep going, lots of new things coming up within the next months.

[BAe 146-100]

Not a airline for low timers.

[Mlambin]

What you mean ?

[PFDriver]

Not a airline for low timers.
Couldn't be further from the truth actually, I have a friend who joined SN with 400hrs on type (A320) and around 600h TT at the age of 21 or 22. I also got the e-mail saying I was unsuccessful (I have +300h TT, no time on type).

[ludosky350]

A friend of mine joined Brussels last year with a few hundred hours only but was rated A32F.

Anybody received a positive mail ?

[l.p.]

I'm still waiting for a response so maybe this is a positive sign.

Does anyone have an idea about the selection process?
Theoretical questions? sim check? interview?
Any info is appreciated!

[dboy]

Also still in the loop but very reluctant in accepting. If i see what is going on, low chance to get an upgrade and high taxes, i better stay with my old job.

[SeventhHeaven]

And another rejection to stick to my motivational wall - I'm saving a fortune on wallpaper at least!

[dboy]

Just got an invitation to do the selections. Not sure if i am going.

[Mlambin]

Just got rejected. I had big hopes on this one. Dboy if you don't go, do not hesitate to tell them to call me as substitute ^^

[SeventhHeaven]

Dboy, if you are who I think you are, with an ATP offer on the table, I would sell my soul for that opportunity over this one :) Even if it's a SSTR on an old bird!

[dboy]

Well SeventhHeaven i have no clue who you are but after almost 10 years working the same company i am still looking for a change. Yes this might be an opportunity but i guess Brussels is now very unsecure, especially now with Lufthansa. Well 1 positive note, i still have a flying job and somehow stability.

[Mlambin]

@dboy: what's your background ? Few people said they been rejecte with type and hours on A320.

This unsuccessful mail hurts for me as Belgian.

[SeventhHeaven]

Don't let it get to you mate; Plenty of other airlines out there. Belgian aviation may not like to admit to it, but they're not the tip of the sword they aspire to be :)

If you ever get a decent offer abroad you'll realise you've got the better end of the stick :)

[CaptFlyer]

Anyone even got an invitation for selection ? If yes could you please share your profile, curious to see what they are looking for.

[maxxxs]

Hi there !

Got an invitation !

My profile : 1400TT, TR on turboprop, french, english, intermediate in dutch, and bases in german.

Anyone got detailed infos about the theory test, please PM me :) (just to know where I have to concentrate my studies, I don't think I can study the whole ATPL + Jepp in just one month)

[dmertens]

Hi there,

I received an invitation to attend the selections. Profile: ab initio, just graduated in October and have pretty good knowledge of Dutch, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Likewise, if anyone knows anything about the theoretical tests and the rest of the selection process, any tips are more than welcome! :)

[dboy]

Did anyone go in the meantime?

How many people are they looking for?

Only a 1 year contract??

[Hidalgo50]

Hello every body,
Did someone have any tips or knows about the written exam?
Thank you

[bpilot92]

So how did the selections go? Has anyone been offered a position?

[marchetti_310]

Hi there,
Does anyone have an idea about the questions for the selection?
Tec. questions, sim check, interview...
Tks for the info...

[suncruiser650]

Hi Marchetti,

Did you receive an invitation from them?

I have no further information about the selection unfortunately

[riegercar]

I've heard some selections will take place on November, no news at the time.
The last guys started with a theoretical test ( Weather chart, Performance, Operational ) , then next day an interview with HR and a Pilot and they ended up with a 737NG sim test ( Climb out of BRU 25R 3000 FT right turn climb and turn with constant speed and R/C, vectoring ils 25R, G/A engine -1, level off 2000FT clean up , freeze and repositioning on final to perform a complete landing ).

Keep you in the loop if news are coming

[suncruiser650]

I am invited for November! Do you know what kind of theoretical questions they will ask during the interview?

[riegercar]

Mainly talking about these subjects : a lot of symbols from sig chart, some perfo calculations like go-around, departure distance/altitude on a chart ( they are using another chart than jeppesen with more colors ), holding calculation, what is metar cavok , worst engine failure in a 4 engine a/c, drag vs lift curve.

Basically a good review off the jeppesen general and ATPL Oxford or similar will be successful

[phugoid77]

Hello guys, thanks for the info posted. However, I am wondering why SN would organise simulator screening on B737 when they only have Airbus ? Can someone confirm this info?

[Genesis5]

The A320 sim might have not been available at that moment. That could be a reason. Or maybe they realized the best way to check someone's flying skills is to do it on a Boeing ;)

[Pelikano]

Hi all
I am invited for the assessment day.
Who knows more about the technical quiz?

[theaccountant]

Hi everyone,
One quick question, is only English necessary to apply? I can't understand too much from the website.
Thanks

[riegercar]

Hi ,

This is correct. They used to ask Dutch and French, now with the lack of pilot French/Dutch are an asset but not a requirement anymore.

First-Officer A320 (temporary contract)

Hi all.
Is there any guy rated (A320) who invited for assessment?

[737PilotBelgium]

Hallo,

Is there any one having recent asked questions on day one theoretical interview at Brussels Airlines?



Thx

[riegercar]

They use to take the same questions bank. In the past : Jeppesen and your atpl books were very sufficient to pass the test .

Cat C aircraft operation ( speed , turn , holding, circling approach, go around 3 types ) , weather chart all symbols metar taf decode , fuel required for a trip , sid on lido chart, climb gradient , drag vs lift curve, altitude correction due to temperature.

Nothing surprising

[antoniomg]
