Aer Lingus DEP 2019

[SuperJet]

Hello all,

Greetings. I'm in the same boat as a lot on this thread. Applied on the "before 18th" intake. Did all the online shenanigans, videos, mathematics, flying through tubes, etc.

Havent heard anything back. No confirmation emails. Noted that the Assessments (should we pass the online filter / cut) will be (start?) on the 13th January apparently.

I have heard in the past that you dont get much notice. Which can be a real pain if you're not local and need to travel.

If anyone does hear back, please do post something on what was said and how they reached you (phone, email, smoke signals, etc).

Good luck to all.

SJ.

Sim used was a 737.



737 SIM for selection ?...

[ShamrockF]

737 SIM for selection ?...
Aer Lingus use the 737 sim in Simtech for assessments. If you're Airbus rated they'll use the a320 sim.

[Oblivion67]

If anyone has any indication if those dates (second week in Jan) that they had mentioned on the website might still apply, please let us know. I just remembered that they extended the application deadline which may affect the processing times and subsequently the assessments. I am trying to preempt and plan a little.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

[shamrocky]

Huge increase (double) in applications this year.Only about 10 percent will be invited to the assessment centres. Calls will start next week and continue the following two weeks. Assessments centres take place as advertised in Jan. Good luck to all in the process.

[Oblivion67]

Well that's something.

Appreciate the info, thanks!

[Adam737]

Great work guys! Was the telephone call an interview as such or did they just invite you straight away?

[PositiveGhostrider]

Invited without further questions. Fresh from flight school, 210 hrs.

[WestonFlyer]

Got the invite for interview in January!

[IFLYyouBREATH]

Did they call in private?

[Adam737]

Has anyone received a rejection email as of yet? I was wondering if they send them out at the same time as the successful calls or if they wait till the end..?

[Alpha86]

Has anyone heard anything in the last few days?

[Eligio]

Nothing yet for me.

Guys I am wondering on when you sent the application, I did on the 18th of October 2019. What are your dates? Maybe they are going through applications based on the sending date. Just saying.

[Np07xp]

I don't think that's how it works, maybe I'm wrong, maybe when you did the assessment ?
Anyways I sent my application the same day as you and I heard nothing so far

[A320LGW]

I applied long after you and received an invitation so don't think it's how it works.

[Np07xp]

Maybe he meant 18th November, which was the deadline fo 1st interview online. I did my 1st interview on the 18th November and haven’t been called yet.

[Whiskey Hotel]

Does anyone know what the sim assessment with aer lingus is like? I know that for Airbus rated pilots they do their assessment in the 320 sim, and non airbus rate pilots are assessed in a 737 sim.

[Eligio]

I was just guessing.

[JuliusCaesar]

How many people (approx.) attend the assessments ?
And do they only call, when you are invited or do they also send e-mail?

Regards

[PPRuNeUser0207]

Any modular fATPL people getting called through?

[LightShade]

Hi community!

Happy new year everyone!
Just sharing some info, hopefully it can shed some light;
I applied on the 11th November, got a call on 3rd January to attend assessment day January, 15th in Dublin (Anyone else?!?)
My understanding is the interview's focus will be on competences base questions as well as CRM.

Background:
fATPL from modular UK school (210h) and MCC.

best of luck everyone!
don't loose your hope yet, they are still calling!

[Oblivion67]

So I see they are calling people with new Fatpl. Good opportunity for them. Best of luck.

Any experienced people get called?

[Flying_carpet]

Any experienced people get called?


Affirm. 4500h on the bus (small and big). Couldn’t make it last year due to their super short notice and had received the “thanks but no thanks” after the 3th postponed date. This time, it fits perfectly in my January roster, just been lucky.

[Oblivion67]

Thanks Flying Carpet! Good luck with it.

[Wertytg]

Any new information, are they going to send a rejection email or anything?

[antoniomg]

Hi everyone!I got a call from an Irish number today, but I wasn't able to answer it. When I called back it went to voice mail, which was full. Can someone confirm that they call from a number ending in 2615?

[A320LGW]

The ending of the number would be meaningless, it would vary depending on exactly who from the team rang you and from which desk. Anyhow if it was aer lingus they will try to ring again or send you an email for sure.

[antoniomg]

Thanks...

I will try to call again tomorrow or on Monday.

[ShamrockF]

Yeah that's one of the recruitment numbers. They all start with 01 886.

[Honeyman5123]

Got the call today from the HR team at Aer Lingus to do the assessments on the 23rd. Rejected it nevertheless since I already have a job lined up. Best of luck to everyone.

Thanks for the info, I guess there is still hope for the ones waiting... Good Luck in your future !

[Oblivion67]

To the guys going through the process today (and the next couple of weeks), any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[Coli]

Hi guys!

I had been invited to the assessment in Dublin in the next weeks and I don't understand how can I obtain a fully completed Garda Vetting Invitation Form.
For the ones that already did it, how can I obtain an AIC Person Number? Do I have to subscribe online or I will receive it via email?

Thanks and good luck!!!

Thanks and good luck!!!

The invitation form is in the email they sent to you. You just bring that on the day. If successful and you get the job, later on they will send you a link to fill out a DAA online form. When that form is sent to them and they approve it, they will give you an airside badge and your AIC number will be on the badge.

[Coli]

Great!!! Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Cheers!!!

[Top_Cap]

Hi guys!

Still waiting for a call from +35... and wondering about my application' status which shows "Invite to pre selection online test" since November. Did yours change once the on-line assessment completed?

Thanks and good luck to everybody!

[Contact Approach]

If you haven’t heard then it’s game over I’m afraid.

[JuliusCaesar]

How do you know for sure, if I may ask?

[alvocaviat]

Anyone done interview get called for sim already?

[Citationcj2]

If you haven’t heard then it’s game over I’m afraid.



Not really, last time they’ve called people even months after the assessments finished.

It all depends, on requirements, eligible candidates, etc...

[Contact Approach]

How do you know for sure, if I may ask?

I work for Aer Lingus.

[Whiskey Hotel]

I work for Aer Lingus.
can I ask, if you've been to the assessment day and had the hr/tech interview in the afternoon but no sim assessment, is it the end of the road?

[shamrocky]

can I ask, if you've been to the assessment day and had the hr/tech interview in the afternoon but no sim assessment, is it the end of the road?
No but possibly.

[Contact Approach]

The sim assessment isn’t done on the same day. Non rated 320 guys will hear fairly soon. Rated guys will be longer due sim availability.

[nightfright]

Many were being told to go for Sim on the same day whilst many others were advised all slots were taken......

[Pimaf]

Hi everyone, I've been called for the assessment soon, does anyone have any information they want to share regarding the process?
Also do you have details about the TR like where they want you to do it, how much they ask for, if they offer sponsorship, if there's a bond...
Thanks!

[papalovesjumbo]

I guess its a no go for me, Good luck to all others !

[lollotheroll]

Hey guys, anyone still getting called in? I am still waiting, losing hopes :{

[Wertytg]

I guess its a no go for me, Good luck to all others !
Why did you say that? Did they send you a rejection email?

[Oblivion67]

Didn’t make the cut this time round but congrats to all who made it through.

Can anyone (preferably in the know) confirm that they will more than likely be recruiting again by the summer? Someone mentioned July/August.

Thanks everyone!

Unlucky buddy, can you confirm you received the rejection email or are you assuming rejection due time lapsed?

Asking because I haven’t heard anything yet!

[Oblivion67]

No email but I think they are finishing this round by Friday so it’s obviously a dead duck.

[Contact Approach]

2500 applied and they only called 240 to interview. If you haven’t heard then try again next time. It’s reopening in summer.

[FR95]

And how many got the job?

[papalovesjumbo]

Why did you say that? Did they send you a rejection email?
No I have not received any rejection mail, i don't even think they can reject individually the +2000 people. But I'll try to send an e-mail next week to the recruitment address in order to have a sense of closure. will keep you updated.

[shamrocky]

Round one finished on Friday. They may run another week in the very near future. Reckon it will take them about 4 weeks to process all the results/offers/regrets. A holding pool may be established. A lot depends on delayed NEO delivery dates.

[Banana Joe]

Are they still running another recruitment since this summer?

[shamrocky]

Most definitely - 100%

How about the renewal of the ir s etc. Do you think they contact to people with -6 months to the expiration of the ir and class 1 medical ??
I am going to renew all by self if i dont have any flying job untill september.

[Pimaf]

I didn't get through either after the interviews, best of luck to everyone else who got to the sim.
Of course like every other company they never tell you what didn't please them. That's really great for self improvement...
They'll open up the positions in the summer for everyone. At least you don't have to wait 1 year to try again.

[Oblivion67]

The recruitment in the summer- will they just call people from this round of applications or will it be a fresh application for everyone I wonder?

Thank you

Thank you
It will be a fresh start.

[SAPEG3T]

So those who have done the interview, has anyone heard anything back (not those taken for a sim slot on the day)?

Seems to just be a waiting game now...

We were told we would get a yes/no message either way.

[FlysinTRD]

I've heard nothing back since I did the assessment day. Has anyone actually received an offer yet that has done the sim assessment? Or has anyone been invited to a sim assessment this week?

[WestonFlyer]

Did the sim and interview but still waiting. I heard sims were going to run right into end of February and so no answers till end of the month. Who knows?

[antoniomg]

Hi WestonFlyer.
On the A320 or on the B737?
I'm A320 rated and I've done the group exercise + panel + individual interview, and still waiting for an answer. Fingers crossed🤞

[WestonFlyer]

737 sim. I heard the 320 rated guys have a long wait cause of the sim being rammed at the moment. Fingers crossed man!

[Ramses II]

I just received the "Thanks but no thanks" email.

[TheSouthFace]

I just received the "Thanks but no thanks" email.

Sorry to hear that. What stage of the assessment process did you get too?

[Jamesflyer1]

Same here unsuccessful, will try next time

[antoniomg]

I just received the "Thanks but no thanks" email.
Ramses II and Jamesflyer1, did you went to the assessment in Dublin?

[Manny Man]

I just received the "Thanks but no thanks" email.

Same here. Good luck to all of you.

[Daddy Fantastic]

I just got the thanks but no thanks email......maybe next time.

[Jamesflyer1]

Nope I didn't get any invitations

[SAPEG3T]

I know today that there were people who have been to Dublin assessments that have had the thanks but no thanks message.

I went to an assessment am yet to hear a decision either way. (Like many others by the looks)

[320alex]

type rated a320 and i got a rejection email on the 4th like many others but got a phone call from Dublin today saying it was in error and that a number of rejections had been sent out in error.

[jjetson]

Hey Sapeg3t,
I am suprised by this. Have you spoken to someone who attended the assessment day that has received a rejection email? Has anyone else on this thread heard similar?
I attended the assessment day with no feedback as of yet. We live in hope I guess.

[SAPEG3T]

Im told that there were some accidental PFO letters sent out which were redacted.

I also heard that there were people who have already got the ‘congratulations’ email, which I guess must be from those who are TR’d already.

Most of what I say is rumour... But thats what this site is for, no?:O

[320alex]

i got a PFO email followed by a call a couple of days letter to un-PFO me

I was one of those that got the PFO email which was then retracted. It would be tough to take another one now after further evaluation.

[antoniomg]

Hi 320alex. Have you passed all panels, interviews and Sim?

[nightfright]

A number of PFOs were sent in error who were called to tell them of the error and told they still remain in the process ..... they will then decide and review and update all those in the process

so basically a waiting game

[TheSouthFace]

Does anyone have any idea of how many candidates they are looking to take on this time? (Jan 2020 Assessment)

[ShamrockF]

Does anyone have any idea of how many candidates they are looking to take on this time? (Jan 2020 Assessment)

I heard 100

[PPRuNeUser0177]

Has anyone who made it all the way through to the simulator heard anything back yet ?

[nightfright]

Nothing - I suspect they will be washing up on any any additional invites to the sim - then reviewing files and presenting that for a final sign off from the DFO - which is probably why it’s taking time -

their train set and operational panache 🤤

[antoniomg]

I'm A320 rated. No email since the assessment day...
Has any A320 rated pilot got an invitation to the Sim?

[TheSouthFace]

A few offers out in the past week....
Guessing for those that did the sim and no offer that it would be PFO this time?

[Nineshsimbers]

Hi,

anyone received the contract yet

[PPRuNeUser0177]

Can anyone actually confirm they have received an offer of employment? It seems like there is way too many rumours going round.
Has anyone even heard back after the simulator??

[hugmie]

Tricky situation pal, but not the worst, you have a job in hand and potentially another. Seemingly if you have reached out and they haven't said no it means they havent reached your file or are still deciding.
That being said, take the one you have, the EI process is known to be drawn out. Some people get the good news several months after, rumors tell of one person hearing the good news after almost a year!

Take the offer you have and deal with the EI opportunity when and if it comes up. I know this comes with bonds and other complications, but what else can you do? I've heard they aim to send offers and rejections in about 4 week's time, maybe you can stall the other one somehow.

[pedrothepilot]

Does anyone know an accurate payscale one can expect as an FO? I've seen the one on the job add but any idea on the yearly increments, or what the potential earnings of a 320 FO with a couple of years of service?

[cumbrianboy]

The figures on pilot jobs network are not a million miles away ... they are a few years old and there have been some annual increases but will give you a fair idea.

[pedrothepilot]

Thanks for the info.

[Seamusf]

Myself and 4 others got PFOs yesterday, it’s shame it took them so long to get back to us. All put our lives on hold for nothing

[Whiskey Hotel]

Sorry to hear... Had you or any of the four others got to the sim?

[Citationcj2]

Memo came out to staff asking to take annual leave for up to 12 months and part time asap to preserve jobs.

Covid 19 has torn the aviation world.

[EIhopeful]

Anyone got any best guesses as to when Aer Lingus might be recruiting FO's again?

[Banana Joe]

When the Irish Government decides it's worth having an aviation industry.

[Oblivion67]

Hi Guys,

Like to bump this thread and see if anyone has any news?

I heard unofficially possibly recruiting end of this year for summer 2023. Any truth to that? I also heard there will be voluntary redundancies end of this year. Does this make any sense?

Thanks,

O.B

[Oblivion67]

Buuuuummmmmmppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

[A320LGW]

They have around 50 in the hold pool from 2019. Currently going through them then expected to hire later in the year for 2023

[Oblivion67]

Thanks a lot.

Any further info as it surfaces would be great.

Cheers

OB

[TheSouthFace]

Just wondering if anyone else was advised that they were successful in 2020 but did not receive a contract due to C-19?
If anyone is in that position, do you know if a new application would be required or if we are in a hold pool of sort?
Thanks

[EIhopeful]

Has anyone heard anything lately?

[A320LGW]

Last I heard is it was delayed until November now. Others here may have more information.

[EIhopeful]

Thanks A320LGW - Out of interest, did you apply for the 2020 DEP intake and if so did you have any correspondence from AL in relation to that?
