[SLeo]

I have the first tests on May 5th, anyone else?

[FoxtrotCharlie7]

Well done and point taken Irs33.

But you do seem to be quite full of yourself.So if I can give you an advice :
Work on that!

Does anyone know how hard the Feast 2 can be compare to the 1st part; I mean both in intensity and stress management. I know it is a strip based exercice but is it constant along the way or does it keep increasing in intensity from start to the end of the 40 min or so. Also, as it is a strip sorting exercice, how many checkpoint can we expect to have on the screen? And last but not least question: what are the priorities you advice among the different task. I saw than in some of the threads, people have different opinions about this matter.
Cheers

Foxtrotcharlie7 i got an email, all of my communication has been via email I also have a place free in pilotschool so lets hope ill get to eurocotrol and start there instead.

[FoxtrotCharlie7]

Hello all !
to SLeo... thanks for the answer... next question is, when did you get the email stating that you would be given a date to attend to phase 1???
Cheers !

[Matichk]

Fox, don't worry, we will get our mail as well

[SLeo]

I got the email 29th of Januari and like 1 month ago the final date.

[Matichk]

so you waited around 1 month to get final date?

[FoxtrotCharlie7]

Hello ! Well, that is strange indeed SLEO, because I got my email stating "WAIT FOR A DATE TO ATTEND PHASE 1" on 23rd December!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm WALKING ON THE WALLS (literal translation for spanish phrase....) ---> Means I'm really nervous. Although this, I will keep on waiting ! Eurocontrol deserves it !
Cheers !

[Matichk]

same here mate, i'm more nervous about that mail than tests

[SLeo]

Hope you guys get the test date soon, i know it sucks waiting on things like that.. I have been studying aviation so maybe that helped me got the date sooner, or something. My friend also has the tests on 5th of May.

[Matichk]

yea, it sucks
SLeo, i sent you a private message

Hi guys. I have recived mail from ECthat I have to do Eye examination. I went to a doctor and she said it will be very expensive. Does EC refund this money? Where did you do eye exam?

Thanks

[Matichk]

i did my eyes examination at ophthalmologist and payed 25€, i acctually went to ophthalmologist who is testing pilots and controllers

[FoxtrotCharlie7]

Hello ! WOW I had to pay, here in Spain, 60 € !!! I don't think Eurocontrol refunds this examination.
Cheers

Feast2 was enjoyable after sweating the morning hours with cubes... Don't think about priorities, however I would say that do not concentrate on conflict detection too much.. Do it whenever you have time from other tasks, it should be quite easy to spot at least two or three conflicts.

Well done and point taken Irs33.

But you do seem to be quite full of yourself.So if I can give you an advice :

That's not the case. Irs33 is anything but full of himself, don't judge people you don't know

Hi all

Hence the word 'seem' in my post!

Having siad that , when you are involved in the selection process (that's from initial selection to full qualification) it is very difficult not to judge someone you don't know.And believe me , in an OPS room , the first impression is vital.

We don't want introverted candidates , but the ones who quickly get to see the door only from the outside are the ones I call 'full of themselves'.

All the best in your training.

Thanks for the advice Jtor. Sounds very wise indeed and I'll keep it in mind when I'll take the test.
