I completed recruiting process including acc three weeks ago. They emailed me last week asking me to send further documents updated medical etc and references contact info from my past and current employer. I have not heard back from them since. Is this standard procedure is this done with every one or does it mean I've passed the first stage

Sherwood interviews take place everyday Monday to Friday. It's crazy the amount of pilots that go through that place. Be sure to prepare. Work on your single pilot ifr (sids,stars, dme arcs holds, ils approaches miss approach etc) and your math algebra fractions percentages etc. No calculator, and it's Bout 25 questions in 20 minutes. These two are the most challenging part of the recruiting process. Everything else should be basic knowledge

Bonjano some of my previous response was for you. Interviews tale place basically every day.

Dog tired the atp questions are not what I got. Everything else was basically similar.
I'd say prepare for a week or two review your math etc and ifr flying

For the review, check it out on latest pilot jobs. It is basically what they will ask you for.
The two most important " items " are the sim ( Seneca or King ) and the interview.

Romsey, did you come back to Panama to take the aac test ( the one with the figures ) after having completed " stage 1 " ? If it is the case, that means you passed stage 1. Wish you the best.

I've done the interview and tests for the first stage last week, now I'm waiting...
They do treat you very well, and it's a good idea to come prepared, now Can anybody tell me about the AAC psychological test? Where can I find practice tests?

@sherwood

look for something called " the bender test ",( basic drawing ) and try to practice some spatial reasoning tests, like 2d 3d figures. ( 50 figures in 20 min for the test )

1000 hours requirement

Hi to everyone,

With regard to the minimum hours required for foreign pilots, I was wondering if is possible to apply if you have flown 1000 hours only on a light single engine aircraft. Do you know if they are looking for specific class or type of aircraft?
Have you gone through this process with experience just on light aircraft?
Any information is welcome

Regards.

Delta I met a few persons at the interview with light single and multi Piston time. So my answer to that would be yes

Hi,

About the Spanish, I can tell you that It dependa. If you are applying for FO you must speak Spanish, not basic Spanish. For Captains I have flown with some captains that speak 0 Spanish. Regards

A friend of mine was hired as FO and did not know any spanish, on the other hand he speaks portuguese as native language wich is very close to spanish.

The salary is a joke for Captains!Disgrace for our profession. For F/O s even worst because they have to pay for the conversion of the ATP and during the Infamous BRIDGE course they earn penuts .(I guess is the worst salary in the world for a B737NG pilot)No house allowance anymore LOL. BUT IF YOU r single and JOBLESS and live in latin/central america or US (flying Regionals)without a jet > 50 tons type rating Maybe is a choice. The funny thing is the poligraph test. I guess they ask if you will leave after 500 hs LOL. COPA - Centre Of Pilot Assessments .

If u don't have any jet type rating other choice is to try HK express in Hong Kong ,at least they pay you more and the 320 open more doors.

Good luck!
