Hello again. I'm posting my answer to a fellow pilot asking about my assessment. I failed, but the assessment was pretty fair, in my humble opinion.
There was only a private interview and a sim after that. No technical questions, no language test. There also was no such thing as a group exercise; the only thing done as a group was docs check and the company introduction by two captains who handled the whole thing.
Before the sim, they made a short briefing, so no syllabi or anything like that was given. The exercise was t/o without a/p and a/thr, just the bird was allowed. Straight-out after t/o, climb to 5000', a single 45-degree steep turn, then radial tracking inbound (radial was 020 and we were about 15 nm away; so whenever i asked for the course 200 in radnav, they said it was ok. Didn't waste time waiting to catch the radial). After that, descent to 2000' vectors for raw data ils, GA and after that a/thr and fds will be on (don't know if they also give the a/p, since i failed before that). Some say, they cut an engine during go around as a surprise item, fyi.
MCDU was all prepared. No QRH was necessary, but they expect short but proper briefings with appropriate procedure.
That's all i know about it. I'll share this in the forum, too. Good luck to all.

The screening is fair. There will be two captains and two people from the HR department.
They will ask you to take with you all the documents that they requested in the previos email. They are gonna check them with you personally.
Then there will be a personal interview, straightforward, no tricks, fair. Try to be yourself and explain your doubts there.
After that, you will be told your simulator session time in the afternoon.
The simulator session is widely explained in previos posts. And it is like it is, no tricks and nothing new. Then, you will wait after the simulator for half an hour or so until one of the HR representatives come to you and tell you that you have passed and give you a time for the medical next day or that you have failed and thanks you for having made the assessment with them.
Try not to celebrate anything on that day in case you pass. Beers won't make any good to you for the medical exam.
Hope that helps.
Goodluck!!!

HKE Pilots have reached the limit of their tolerance and are to commence industrial action in May/June if Management continue to ignore and refuse to recognise the EAPA.
This is a courageous and necessary action, and I wish you guys every success. ��
