Does anyone know what exactly to expect at the medical check for the cargolux assessment? I read the whole thread(and web for that matter), but no details to be found....

Appreciate all input!!

Thanks!

Hello Hans,

Have you already been for IBF test or something else before they gave you "rendez-vous" for an interview in may?
I would like to know the selections process as dr Schwan is now gone...
My status is still ready for IBF for more than 3 weeks now but no news from CLX


Thanks everyone for you reply!

Anyone received recent invites? Applied a year ago and told application was awaiting a yay or a nay and had not yet been reviewed due the massive amount of people in que to be looked at. Have the GSS lads and lasses been taken on? See ppjn still says recruiting.

Cheers!

Currently only applicants with positive test results are hired. Since Dr Schwan is not working with Cargolux anymore the recruitment process is on hold. They have to come up with a solution soon to keep up with the present pace of 6 new pilots per month. They will continue this amount at least until the end of the year.
The average failure rate is about 80%, so 30 candidates per month is a rough number of applicants going thru the process.

Aeromedical center

Hello everyone,

The selection process at Cargolux changed from IBF to Aeromedical center in Holland.

Any one did the assessment there? There is no information on internet about it.

Greetings,

Ridinghigh

Calling

I did, but they said you can not prepare for it. I have a PDF file which shows you all the tests, but there is no software available.

Hi there.

Got an email stating that my application has been changed to "ready for assessement". Does anyone know the timeframe now until assessement, will it be weeks or years?

Regards 1975

Hi guys,

also got the email today stating I am 'Ready for assessment' and that I will be contacted for an assessment appointment during the next weeks. Just have to wait I guess...

Riding high, would you mind sharing this PDF file with us?

Anyway, if anyone has some news, info or whatever, this would be highly appreciated!

Thanks and happy landings.

Dear All,


I am invited for the second round of selection next week.


Does anyone have fresh information about group exercise, interview and sim screening? What questions can I expect during the interview? Is it personal questions or technical?


Would be highly appreciated!


Kind regards,


Diper79

New screening

Hi everyone,

It's seems to be difficult to get info on the new screening process. Since it's so different from the old one, the 'screening-info' in this thread isnt of much use anymore.

So I would like to ask everyone who has undergone the new selection process, (1st and /or 2nd round) to please share their information on it.

Many, many thanks to all!!

Nope! That's ground staff only! Pilot hiring and training will continue.
