Anyone know what was in the BQ tests?
usually the operators pick from a bunch of different tests, not all from eg sky test.
I did the bq for Eurowings years ago and fell 1 question short on the atpl questions.
does dhl Austria include ATPL questions aswell ? ( worst part for anyone not straight out of flight school )
also do you guys know if they do the tests from home due to covid?

What I’ve heard is, is that it’s a test on averages. So if your score is higher than average, you pass. The average on ATPL can be lower due to the fact that loads of people have been working since flight school and the knowledge of the theory isn’t as good as during flight training. Not too much to worry!

Basic Qualification. In my opinion it’s not “Basic Qualification” but more directed towards “Are you not incompetent”. They test numerous things regarding Memory, English, Maths and Spacial Orientation. Approximately 8 to 10 different tests over a span of 3-4 hours.

i don’t fully believe this is part of the mandatory psychological assessment that is required. You are referring to the mandatory psychological assessment which should be performed by a certified psychologist. This wil be done during the interview, if I’m correct. These are just some tests they do to see if you have “skills” that are coupled to flying.

This is what is required in the psychological assessment, I assume some of it is done in the BQ, but I don't know what the BQ contains.
It might be done at a later stage, but its not just the interview, it usually contains some group exercises, mathematic calculations and a few other tests.

In the past , if you had previously passed the BQ stage of an assessment, the result remained valid for any future applications . Not sure if Interpersonal are still doing that.

Well my question has anyone been invited to Bq after new year ? Afaik they are looking now and deciding who to bring in for the bq. I would be surprised if people are already beyond BQ.

I received two weeks ago the email that I meet all the requirements and they will be deciding in the coming weeks who will be invited for the BQ. Still no date for my assessment and no idea yet how it proceeds after the BQ though...

I did BQ, also online and other friends/colleagues of mine are doing so in the coming days. Recruitment is ongoing if I’m correct. However, am not sure if the amount of pilots they’re looking for.
