DHL Air UK/LEJ ASSESSMENT
 

Has anyone else been invited to east mids on the 20th oct for low houred pilot assessment, 757 fleet? PM me if you have any tips on assessment and interview.

Hello DA42

Judging from your nickname...am I right if I guess you are a low-timer with no commercial experience at all? Perhaps fresh out of (aviation) college?

I am sorry I do not have the tips you required (a friend of mine has though, but he has flown big Boeings for years B4 joining DHL so his approach might had been different) but if you don't mind me asking...have you been called by DHL UK itself or by Career.aero?

Best luck

DK :ok:

your right drag king, low houred pilot, been out of flight school for over a year now, and this is the first shot I've had since then, and i was sent a letter from DHL UK

I received the same letter too, much to my delight I must say as i've been waiting 14 months and heard nothing back.

In my reply confirmation I asked politely for a breakdown of what to expect, seeing no harm in trying. I don't expect a response though as there's little point in DHL making it easy!

What I can suggest is looking a DHL's general recruitment website to find out exactly what kind of organisation it is. Scouring Flight International magazine for contempory industry issues would also be a plus.

On the day im planning just to turn up smart, on time and be myself (as far as appropriate). From what i've read phase 1 interviews are, in general, just to see that you can work as a team player, can fly an aircraft ok, can cope with a little stress and are as good as you looked on paper. To fail having got an ATPL you would have to be majorly deficient in some area. Its the phase 2, the personal interviews where they really screen the men from the boys. But thats a bridge to cross once part one is done.

Does anyone have the details for contacting DHL UK pilot recruitment?

Checked the DHL site, nothing their and the career aero site seems to only be Germany.

HR, DHLAir UK at EMA

He guys,

I may be joining you guys in the future.
Can 1 of you give me some insides about the Leipzig gig?
Roster and so on?
I was told during interview, either fixed or flex-roster.
Anybody willing to give me/us more info how it works?
And which 1 is more commutable, if at all? (i do have some ideas and no, i don´t live in the uk, but mainland europe)

I am going for a DEC position.
Many thanks!

and yes, i did read previous threads and infos!

You must reside in LEJ, pay german tax as a resident when there, have english as a spoken language that can be easily understood by the other international crews and show CRM skills to fit in with a highly professional workforce.
The contract is limited duration to comply with union rules and protection for the existing first officers. The job is demanding but decent time off compared with contract work or the sandpit.
Hotac is great, allowances reasonable, aircraft well maintained.
You wont sniff a 767 for some years. Bit of a political waiting game meanwhile.
The management and training staff are fair.
Rosters are easy, just follow the rules, live NEAR work and pay your taxes and suddenly it all gets sweet. Limited fixed block roster may be available but not necessarily for contract folks.
If you fit in, then that is fine, if not you will soon realise and move.
Cargo makes huge profit compared to SLF. No cabin crew is just purrfectt.

Does anyone have the details concernig dhl roster and Cpt salary ?

Its a secret and you won't get any information!

Who is going to fly the A306 when they arrive?

All 13 are on the German register, the first one having just arrived. So EAT will operate those.

Theres talk amongst the EAT folks of another 5 beng snapped up from somewhere and going to ACL on the Irish reg, but thar's crew room gossip at this stage.

New 76's arrive next year aswel. Most likey to be operated by DHK but no news yet. Exciting times!

2W2R :ok:

Announced a few days ago that 5 more A300B4-622Rs aquired to take the total to 18. Not stated who will operate these extra ones.

"Exciting Times"????????????

Not for me. I'm definitely out of a job next year!:*

Time to dust off the toolbox and pick up the oily rag again.

Dixi188....

Many apologies, I didn't mean for my comment to be insensitive. It's a real shame about the flight engineers.

All the best,

2W2R :ok:

Does anybody know what the hiring status is with both arms of DHL (UK & EAL)? I have applied with both (emailed CV DHL UK, filled the online form with career.aero for EAL) but nothing heard so far. EAL sends an email every so often saying "...we are making decisions here, sorry to keep you waiting..." but not much else.

I understand some out there got an assessment but the whole thing has received little publicity, right? Me probably not the right type of guy/experience for them but if the pick cadets fresh out of FTOs...:bored:

regards

DK ;)

DK - I believe recruitment to be ongoing, certainly at DHK. Can't answer for EAT. Likewise I have no real insight into the admin part of recruitment so can't advise on why you haven't been looked at yet. Do you know anyone who flies for DHK?

Re: EAT. The last round of recruitment was effectively to a hold pool. They are slowing things down a little as the first aircraft (A300) was a little delayed (According to aero.de it's being handed over at 11 am today).

Expect some recruitment next year, but no info yet on numbers, fleet or seats. As you can imagine, the whole situation is very fluid and complicated at present.

I think first all the A300b4 people will have to come over to the A300-600 before extra recruitment will take place. We also have several Fe that will be ready for a RH seat position after the face out of the A300b4

Regards

Interesting to see Maximus getting in on the act too by providing 2 A300-600's to DHL ... through West Air Sweden!?

Any kind of information about the interview process is appreciated :ok:
Do they use also the DLR test???:\:\

A quick trawl through the old posts will reveal plenty of info about selection.

If applying for EAT, there is no DLR, but the selection through Interpersonal runs along the same lines (CBT, group exercises, interview, sim ride).

KT

Have they (EAT/career.aero) invited anyone with a profile closer to a cadet rather than a TR-experienced freight dog for interviews, yet?
For a while I had automated emails saying "sorry" for the silence, that they were busy making decisions, etc,etc. Then the news of the 13-odd A300-600 came along and...more silence.

From the horse's mouth (DHL UK/HR office) I have recently been told that the whole recruitment process is on hold because it's a busy time of the year for them, etc, etc...

I would say that the almost-demise of Astraeus and the uncertainty over Thomas Cook (both B757 operators) doesn't really help to shed some light.

Regards

DK :ooh:

Will EAT operate all those 18 A300-600s?

@drag king - At least some of the latest 757 recruits are direct from flight school.

@hotelmodemetar - 13 are for EAT. Last 5 TBC.

KT

Is DHL UK still looking for DECs?
Any link or email to apply?

Thanks

Are they taking any type rated pilots?

Hi everyone,

I have done some reserach on pprune but actually haven't found much about EAT/DHL-UK.
Any info or link to the relevant topic would be greatly appreciated: usual stuff like typical roster, $$, leave system,benefits and so on.
Thank you.

S.

EAT will not hire anyone this year!

DHL Air (UK) are holding 2 assessment dates in March at LHR for FOs. 12 month contracts through the usual agency. 757 rating and experience required.

However, if you have already applied directly to DHL Air (even if you have heard nothing) you cannot apply for these agency positions. :}

EAM,

the actual timing wasn't really what I was interested in.

Any insight on the basics of the job at EAT/DHL-UK?

So have you been offered a job with DHL?

EAM,

In order to be offered a job you first need to apply for it and before applying for something usually one gathers all the info required so that he can make an informed decision.

Ok, it was just that you said you are not interested in the fact that EAT is not hiring.
So for EAT they are not hiring this year and there are already pilots on the waiting list.
DHL UK is as far as I know only taking DEC at this time.
All all are LEJ based.
By the time your application will be considered by any of the two companies, the conditions could have changed.
Anyway good luck.

It's not a bad place to be if you can get your head round LEJ basings. Please use the search function - there's a lot on here about DHL, quite a bit posted by me and I can't be bothered to repeat myself. Again. Sorry and good luck.

Why dhl air uk is hiring fo through agencies while at the same time those who apply directly with them are replied "we are not hiring at the moment"?

Dear mates,
has anyone have any information about type of assessment in DHL AIR UK?
wjich kind of test they run the first day in Leipzig?

Unless they have changed it for future assessments, DHL Air UK do their interviews at EMA.
First is an interview with and if that is successful it will be a sim assessment on a 757.

Thanks EAM,
but I think is changed as they told me that the assessment is divided in 2 phases.
First one is in Leipzig and consist in a series of test and group exercise (I'm trying to know which kind of test are ) and 2nd phase is successfull consist in the Interview and SIM.

I'm not 75 rated.
