French is the OFFICIAL language in Lux.........
Do we now have a German mafia in CV ? In my day it was Icelandic.

I knew that, that's why I asked about it ;)

@ midnight cruiser
I dont speak German, nor do some of the other people hired last few years.

Chinese
 

Not French, not German, not Burgerish.
It of advantage when you speak CHINESE!:ugh:

Ok, so we've ascertained that German's not required. Can those that have been taken on elaborate on their flight experience. I've only got TP time, so I'm expecting there to be hundreds of applicants with jet time.

Blueskiesup.

Yep, close to 5500 TT with 2000 PIC 737, Have been waiting for "the" call for over 2 years now :( There must be loads of applicants, I guess we have to be patient and await our turn!

Does anybody know if the skytest Cargolux thingy is usefull to prepare stage one at Saarlouis?

Its always an advantage if you speak the local language and as french, german and lëtzebuergesch are the official languages in Luxemburg, it might be an advantage to speak one of those languages.

EAM, see post # 1034 . All languages are used ( you missed English ) but only one is "official " .

ahh sorry, didn´t know that has been changed recently.
Maybe you wanna update this:

Lëtzebuerg (Land) ? Wikipedia

Guess he was talking about CV, look at the topics name, not Luxembourg,
smart...!
All this bully about german or whatever you need to talk to join.
Neither are any Germans a majority in the last 100 of the senlist, nor is there any language preferred except english, which we speak on the line.

question on #1029 was: Why should you need to speak German

answer on #1032: German is required for is an official language in Lux,

reply on #1034:French is the OFFICIAL language in Lux.........

So we are talking about Luxemburg and why it would be an advantage to speak one of the THREE official languages in Luxemburg, french, german and lëtzebuergesch when joining CV.
Of course it is not a requirement, but as said, it is always an advantage to speak the local language.
Guess we are done with that now.

People and Languages - Luxembourg.lu - Luxembourg at a Glance

The website claims to be: "the official website of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. An international business card of the Grand Duchy on the web, the site is a gateway to non-commercial information about the country."

Interestingly enough there is neither a German nor a Lëtzebuergesch version of that website, only a French and English one. Nice and confusing: welcome to LUX! :{ :ugh: :8

I'm using Skytest to prepare…Anyone know if there's an ATP quiz?
Anyone has been lately there?

I'm using skytest as well. Do we have to perform math questions?
Don't think there will be ATPL questions

Haven't heard or read about any math...

They normally look for pilots with long-haul experience. People who is used to oceanic flights.

They only look for 21 year old Germans with 15 years long haul experience over Oceans and 10.000h in command of a 747-8, minimum 5 languages fluent!

:ok: :cool:

I'm very sorry to be that ironic to all the interested new guys. I know, some of you have been waiting for a looong time for an answer. But I see a tendency in the last few pages of this, otherwise, very informative thread, to be hijacked by outside people which have absolutely no idea of the hiring criteria, to post more than ridiculous demands, tips or whatever.
Stick to what the company asks for, no booby traps, nothing, no german, long haul, super powers or anything else required. All this specials are mentioned by outsiders with, obviously no internal knowledge at all.
So my ironic quotes are strictly to these people and not anybody who seriously wants to join.

16down2togo, indeed very true. At the same time a very enjoyable post :D:ok:

No stupid rumours, please
 

Hotelpresident said "They normally look for pilots with long-haul experience. People who is used to oceanic flights."

This is absolutely not true... I say it again: this is a rumour you just want to create for a reason which is out of my knowledge, but this is NOT correct.

Assessment Saarlouis
 

Hi all,

I've been reading the whole tread and it is quite informative, thanks to all contributed :)

I was wondering if there is anyone who went to the Assessment in Saarlouis recently who can confirm if the day(s?) is still as described in post #391 from loulou.
And has anyone of you used sky test as a preparation, was it useful? and which tests of sky test were also in Saarlouis?

I hope there is anyone who wants to share some information:)

This thread is awfully quiet now considering things are looking to be on the up and up?

IBF Assessment Details requested
 

Hello everybody,

I am also invited to the IBF and I have also been following the whole thread for a little while. However information about the assessment at the IBF is pretty old on here...

Has anybody lately gone through the testing?

It would be so nice if you could share your experience with us, since I believe there are many people on here which might be invited to the IBF, too.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,

I have been told "the sorry", so I am not invited to the next step. My experience is nearly 4000 hours with 2800 medium jet... According to the e-mail my experience is not good enough comparing it to the rest of applicants. It's disappointing.

Good luck for those who have been invited to do the tests...

Regards.

Hi SkyStar02,

feel sorry for you, but may I just confirm something, what do you mean by next step and medium jet also ?
Thanks.

Hi Skystar02.

really sorry for you!

But could you give us an update about the two day assessment at IBF?
I think there are a lot of interested guy's in here...

All the best for you!
Cheers!

Hi guys,

Sorry. I meant that Interpersonel sent me an e-mail. I could not even go to the IBF. A friend of mine went last year and told me that he spent a day (nowadays) split in two days in an assesment doing psicotechnics, interview and a little ATPL exam. That is all my friend told me. I cannot be sure at 100% is how they are doing right now.

This is the e-mail:

Thank you once again for your application for a pilot's position with Cargolux Airlines International S.A.!

As we have only a limited number of vacancies but are receiving a large number of qualified applications at the same time, Cargolux has decided to take your application on file. We regret, that we are not in the position to invite you for the next step in the selection process at this time.

If you are still interested to maintain your application, please keep your contact data valid in our system - if not, you may use the function: "cancel application" after selecting your application from the menu: "my applications" in your account.

Good luck for those who are so lucky and invited to the interviews.:ok:

Regards.

I new from other candidates, thats the first answer that Cargolux allways send.

We have to be patient and persistent, up-date our file, until they call us.

I knew that th company is a very to work for.

Good luck !

@Skystar02: It's not a matter of qualification but rather a question of fitting the profile or not.

Currently CV is looking mainly for 747 type-rated candidates and these will be taken care of more promptly. The only exception are pilots from LG, they will have priority over any other candidates.

Of course the whole issue with Henan doesn't really help and the upcoming contract will determine, how many people will be hired and what profile they need to fit. Everything is about to change in the months to come...

China's HNCA acquires a 35% stake in Cargolux

Latest news

03DEC2013

Cargolux (CV, Luxembourg) is set to welcome China's Henan Civil Aviation Development & Investment Co (HNCA) as its new 35% shareholder after the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg approved the USD231million deal. Among the details agreed include the establishment of Zhengzhou as Cargolux's second hub after Luxembourg with provision for a 4x weekly service between the two cities. Zhengzhou is an important IT manufacturing hub. According to Cargofacts, the agreement does not preclude the relocation of Cargolux business segments to Henan. In terms of voting rights, HNCA will be able to veto any decision proposed by Cargolux's Executive or Supervisory Board. In terms of labour and job security, the OGBL union has voiced its own concerns about possible outsourcing of jobs and operations to China, despite a government pledge that it would not happen and a similar promise in a draft commercial agreement.

Same e-mail after I applied. That was 3 months ago.

Cargolu...china
 

Any update on what Trancada posted?

What is the general feeling inside the company? Does it change recruitment requirements?

Also, whats the deal with the ... :}

Hello pilot hans,

To be honest I don't remember when I submitted my aplication. Maybe two years ago. I update it every time it needs to be so. This is the second e-mail in two years.:ugh: which I have received.

As they said to me, I have to be patient. I wonder if it really helps but there is no other option at this time.

Good luck.

Have any non type rated pilots bern hired lately other than from Luxair?

Heard of a non TR guy currently starting with Cargolux. Ex 757/767
