Im one of the last 6 to be accepted. After going through an apptitude test and two interviews with Cityjet i believe that the programme has gained credibility. Cityjets chief training captain will be in South Africa 3 or 4 times within the 10 months to monitor progress. When questioned they also told me they had input into the design of the course as well.I have spoken to 6 pilots who fly for Cityjet and they have all said that Cityjet are serious about offering jobs at the end of the training. By going elsewhere you are not going to save any money and with the prospect of a job at the end I believe it is a good opportunity. When training is finished Cityjet will pay us while doing the type rating and deduct it from our salary.

CityJet cadet pilot scheme
I agree with several of the other comments expressing caution with this scheme.
It is not tried and tested and you are there is no guarantee of a job at the end of it.
There are several alternatives such as CTC, Oxford or Jerez, all have which have long standing track records and are held in high regard by the airlines.
I believe you should, at the very least, make contact with other graduates of the school in SA for feedback. It may be brilliant, but without sufficient research, you could be a very expensive guinea pig.
Best of luck with whatever course you follow.

Cityjet direct entry captain position
Has anyone recently been invited for the selection for a direct entry captain position with Cityjet? What can I expect? Only a (technical) interview or also some psychological tests and a grading?
Some details would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! E.C.

cityjet and glasses?
Just wondering:
I just checked cityjets online application form and they ask if you where glasses or contacts and then they ask you how long have you worn them.
Why do they ask that???

Cityjet aptitude testing
Before I get told look at previous threads.. I did, but I have noticed the people who asked before me got no response. So I am going to try! Can someone please give me and the other people some information on the type of tests the Cityjet non-aviation aptitude testing are? Which websites have similar sort of tests, and don't say SHL and those ones because I have gone on there and there are not many tests there and also I have the feeling those are not the ones asked.
Cheers,

I managed to submit it, but of course as all airlines have God-like status they do not acknowledge receipt, nor reply, so I can only assume it was received.
Perhaps if i'd done a different course, reduced my age by a few years, paid for my own rating, and offered to work for free for a year they may have let me know they'd got it? Doubt it though.

I have been to the test but unfortunatly I failed at the written test.
From what I can remember of the test there was 4 different subjects.
It started with about 40 math queistions
exampels:
45jj2
+ 5j2
-----
j598j
x=3x^2+4x+4x+2
a) x=3x^2+6
b) x=3x
c) x=3x^2+8x+2
Fractions (alot), division, multiplictions, equations.
General math. I think that we had about 20 min.
the rest was very much like the taskes on the this site.
www.3smartcubes.com
I think there was about 40 quiestions in each subject and we had between 15 - 20 min for each subject. There was no verbal reasoning.
the time pressure was quiet big. There wasn't any suprises. A nice atmosphere.
Hope this can help you to get the job. If you get the job, I hope you remember me, so if we one day meet in one of the worlds many airports you can buy me a beer.
Good Luck

lol yeah I was a little disappointed!
I'm an ideal accountant apparently, I work well with numbers and can work with precision and awareness! Quite tempted to pay for $6 for the full report, I wonder how much more information they could tell you though? It would be good to know my weaknesses.
How about yourself?!

Well they said I was an Animator. This means that you are gifted at visualizing which lets you 'see' objects in three dimensional space. This is accompanied with an 'eye' for detail.
I would have liked to know my weaknesses though!!
Don't suppose you are going to the aptitude testing day in Paris? I need to brush up on my numerical skills.
I know $6 seems so little but you never know if it is a con.

Nope, not heading out to Paris - I am on the Thomas Cook scheme with OAT though, got my stage two coming up in a couple of weeks.
Is the selection you are going to (or I assume you are) for any particular airline or are you just going for the tests for your own information?
All the best!

Just out of interest, has anybody come across any mental maths tester tools? Just looking on google now, I'd rather practise using somebody elses questions rather than having to make them up first!
