Cityjet??
It is for CityJet. They invited me for this aptitude testing. It will be 3 hours.
Wow you may be flying for Thomas Cook then. Lucky you! Maybe you can get me a job one day..
So did you do all your training at OAT then? I take it you are an integrated student then.

Ooops sorry I should've made myself clearer - I have applied for the Thomas Cook sponsorship scheme with OAT, I am through to stage 2 to actually getting a place on the course - not actually started yet!
Competition will no doubt be stiff so I'm just trying to prep as best as possible!
Are you qualified and going for direct entry then, or in a similar position to me? I must be honest I haven't heard a lot about CityJet.

You got through the aptitude tests then I take it? Haveyou got any info on them? I am leaving tomorrow for Paris, but just wondered if you had quick and final tips.
Cheers,

CityJet expansion
Slightly off topic, but RTE had an article yesterday on CityJet buying new aircraft.
http://www.rte.ie/business/2006/0713/cityjet.html
"CityJet, the Air France owned Irish airline, is to spend $221m (€174m) on replacing and expanding its fleet.
The airline, which operates five flights a day from Dublin to London City Airport, has bought 23 planes that had been repossessed from a bankrupt US airline. In addition to the Dublin-London route, CityJet operates on a number of other European routes into Paris.
The new planes will be used to replace some of the older BAe146 jets that have served the company for more than 12 years.
Geoffrey O'Byrne-White, CityJet's chief executive said that this was the largest investment in the history of the airline. The first of the new aircraft will be in service by next November and all will be operating by mid-2007.
CityJet is based in Swords, Co Dublin, and employs 580 staff. The airline carried 1.5 million passengers last year, with a turnover of €254m, an increase of 18% on the previous year."

same ac though
Don't get too excited the (NEW) Planes are Avro RJ 85 from mesaba in the US. They are basically just an updated 146 with Efis, same airframe same systems and 4 slightly bigger apu's.... ahem sorry engines but might sound good if u know the difference in the interview. Good luck to all. Buy the way Cityjet are getting a RJ sim in Dublin to be Up and Running by Xmas.

Cityjet sim assessment
I am invited to the Cityjet sim assessment on the 4th of October .
My question on this forum is double:
1) Can anyone give some more info on what they usually ask???
2) Becaus it has been ages since I flew in a (serious) sim I have booked two sim sessions (2h each) on the 737-200 in Dublin (same as for Cityjet and Ryanair simcheck)with an instructor for sunday 1st of October. If anyone is interested in flying too we can each do 1h PF and 1h PNF and share the costs (350€/h). It is not cheap but I really (really) want that job so I am convinced it is worth it.
Contact me via PM for further details if you are interested.
Thanx

Firstly, this thread is in the wrong forum. If you have over 2000 hours and are currently employed, you are not a Wannabe! You should have posted in Terms and Endearments.
Secondly, advertising your spare seat in the simulator is directly counter to Pprune's Terms and Conditions. Advertisements in the open forums are not allowed.
Thirdly, the subject is now out of date. The thread will be closed.

Well, I passed those CityJet tests and was informed I was put in a pool, awaiting next phase. And then I got a letter about 10 days ago saying thank you for your interest in our company, and good luck in your search with finding a job. So even if you pass those tests it doesn't seem to matter, as you may not get a job anyhow!!
