Travel Expenses !!
JamesTK .....
Quote "P.S HOPE THE SHORT NOTICE TO CALL YOU TO DUBLIN DID'NT MEAN THE AIR FAE WAS OVER £220. (IT WAS)"
I was aware of FR's choice practices ........... but am I to gather that this tends to be the norm in the industry !!!??? It gets better
In my experience of industry outside aviation when ever I've been for a full time professional position in engineering the companies have always picked up the travel expenses !! This included a weekend trip from Ottawa to Vancouver once and included a flight and all expenses for myself and WIFE !! Now I'm not suggesting airlines should pay for spouses to tag along but give us a break !! These airlines have us pilots down for right MUGS !!! (no offence James TK.

I got the same letter you got and am a bit perplexed by it. Having attended the aptitude tests, I would have thought that either we didn't meet the required standard, in which case they would have told us we were unsuccesful, or else we did, in which case, why have our applications been "held on file", which as you say is normally taken to be a PFO.
I guess a call to Swords might be in order. I'll post here if I get any kind of an answer out of the people at Cityjet.
Cheers

I was thinking of phoning too thinking that maybe I was just temporarily being fobbed off, but as I say, I was sure I was clutching at straws.
And if I'm honest, I'm crap at those kinds of phonecalls. Probably the main reason I've been a Wannabe for so long. If you do succeed please let us know what they say.
Anyone out there got any advice on how to nicely get in the faces of perspective employers?
Does phoning Ryanair help or are we expected to just pay £50 and sit longing for a right seat job?

Apparently Cityjet have filled their requirements for the time being but the letter we got, swaairways, was one that they send to people who will be called for interview should they need people in the future, viz our performances in the aptitude tests met the required standard.
I guess all we can do now is hope they start recruiting again soon!

Cool. You spoke to someone then?
You'll see me perched on the roof of EIDW with a 2.2 rifle picking off any fo's stepping out of a 146. (though I wonder if that might comprimise my psychological assessment!)

Psyco Assesment, we each fork out about sixty grand just to qualify to be told to F**k OFF and they have to pay a doctor to see if we are mad. I have an idea, pay me what they pay the doctor and I will tell myself that I am a few cans short of a six pack.

The above site is exactly what you would expect from a cityjet test. except for the verbal part of it. Having been to the one in paris in August, I found out that this is as close as it gets.
good luck all.
you might need to register first with these guys.registration is free.

Cityjet Interview
Dear All,
I went to Dublin in May for Cityjet aptitude tests. A few weeks later I received a letter stating "We were interested in your application and will be contacting you if any suitable vacancies arise". So I phoned them to ask about this letter and they said that I had passed the tests and will be called for an interview. Since then I've phoned once a month and they keep saying that I will be called for an interview but don't know when yet. Are they usually this slow? A friend of mine went to the same aptitude tests and had his interview in August. Everytime I phone they've had the chance to tell me to get lost but they insist I will get an interview. Maybe I'm a bit impatient but it has been 4 months since my aptitude tests!
Who else has been to Dublin for aptitude tests with Cityjet? If so when and have you been called to an interview? If so when? I'd appreciate any info on this as I'm slightly concerned.

they seem to like giving people the run around! was promised an interview and then nothing, phone calls and nothing, strange. rumor was that they were having trouble with the Paris base as the pilots hated it, but that's all i know, they have a quota to fill before the end of the year but its interesting to hear that there are others that actually got the interview and were successful and natha! very, very, odd! maybe another call to Dublin!

Anyone been called for an interview with Cityjet?
I'm just curious since I just received a "thank you but no" letter from them after my online application (about 3 weeks ago I think)
If you did, what where your qualifications?
