Seems strange that they wouldn't even call me for an interview then, I have almost 1500 hrs of which close to 900 are twin time, FATPL with MCC.

Ah well

A few mates who are flying for Cityjet say that recruitment is an ongoing process and that interviews are being held year round.
They consider all levels of experience, people with a fATPL and 250 hours TT as well.

I sat the tests in August, got a reply 2 weeks later stating I was successfull but also stating that all immediate places have been filled for the moment and they put my application on hold for 6 months.

Haven't heard from them since, but when looking at the expansion plans my wild guess is that there will be some movement in the next couple of months or so

Regards
BT

Sigmar Aviation & Cityjet Scheme

Would anybody in this forum know of the money required for the Sigmar and Cityjet scheme?
Just think, being accepted onto the Sigmar Aviation Jet Pilot Programme run in association with CityJet, in 18 months you will be positioned to a rewarding Pilot career finding yourself flying one of CityJet's aircraft throughout Europe.
Just wondered if anybody had inquired, i'm being asked by a few people but am away from home to ask those in the know?

I believe it's going to be in the region of €100k.....I don't think they've finalised it yet.

90000 seems a bit low yyz, especially including all the extra's you've stated. Do you know if its full funding for everything, or are CityJet paying out some of the cost to maintain a bond?

Thanks for any info guys.

Thanks for all the info YYZ, it has been greatly appreciated ny several people who have been asking me. Are you working for Sigmar or Cityjet or just interested in the scheme yourself?

Recceguy,

The handful of people accepted, although I see where you are coming from, are in fact short listed based on 5 assessment stages including psychometrics, psychological, interview with Sigmar, interview with CityJet, etc. This is why the programme is only open to a 'handful' of people - the selection process is rigorous. Generally, those who will be successful, would come from a highly educated background. Thus differentiating itself from other training schools/ programmes.

If you have any other questions, PM me - I'd be glad to give you some more insight.

It'll be worth the experence of a personality+aptitude test for the airlines, nothing new though. Seen 'em all before in previous interviews and training/coaching over the years.

Still, though, will it all be worth it ??
No mention of the pay rates at Cityjet yet.
Also no mention of buy-in from Cityjet for a bond on the type or some other incentive. Just organising a loan and job ? Small ask, big-big loan.

Cityjet/Sigmar Scheme

Well had the aptitude tests today. How did you all do?? They were pretty tough!

What did everyone think of the presentation. "95,000 for the training and IF cityjet are hiring when you finish, they will pay for the Type rating".

I didnt really like the sound of all the IF's??
