Can anyone who has attended the Thomsonfly Day 1 please give a run down of what is involved.
I believe its Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Group exercises
Are there any interviews day 1?
What are the group exercises based upon?
Many thanks

Why are you in Wannabes? Read this. It's easy to find; it's a 'sticky' at the top of the forum.
Take your query to Terms and Endearments.

Hello Andy,
Thomsonfly need to crew their 737s at Doncaster and Coventry. they do need direct entry Captains at the moment and i'm absolutely sure you need to be current as a Captain on type or something similar to get straight in the left hand seat.
They also need First Officers and although a type rating may help it won't be compulsary. So whatever your hours or experience dont be put off. theyre looking for the right kind of people and that could mean you.
I have so far only attended the selection day which doesnt even include an interview... i think this is designed to divide the group into who they want to interview and who they dont!!
this consisted of a group exercise (taking part in a chat about a company and its problems) theyre looking for you to take part and not take over! Then an English Verbal reasoning test (you will run out of time!)
Then a maths test... if i blew the day, this was my downfall!!
Get some algebra books from the library, this is all school leavers stuff but i left school 20 years ago!!
I understand day 2 is a formal interview, a chat with a psychologist and a sim ride!!... Cant wait!! (if i get that far!)
To answer your question, i have 7,000 hours including 1000 comand 737 but that doesnt guaruntee anything!
All the best and good luck.

Indeed they are looking for people that fit into the company...but which company doesn't select that way??
Day one is verbal reasoning, math test, group exercise, a couple of other tests..
day two is the sim ride, interviews (hard ones)...
I am a dutch guy and I finished all the questions...had enough time... Just prepare well!
Math test also... get your schoolbooks of the addic and start studying!
I was impressed by the professionality of Thomsonfly, the relaxed atmosphere and the very good coffee...
