Hi there,
The interview at tfly has no technical questions in it. All of the qustions are regarding to situations you have been in.
EG can you tell us when you have been in a situation of conflict and how you have dealt with it??
I got some interview training and it really helped me give structure to my answers.

thank you all for your frank answers.
But what about the verbal reasoning in english?
PS: yes I had used the search function before starting this thread, and the reason why I am still puzzled about the verbal reasoning part of the assessment is that I cannot find anything relevent to it.
thank you

Hi acrobat,
I would not worry about the english part too much. It is the style of questions you quoted earlier. I passed the test and english is not my first language.
Could anybody out there give me any information about the interview contents of the final stage, please?

Hi all,
As ali1 said the interview is all about you and what you have done,
There are no technical questions in the interview at all, but i was asked about how I did a preflight check on an aircraft, so I went into a bit of detail.
Its only about what you have done so if you havent flown a big jet dont worry, they dont expect you to be knowlegeable about a 737 or 75/76.
It was rather relaxed but remember its an interview. They are not there to trick you or find a weakness they do want to know about you.
The verbal test is very much like acrobat said and to be truthful i found some of the questions really absurd. They are very psyco bable questions as im sure everyone has looked at some where along the line.
The sim test takes some getting used to as long as you show the capability to learn and demonstrate that you can put into practice what you have been told the sim wont be a problem.
I have been in the company for eight months now and its just a buzz to be driving into the staff carpark. Let alone being allowed to fly the jets.
I wish you all the best of luck, ask questions if you would like to.
Best regards

Acrobat, whats your level of experience?
The Tfly website says:

The website does say that but the company is recruiting low-houred guys and Girls. Primarily sourced from either FTE or CTC but it won't hurt to send an application in even if you don't meet the criteria.

Thomsonfly...
Any lowdown anyone can give me on the interview process on this one? From what I've read there's a nightmare maths paper, some verbal reasoning and loads of psychometric tests... Any specific details would be gratefully received!
Good luck to anyone going along!

i can say that there is no interview in stage 1, only the tests that you mentioned. there is stuff on the tests if you do a search, but only bits and pieces.

Thomsonfly Interview.... please help!!
Hi there,
I know it has been asked before and I spent a lot of time going throug the threads.... somehow I still can't imagine what the numerical and analytical tests at the first stage of thomsonfly interview look like. Going through the thomsonfly threads I got the impression that it really is a good place to be, so I would be more than glad to receive some useful hints!
Thank you very much!!!

Has anyone heard about people getting 'chopped' from the initial training at Tfly, ie. the 737 type rating course or maybe when on line training? I was told that they set very high standards and are quick to axe pilots.
It sounds a bit unlikely that they would be any worse than any other company but I would be interested to hear anyhow.

Fly Better....
It's a little early to be talking about being Chopped don't you think?? Not perhaps the preferred mindset to be going into an assessment with.
It is an extremely rare occurrance but yes, it has happened recently.
I personally don't think it is appropriate to discuss this any further here or to say much more on the subject other than Tfly, like any airline doesn't take the decision lightly and provides extra training where needed.

LOL sorry if I sounded negative, I was just trying to get a feel for the company and to get a second opinion on whether Tfly are just a normal company or 'hatchet' men as they were described to me recently.
I tend to take all such comments with a pinch of salt anyhow, Tfly would be my employer of choice .... if I had a choice

As far as i'm aware its YOUR chance to ask a tfly line pilot general things about the company i.e rostering, promotion all the usual stuff.
It hasn't been replaced, it was on the original day one selection that included the group exercise.

Thomsonfly Recruitment Freeze???????
Hi Im supposed to be starting my conversion course on the 757 on 4th sept with Thomsonfly, but just got a txt from my mate in Thomson that they had heard there was a recruitment freeze? 
I have just got all the course details and hotel bookings etc, So im hoping they have just got it wrong as I have already Ive only got a week left with my current company and have almost got rid of my house etc! So this would be very bad news!
Anyone else heard this? Hopefully my mate is very wrong!!!!!!
