ThompsonFly Interview Gen'

Hi there all,

Spoke to Denise Nash of ThompsonFly today. Lovely Lady. Apparently low time pilots have been accepted, no truth to the rumor that candidates need a 737 type rating - or else, nor is it for a pool any longer.

Good Luck.

Hello everybody,

Can anybody give me any information on the interview that thomsonfly do?
What do they ask you? What is the interview with the psychologist?

Thank you for the help.

[DeltaT]

Yes you can write to HR and ask where you went wrong in the selection process, and yes they will write back. However, having asked for it myself, they don't give you the specifics you are wanting, other than to re-iterate that you did not meet their criteria.

Slow_bird1 - lots of information here if you do a search. Look particularly in Terms & Endearment and remember to extend search to beyond last month (default) and to search on Britannia as well as TFly. Format hasn't changed for years.

And from my personal experience I'd advise getting pretty slick at the maths elements (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing fractions. Long division & multiplication. Rearranging formulae. Brush up on times tables - particularly the trickier ones, 7x & 8x) Time was an issue for me and if I'd been quicker I'd have got 40/40 rather than the 35 or 36/40 I think I got.

Selection for FO or SO?

Hi Slow bird1!

Same, brush up your basics maths that will help to gain precious time...
Please let me know if you are called for FO or SO position , what kind of experience do you have, as I got an email that I should be contacted sometime soon??

Good luck

[speedy688]

I'll be there on Thursday. Can't really say much more on the format of the day other than what you will have found on here. The verbal reasoning stuff sounds interesting!

ThomsonFly Interview

Hi guys,

I have an interview with ThomsonFly next week and I was just wondering if anybody had any words of advice as its my first airline interview.

Thanks chaps,

Chris

[avrodamo]

I take it you mean you have first stage? Well.....as far as advice goes get your head in some GCSE Maths books imparticular long multiplication and divsion, linear equations and fractions. Verbal reasoning tests a bit tight on time. Group exercise is where you can shine. I quite enjoyed it on the day which i was surprised about. It's not as bad as it seems!

[virtualaviation]

ThomsonFly must be on a major recruitment spree at the moment as we had three different ThomsonFly candidates book simualtor practice sessions yesterday. For a bit of advice regarding the interview you might want to try contacting Steve Freeman at http://www.futureairlinepilot.com

Good luck!

[Just another student]

I applied about 3 weeks ago. I know a few people in the airline, as I have previously worked for them, but still not a sniff of an interview I must have been really bad at my job lol

I will keep my fingers crossed, but I certainly won't be holding my breath.

Well done on getting an interview, there are loads of topics knocking around regarding the tfly interview process. It would appear that the verbal reasoning test is a little tricky.

Good luck

Thanks guys,

What kind of things are you asked in the verbal reasoning section?

Hi

I've been searching these forums for old posts on the britannia/thomsonfly first day tests and have found some bits of info. A couple of the guys refer to a thread called 'Good news' which supposedly covers the process. I can't find this having trawled thru the archive, wondering if anyone out there can. Got assessment later this month. thanks. any info appreciated

Reasoning tests

Have got the dreaded assesment day next week, never been to one before. Is there a strict pass fail mark eg 75% for the exams or are they just looking for an overall picture of you during the day?

[blue up]

If anyone Reeeealy gets stuck for a bit of T-FLY knowledge then you could e-mail me (9 years on the 757/767 fleet) at [email protected]. Mark it as "attn Fred"
I'm off work for the next 5 days, but don't all e-mail me at once!!!

As for the maths bit, remember that we still get a flightlog with times between waypoints, where we have to start with T/O time and then add the subsequent minutes and arrive with the correct landing time.
ie T/O at 12:47....plus 6 mins=12:53....plus 5 mins= etc etc. You should try getting random numbers between 1 and 59 and adding them up in your head as fast as possible. CSE used to have a 1 hour session of this each morning when I was there.

Anyone fancy generating a computer programme for this and posting it?

Thomsonfly Interview

At last my fellow pilots!!!! I've just received an invitation for an assessment with Thomsonfly.
I did some research, looking at past threads, and the only thing I've found was an example of what kind of mathematics i should expect during day 1.
Could anyone shed some light on the " english " part of the exam? Is it a bit like the on at BA? where you're given like 15 texts and after each one they ask 4 questions and you have to answer if it's true, false, or not enough elements to answer?
During the interview do they ask tech questions? Will ACE prepare for your technical interview be enough? What type fo other questions do they ask at that stage?

Thank you in advance for your help

[Jinkster]

Before Mr Scroggs gets hold of you - have you done a search?

[Bob Fleming]

acrobat what do you mean by ACE?

ps i'm in the same boat as acrobat, so any info much appreciated..thanks

Ace the Technical Pilot Interview - Gary Bristow

A book which the title is self explanatory! Although some mistakes have been noted. A search will show you..!

books

i've just ordered and received 'GMAT for dummies' which seems to have some very relevant stuff for the verbal reasoning test. ordered on amazon for £7 from the States and took about 4 days to get here.
