Did anyone actually pass this time?

[INSIDEVIEW]

sorry to hear

Well my friend ...guess why!!
I,and i wanna underline the I,think that u are in better company if u speak german...
I fly alot in spain and france and to be honest i think i can forget applying for Air nostrum or any other spanish our french carrier just for the reason im not speaking the language....
Spain and french Air space sucks due to the language reason ...

But back to the topic....

Also sorry to hear u failed ...what was the reason ..which day ??

How about u write here what u experienced...
How long was Morawetzes test?
Cheers buddy and AUF WIEDERSEHEN !!

Knowing german very well would of course be beter, however of all the people who passed this round no one was really proficient.

Out of the 25 people who came through CAE 7 went on to the final interview today. I don't know yet how many passed but I heard rumours that the first two didnt make it. There were also 5 other people who applied directly to Tyrolean and only 2 made it through the ATPL test.

I failed on the psycho tests, this was this tuesday. The computer tests took about 5 hours with loads of different things. Similar to the DLR tests. The interview with Dr. Morawetz was a joke. It took about 15 minutes and he only asked questions such as: where were you born, where did you go to school, what do your parents do, and, for some reason, have you ever had a near death experience.

just got the final word, 3 people passed the final interview. One person who spoke perfect german did not pass, so much for the language requirement. They are sticking to their pass rate, only 12% this time...

[TheFlyingDJ]

What are the backgrounds (age,schools etc) of those 3 ? (if you know it offcourse)

[lalbak]

All 3 are dutch, somewhere in the age range of 21 to 26 i'd say. Not completely sure about their school background. I know 1 or 2 come from the KLM flight academy. The 3rd person might be from another school. all 3 low timers

[scubafly]

One of them is french and doesn't speak a very good german but apparently enough to get the job. I think he made the difference (like the 2 other guys) wih the psycotechnics and of course after at the interview

[lalbak]

If the french guy got through the total will be 4. I heard that he didnt pass and he hadn't gotten his results yet when i saw him on the flight back to vienna

[Skipping Classes]

There was also a DASH-8 Canadian captain with 5000+ hours on DASH-8 who did not pass the computer tests phase as well.. Go figure?

Isn't about time that you all stop wondering how/why/when/who/how many TYR is gonna hire? To my knowledge a guy with NO GERMAN AT ALL was hired in ne of the last selections in 2006.No need to say he (she) was a low TT. How did this happened?

Guess what...75% or better ATPL scores on day 1, cool brain with Dr.M. during day 2, average simride (still within limits) and smart answers facing the good & bad cop during the panel interview.

So...stop banging your head in search on a math-solution and back to basics: books, sim, persona presentation. The longer you stick here, the less chances you have to get hired...

worth it

Hey guys. I ve heard about the selection process in Tyrolean and somebody told me it was quite hard. I am supposed to make an interview soon as i have passed the exam in CAE. I have not too much hope in this but have little questions about. Do you know how it works after the selection process? does the company give you a bond or do you have to look out for the money? and in the case you pass the selection do they give some letter or contract before spending all the money (example Vueling with his letter of intentions)?

Thanks a lot and good luck for those who were lucky.

August 13th and 14th

Hi,

I sent my CV to VO mid-july and they've just invited me to a sel in Innsbruck, on August 13th and 14th. Anyone else attending the sel ?

Any help would be appreciated, especially from people who went there recently (profiles, type of technical questions - are they still working with the FAA book ?, preparation to the pscychotests, interviews, etc.)

David / Vielen Dank

PS : They told me German wasn't a requirement for this sel.

Psycho

I attended a couple of months back. Passed the exam, which wasnt that bad really, just have a look through your old question papers on Met, Law, Nav and whatever else they said on the invite. 8 out of 20 failed that tho and went home. The rest of us went onto do the Psycho test which was an experience. You get thrown a whole heap of stuff, questions about you, 'what comes next' with shapes, colours and numbers, my favourite was the task of picking out the number 83 and/or 23 or neither from a 6 x 6 double digit grid. 60 of those. Extremely boring which is the point I think, you do tend to miss some eventually. Got to stay an extra night but told in the morning that my results were ' negative'. No explanation as to why. 3 out of the 20 got through to sim, all German too. Innsbruck is a nice place though and if you are into snow sports, its the dogs. Give it your all.

Psychotests

Thanks Pieman !

I hope I'm luckier than you at the psychos then !

And I also hope you have found a nice position since then...

I hope you are luckier, if I knew what they were looking for I could tell you, but I dont..
I'm enjoying doing Instruction for the minute, we will see what happens in the future. Thanks for the thought.

[MaxReheat]

Jeez........you guys are going to fly a Dash, not a space shuttle. Sounds as if the psychos run the show. You've got an ATPL and passed the exams - what more do you have to prove?

[inner]

With the psycho tests, are there also verbal reasoning tests?
grtz

[Pieman007]

Nothing verbal

No verbal tests (apart from the interview with the doc afterwards). You sit at a desk with a laptop in a room with everyone else. There is a listening test you do and you put some headsets on for that, I think it was determining between a single and a double beat.. i forget now.. pretty entertaining.

[inner]

ok thx, and what to expect with the doc and the interview with the staff??

[Pieman007]

Why do you want to be a pilot? Why VO? Why Austria? Have you applied to any other airline? Tell me about your childhood and family. Had a near death experience? (I said no, so you might want to make one up ?!), previous work experience, do you speak German? In a relationship? stuff like that.
