Tyrolean selection

[Vainilla]

Many thanks for the information, it doesnt seem very easy to take a position with them.

Studying like a crazy.

Many thanks again!!!

[dartagnan]

amongst pilots, we say it is one of the hardest interview in Europe.
regrettably the T&C at Tyrolean are not good in my point of view.

[Vainilla]

What do you mean with T&C???

[Andrén]

What do you mean with T&C???

Hi,
I think he means terms and conditions.

Anyway, I just got a letter of invitation today. I'm to attend the first day on the 25th of november.

I'm just wondering if anyone els have been invited?

I'm also interested in hearing more information about the selection process. Especially the psychometric testing. I would really love to have some new information about what to expect.

Hi Vainilla Im Spanish Too.are You From Valencia?
Im From Madrid And I Am Also Invited To The Selection In Innsbruck On The 25th November.
What Do You Think About This?should We Go Or Not?but Taking A Look The Situation In Spain !!! I Think Is The Best Way For Start To Work!
Good Luck Hasta Luego

[Vainilla]

Well I have been invited the 19 th and during three days , but if the first day i don´t pass then come back home.

good luck

[dartagnan]

should We Go Or Not

guys, I would suggest you to go for these reasons:

1)you can practice interviews and get a good idea what to expect in other interviews.

2)they offer free flight and pay for hotel rooms (except breakfast at 5 euro)

3) you may be successful and land a job in their Fokker100 after giving them 28'000 euro.

so 2 days in innsbruck will cost you no more 40-50 euro food included.

remember than 1-2 years ago, tyrolean was asking 300 euro for this interview.

be nicely dressed,tell them you are coming and have fun in Innsbruck.

Please report your experience once back!

Flight tickets to Innsbruck

Hi,i will fly on the 24th ,i think is much better just for take a look where the places are,hotel,meeting point.
Regarding to the flight tickets i have no idea,i sent them an e-mail asking it but no answer yet.I will go to the Austrian Airlines desk and i´ll ask them.
If i know something i will tell you asap.

see ya

[dartagnan]

for flight ticket contact the lady who called you for the interview. they have a booking department for staff.come the day before of course.

their building is 3 minutes walk from terminal.
exit the terminal, turn left direction downtown.the building is a big metallic building on the left.

I think there is a "sport hotel" close of the airport (you can walk). the 2 other hotels on their list is on the opposite side of the airport, and u need a taxi.

hotels are confortable and some have even free wireless.

Flight Tickets

I received the confirmation tickets today from the woman that sent me the email from the interviwe and , you have to call the hot line ticket for confirmation two days before , I am going the 18 of november and come back the 20.

Cheers!

[EjetSetter]

And in 3 years from now Tyrolean won't be asking for 28,000 for a type.

[TOMASA]

Yes Please!!!

I´m In The Same Situation,it´s Absolutly So Much For Study It In 2 Weeks.

Thanks A Lot Guys.

[Vainilla]

Air Law

I have reviewed , Anex 2 , Anex 6 , Anex 11 , Document 4444 , Jar-OPS procedures , Document 8168 , Document 7030, This is what i Have most reviewed and think is enough.

Good luck

[Vainilla]

I have no idea of that book ( Gleim ) but if you review a bit all the anexes I think it´s ok to pass it.

[dartagnan]

it s 100% FAA (gleim book), forget your CRP5.I don't remember to have seen any JAR question.
it s mainly about graphism reading and there is nothing to calculate except an easy weight and balance to do which will take you 4-5 minutes.

study load factor(answer from the graph), aerodynamics(answer from the graphs), propeller twisting(angle of attack or incidence?), X wind max (from graph), taxiway sign to read (easy stuff), why engine become hot (mixture too rich or too poor?)...forget about JAR AIR law.

this exam is not so hard cuz you have time and no much to calculate , just read the question, go to the graph, and pick the best answer.

If you haven't study the gleim at all recently (like me)or any FAA quizz in the past, you should be OK!

Don't stress too much cuz the chances to be selected are very very slim anyway.Just go to Innsbrusk, pass the test, have a dinner with other pilots and exchange info where else to apply,...

good luck

Dartagnan, did you get in?
Boeingbus 2002, did you get in?
And if so, is it true about the deel that Tyrolean arrange for the loan at their bank?

Happy landings u all..

[Bigglesdan]

Hi Dartagnan,

Can you remember what kind of Nav/Met questions they asked?

Are the performance and Weight and balance mainly from CAP696/698?

Cheers

Dan

[dartagnan]

one question on weight & balance to calculate, very easy.
3-4 weather questions slightly harder.
I don't remember of any nav questions.
again, nothing to learn just use your "bon sens" !

[TOMASA]

Hi dartagnan.
Did you pass the first exam?Cuz im studying like crazy but if you say that i feel much better.
Regarding to the flight tickets,who knows when they use to send the confirmation,cuz im still waiting.

Thanks a lot,
