Multiflight interview/Atlantic part sponsorship

[citation89]

Thanks for the correction, the over 12 hours a day thing was just what I had been told at my Interview by staff at Atlantic.

Hi all,

two questions for now:
Is it still possible to apply ?
Are there any foreigners among previous students ? I am french and very interested in this scheme.
and does anybody know what is the level compare to CTC's selections ?
I ve been trough it last year but couldn't found it.

damn! thats actually 3 questions thats not good for maths test

thanks for all you inputs on this unknown scheme

You an apply still yes but i doubt there will be an intake for a while now as they have just asked 6 people for interview at HQ and if they take any then there will not be an intake for proberly 6-8 months but you can still apply to Leeds yes

they have had french and swedish applications before and this is not a problem as long as you have the right to live and work in the United Kingdom etc etc and can speak perfect english

the selection is quiet different to other schemes dont come in with loads of A levels and a degree etc and expect to walk right through selelction in fact them grades will proberly lower your chances of getting in unless you really are the right person

[MMEMatty]

Not too sure about that last statement. If you do have a degree/A-levels you MAY find some of the academic sections of selection easier than someone without. However having these qualifications will not be held against you throughout selection (as was implied by the previous post)

If you let it go to your head, have an attitude that (I have a degree / 5 A-Levels at Grade A***+, I will walk this, they will beg to let me fly for them) then that WILL be held against you.

As an example, I would say that half of the cadets employed (in whatever capacity) at the moment have University education. I think almost All have A-Levels (or their equivolent)

Also, I would say that "Perfect" English is stretching it a bit. You have to think, you will be working in England, with predominantly British workers, many of whom are products of the UK school of foreign languages (i.e. talk louder and point), so you will have to be pretty fluent in English. But perhaps not "Perfect"

Don't assume you'll defo get through the scheme to your training. The group (not so much Atlantic) has a habit of cutting cadets from the sponsorships for little or no reason.

Hi guys, just a few quick questions about this scheme and applications.

Low hours PPL can still apply for the course and be accepted, but am I right in thinking time spent in the fugly / hangar sweeping stage would be extended until you have built up your hours (self funded) to 150 before commencing further training at multi-flight?

and also, can you still apply to the scheme and be given a conditional offer on the basis that you pass a class 1 medical, if you haven't got one already?

thanks,

Dombeaumont;

I believe that yes, you would have to wait in the UK to finish hours before being sent out to the states to start CPL, although if you are only a few hours short, then you may get sent out to finish the hours building in the US.

You won't be given a conditional offer based on a Class 1 medical. Likely your application will be removed at the paper sift stage in Leeds untill you have Class 1 in hand.

Has anybody applied recently and had any response? Sent in my application about a month ago, had no word either way.
Think it'd be too pushy to phone up and remind them I'm keen? I was thinking of asking to come have a nosy around at Coventry prior to the assessment anyway.

[thetimesreader84]

Keep the faith everyone; there probably won't be an intake before Christmas, and you won't hear untill a few weeks before the start date. I would expect to hear around february / march time, not that I'm involved in the recruitment process.

Can phone up cov if you want mind; not sure how receptive they are to people fancying a nosey around - this is an airline, not a museum. Although you would be forgiven for thinking it's the latter given the state of half the fleet...

Atlantic Scheme

Application is in... was told at the desk that unlikely to hear anything for 2-3 months and unsuccessful applicants will not be notified. Watch this space, good luck to everyone who has applied!

[steggers]

I applied about 2 months ago and have an interview on 2nd December. Do you know what sort of questions they ask, and how hard are the English Maths and Science tests? I know they are multiple choice, but i'm crap with exams. I also have my ATPL theory out the way with an 89% avergae pass rate, so if i do badly on the exams, will this go against me?
Any help would be great.....thanks guys

[gg190]

I also have an interview with them on 2nd December, any pointers/advice on the difficulty of the English/Maths/Science tests would be gratefully received!!

[Too low]

Don’t worry about that. Dead easy, calculators allowed, basic maths, basic physics (I would say GCSE), no rocket science.
If you really are worried just refresh you memory about kinetic energy, speed, accelerations…
English, er...., not even my mother tongue and I made it trough.
Despite what they will tell you, the hard bit is the simulator. About a year ago, all of use made it trough the tests and interview, 1/3 of us got nailed on the sim...
And don't espect any trick/advice, they don't give any feedback.
Good luck
