Hi all,
I'm attending the AA selection day this September! Cant wait!
You haters should get a life, seriously!
My mate is currently on the scheme and she thinks alot of what has been written on the thread is utter cr*p. The interviews / tests / sim assesments are very straight forward and laid back. It doesn't matter how many hours / experience you have AA are VERY funny about who they select! My mate was taken on and he didn't even have a PPL and a collegue of his had 150 hours and all 14 of the ATPL exams.
Good luck to you all and see you at the selection day!

For those of you who are fortunate enough to be attending the assesment day, I can assure you its an absolutely fantastic scheme. The job can be tough at times, but on the other hand, the job will not only develop your aviation skills/knowledge but you as an individual.
The test papers arent too tough.
Maths - Percentages/Fractions/Multiplication/Graphs etc
Science - General Physic questions
English - More of a language test
All papers are multichoice. I would certainly try to find out as much about West Atlantic as you can - Hierachy, Fleet, Routes
Please dont inbox me for any more info as i dont want to make it unfair for others.
On a final note, there is a two page article on the cadet scheme in this months edition of "Pilot magazine" which is out September 8th. I certainly suggest having a read of this, as it will give you snippets of more information.
Good luck and all the best to everyone attending

Could anyone PLEASE post what the maths/science tests in essence consits of? As I am not from the UK, I don't know what level the questions are based on and Im not familiar with GCSE.
Also, if anyone remembers any tech questions from previous interviews, please post them!
Many thanks

Anybody got their feedback yet?
Has anyone else who got the boot and isn't continuing, received their feedback yet?
Also, does anyone know how many of the people moving on to the next selection stage at Multiflight, already hold ATPL exam passes and/or are existing CPL/IR holders? (I'm just asking, as I don't have either yet, but know that some of the "lucky" ones do. I'm NOT suggesting that West Atlantic may have a hiddŁn agŁnda or anything, when they ask for candidates with a PPL(A)&150hrs... but would just like to know, as the majority of people there seemed to have ATPL exam passes as a minimum, and many held a CPL/IR or were working towards it.)
All the very best to everyone regardless of their outcome.
Regards,

)
PS: If anyone who is coming to Leeds is staying over and fancies meeting up for some extracurricular activities involving a beer or two (or white wine for the ladies) then feel free to PM me.

Hi guys,
I've read through this thread and I think you're crazy!! Why would you become a 'fug' or whatever for a few years to fly dirty old cargo planes at night??
Would you not prefer to fly jets with hot hosties?????
If your smart like me you would have hit the folks for cash!
Training didn't take too long and now I'm flying for Europe's cheapest airline!!!
So long....
Fred

To be fair Fred most people just want to fly and probably dont mind flying big dirty cargo planes. i wouldnt and it would be alot more fun than my current job! And the last flight i was on was full of air stewards wearing guyliner, so your hot hosties argument is full of holes!
Unless your not too fussy?
