Aer Lingus now recruiting Direct Entry F/O's

[G-GOLF]

Congrats !

Havent heard a thing myself since applying

Best of luck to you !

[Love_joy]

The weird thing is they turned down a number of experienced, high calibre AND Irish guys who are desperate either to go green, or to move nearer home.

These are all guys n gals I'd have come work for me in a heartbeat, I really don't understand it. Especially as other non Irish pilots I know going for interviews are only in it, and I quote, "for the rating".

I have been called as well.

Up to now, no infos at all: any idea about what they offer or what to expect ?

Folks, take a peek at Aer Lingus Vacancies page !

Applications open again for DE First Officers.

Applied Nov 2010 - Like many, still waiting.

Pleeeease pleaase pleeeeeease haha

I don't understand why they haven't screened everyone from the last round of recruitment. My CV is clean, it has lots of glass cockpit, multi crew turbine hours too and not even a sniff of an interview. Quite odd considering I hear they were struggling to find suitable candidates. I guess it just depends on their interpretation of "suitable".

[NukeHunt]

According to the application....

If you have already applied in 2010, there is no requirement to re-apply as we are also continuing to work through existing applications

[Coffin Corner]

If they haven't screened all the applications from the last batch then why on earth re-advertise? Seems a little odd unless they are coming to the bottom of the pile, in which case my CV must be right at the bottom for some reason.

[G-GOLF]

I sent mine by post...... I'd say it has since been pulped and recycled

[Coffin Corner]

I did too GOLF. I also had the confirmation email to say they had received it. Did you get the email too?

[G-GOLF]

Yup I got the confirmation too, about 3/4 weeks later.

Maybe they've left the postal applications until now ! Heres hoping haha...

Im sure I read somewhere on here that they messed up the forecast of recruitment needs.. wonder if thats the reason behind the latest advertisement.

Application update

I applied online last year with the initial recruitment. Recently i sent an updated CV, fully expecting them to say i couldn't do it, but i got a reply thanking me for my CV and that it would be added to my application. They said that recruitment and the initial screening process was still ongoing and that i would be contacted if found to be suitable!!

Not holding my breath, but at least it wasn't a PFO..... yet!!!

Hi everybody,

Do I need to have a current ME/IFR at the time of application. I fulfill all other requirements, including a320 type rating, except for this. Do you think my application would be regected, even though I am planning to renew in the coming months?

Regards.

[costas1979]

I have a valid License but my IR and ME have expired

Did you include your cv/cover letter with your initial application or not? I want to apply but it just seems a little "bare" only sending in the application form with no cv/cover letter.

m-o

You should read the application:

" • Do not attach a CV or any other documentation in support of your application. Only information requested in this
form will be considered.

Grading

Hi guys n girls,

Any idea what the sim grading is about at Lingus? Going there in 2 weeks so hope someone has some info about the program. I allready have A320 hours under my belt. So I believe the grading is a bit diff from people wihout the A320 TR.

Thanx in advance!

[inner]

I saw that there were questions about how many attempts it took to get your me/ir and other stuff. I guess if you had to re-do an item, you are already out of the box for them.

Good luck to the lucky ones.

[inner]

I don't say that, but i could be an argument for them to select out of the thousands of applications.
