Question re fee
Could someone here who has applied for this Aer Lingus cadet training program tell me if there is or will be a fee charged for the selection process. If so, how much?

A lot of the language used was quite poor i thought. I would have expected much more efficient way of explaining what was expected from each test.
In particular the Numerical section was quite poor.

To all those asking what to expect from the test, just do it and you will find out. No offense but we are competing against one another so nobody is going to allow somerone else an advantage if you get me...that would be crazy..

Only people like you would say this say this kind of stuff.. people with no confinace.. and no belief in them selfs! The online assesment is only a litttle thing! the main thing is the Interview! If u can nail that then your better than others! People like you wont get too far in life any way dude 
What u need to learn before anything is to have a Big heart! then you'll never lose! But cos I'm not you I'm gonna do the test in a bit and give feedback to everyone! Cos I want everyone to be at the top! Not at the buttom like you

RSTurbo50 is entirely correct. Whilst charming, your sentiments are rather naive and I certainly don't think you are in a position to tell anyone that they 'wont get too far in life'. Are you sure your 21?

First u ask for advice about the assessments and when somebody correctly points out we are competing against eachother u say the assessments are nearly nothing(not important). So why do u ask for advice then ? No offense intended but at this stage of the selection process its every man/woman for him/herself. We'll work on that teambuilding in Dublin

Two questions:
1. Does anybody know how many cadets they are going to take on?
2. Did any of you who have applied pay a fee to do the online test?
An answer to these questions would be much appreciated. I entered this "competition" about 10 or more years ago (in my innocence) and can give you all some clue about the process if anybody's interested. But first, I need to know if anything has changed since I entered, and I need to know if you were charged a fee to enter or if you will have to pay a fee if you are "selected" for the Dublin hotel interview. If so, how much? Thanks

Anyone care to give a guesstimation as to when they will start informing individuals if they are to attend Dublin for further assessment?? I personally reckon they will be sending emails out within a week or two weeks time.

Start of next week I reckon. I'm interested to know whether the initial application will have any weight behind it at this stage or whether its purely going to be on your score in the assessments.

Yes I reckon the initial application will have a lot of weight. Otherwise, I don't think they would of asked for much information on your extra ciricular activities, positions of responsibility etc etc.

B737 Dude, I have no idea what you are talking about to be honest but at this stage it is every man for himself and as a couple of the guys rightly pointed out, the team building shall begin in Dublin should we proceed to the next phase....
Just do the test, if your successful and get through great but at 21, i very much doubt your in a position to preach the complexities of how one is to get far in life at such a young age...
Best of luck everyone and fingers crossed..

Thanks Myles for the info. When you do get "the call" to move into the next stage (and I do think everyone will get the call) please let me know if there's a fee involved then and I will write more at that time because there are some things you all need to be aware of. I've gone through this about ten or more years ago and I will tell you my experience.
Secondly, the idea of RUMOURS being the only source of information as to how many openings there are is kind of strange, don't you think? What if it's ONE? Don't you all want to know what your odds are? Why aren't you all DEMANDING from Aer Lingus this information? RUMOURS are not information.
Keep me informed if there's a fee for the next stage. Thanks.

Hmmm.... (B737Dude)
Apart from being a complete id**t, it seems from previous posts of yours that you are infact recently qualified. So why would you be applying for a cadet programme??!! You, my friend, will go far in life.. Good luck with it all.
