it seems from previous posts of yours that you are infact recently qualified. So why would you be applying for a cadet programme??!!
this is true, suddenly all airlines will start a cadet training as long you have the 100'000 euro to give them.It seems it's the only way to maintain their airline in this bloody bath.
Pilots like us, with a few hundred or thousand of hours, don't know where to go now. There are so many pilots all looking for a first job.
this industry has become a joke, I am sick of it!
I just regret to have start flying training with my own money years ago.

The interview will quite likely be a two or three onto one affair with a senior pilot, cabin crew and HR.
Numbers are right-composition wrong! Likely to be 1 pilot & 1 HR in first interview, 2 pilots and 1 HR in the second interview. Impressing cabin crew reserved for overnights
!!
Rest of it is about right!

Hi folks,
Firstly, good luck to one and all. I'm old enough to have been eligible for the last Aer Lingus sponsorship scheme back in '99 I believe - that's 1999 btw and I can remember it vividly - fear, excitement, inexplicable disappointment.
Would be really interested to hear if anyone over the big 30 was called for the online assessment?
Thanks,

PS: previous post regarding assessment is in line with my experience. Initial test based screening is to meet a pre-defined standard.

@ Shamrocker
@ Shamrocker - I am 40 
and was invited to the online assessment.
I don't know if they screened the applications prior to issuing invites, I have a bit of experience in aviation, which may have swung it for me - I am a trained ATCO.

Hi all, first post. When i was completing the online assessments I was unable to complete the verbal reasoning part due to a ''technical difficultly'' (thats what the page displayed anyway) and it has been blocked ever since. However I completed all the other parts and have since emailed aer lingus 3 times about what happened and had no response. Just off the phone with the HR department 5 minutes ago and they said, they have had a huge amount of applicants and a huge amount of queries, they are working their way through each of these, so it may be a while before we find out.
Good luck to everyone who has applied

Im watching a thread on another forum, similar to this one, and it appears one of the posters got word today that they were successful and are invited to stage 3... And he has a CPL already.

Rumours and poorly-informed guesswork seems to be the order of the day. A look at the thread on boards.ie should tell you all you need to know about how much solid information anyone has.
