Air Baltic: The Atpl Questions

Hi,
Anybody who has done the Air Baltic assessment recently?
I would like to cross check the ATPL questions that I have (and received in the assessment that I undertook April 2010,) with more recent ones.
Any one so kind to contact me and I can send what I have via private?
THANKS AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.

Dear Debs,

I have seen your post. Do you have an appointment with them also? Maybe we can help each other. I have been invited there on the 12th of April and I know which kind of questions to expect as a lot of my friends went there for an interview and some of them passed the selection for the Q400.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Saludos,

Patrick

Hi Samca,

Currently they operate the 737 but they are going to replace them with A319/320. At the moment they are recruting for the Q400 but lets say it's a start .... you get in and afterwards you can move to the other fleet.

Hi Samca,

I received this email, too. I have been told that in the past this was a sure sign you would get an interview date, but now it seems this is no longer the case. After having sent all the requested documents I got a standard rejection email, as did many of my friends at this stage of the application. Apparently they currently prefer slightly older pilots with a lot of turboprop hours.
We highly appreciate your experience but after careful consideration we have decided to pursue other options for coming positions.
Still, best of luck to you!

a strange answer: "as soon there is a new vacancy for airbus"
Are they really trying to keep you in a pool during years? not really fair
If you want a job, you want it in weeks, not in years...

anyway going down there on the 14th, we'll see what happens...

They haven't even decided yet:
Air Baltic considering 737NGs, A320s for fleet renewal | ATW Online

Even if they do decide on 320s I reckon you could be waiting for ages.

I flew a Citation 550.

So they have not decide what aircraft going to operate and are they doing a selection of pilots for Airbus 320?,
It is a bit rare all this history.

I dunno about that mate, if you look at this link airBalticPeople
It doesn't mention anything about 320s there, just Capts/FO on Q400 and pilots in general i.e no minimum requirements just fATPL...unless you were contacted by an agency or something regarding 320 recruitment.

The mail comes from the recruitment department, not an agency.
