[WANBLI]

Great! Congratulations!
Heard the good news as well today

Has anyone already attended the 2nd stage(interview)?
And if so: What kind of questions can we expect? Non-technical I suppose?

To everyone still in the race..good luck! and also to those who aren't anymore ofcourse..

Thanks in advance!

[CY333]

Latest update says that anyone can apply even the guys who are on the short list for the Q.
We know it will be :

Basic ATPL Questions

Psychometrics

Interview

Sim

As last time.

Be aware the Q hiring has not stopped so for all of us who are on the list patience.



I hear 8-15 pilots but if they all going to be TR on A320 or not is unknown.

The same have been said for Aegean and some people got in without TR.

[CY333]

No it will not, if it was I would automatically be on the A320 list as I got through.

I expect a more difficult test.

[Rwy in Sight]

I am surprised they are still hiring. No fleet or network expansion and yet more crews are coming in. Do they plan to expand or their staff turnover it is that high?

[CY333]

They lost a big number of FO from the Q and they had to hire foreigners leading to high expenses, so they decided to take local and drop the costs

[CY333]

I cant advice you what to do my friend.
Are you located in Cyprus?

[flyingfox320]

Hi guys!

any feedback from the Olimpic Air? Since the date for aplication was till 16.1. did anyone get any reply or something alike?

[SVoa]

Its Olympic Air and not Olimpic Air.. No news on the bus recruitment, rumor has it that it will not move forward. Recruitment on turbo-prop fleet continues.

[flyingfox320]

Hi,

@SVoa

thanks for checking my spelling and answer

grds

[SVoa]

Rumors floating around that OA will be getting rid of all the airbus a/c until october. Im not too sure how true this is, however it is whats being heard right now. If this is true, i doubt any hiring for these a/c will take place.

[costas1979]

one step forwards, two steps backwards...

[SVoa]

Exactly... It seems the investment company behind Olympic aren't willing to put even one more euro in the company... And its a shame, some very professional people working in the company, and in general a very nice product for the Greek market. Lets hope for the best

[Kristoff]

That's really going to limit the number of applicants, oh well, better start those language classes.

[RWY37]

Anyone been to a assessment for Olympic lately? Got a sim assessment in Stockholm next week for the Q400. Would be nice to know a little bit what to expect regarding questions, tests etc. How are the salarys for a FO in Olympic? Roster?
Im rated on the Dash 100/300, 1000 hours total time.

[appfo09]

So you are rated on the Dash and have 1000 flying hours. I was wondering all this time 1 year why I didn't receive an answer from them, although I'm native Greek. Have around 400 Hours no type rating on the Dash.

As far as I remember they used to do the sim assessment in Athens on PC Simulator MD-81 apparently.

Good Luck anyway!
