Aer Lingus application status
I have sent an email to the Aer Lingus recruitment team asking what was the status of my application. Has I've applied in the first days of may I was surprised by the length of their silence.
Here is the answer:
"Many thanks for your email. Please keep an eye on your emails as you will be updated via email in regard to the status of your application."
I live in France so they will probably send me an email instead of calling me. Or perhaps they will send me an email to tell me that I haven't been selected...
Is there some applicant from none English speaking countries that have been called by AL?

That's right guys. Keep your hopes up because nothing's over until the fat lady sings. And she's not anywhere near the building.

I had the same response about a rescheduled date. Currently working out my notice so couldn't go this week. Hopefully I'll be asked back next week.....

Hi guys,
The guys that have been invited to the next stage of the process, how did you get on with the verbal reasoning? I did well in all the other sections but only managed around 16 answers in that section. Hoping that's not going to be a stumbling point...
Thanks in advance for responses.

I honestly thought i did pretty average in the VR. Considering i crashed many times in the tunnel, i also can't understand why i was put through (not complaining though 
).
But then again, i guess we all have different 'standards' we set ourselves. And i mean that in the least patronising manor possible!

Aer Lingus Call
Good morning all,
I didn't receive any call till now, but I have a friend of mine (we are friend in the real life and we got ATPL exams together) who was called last week asking him about his flying experience and flying hours, if single engine, PIC or dual. We are from Venice, Italy so I confirm that foreign applicants will receive a call as well. I hope to receive a call this week as well, in the other case I will continue my ATPL course. I hope my post will be helpful.

I just posted this message over at boards.ie and thought I'd share it you guys just to clarify some things, apologies for the copy and paste job:
"I fly with another well known Irish carrier and was discussing the Lingus cadet program with some colleagues who have contacts within HR there.
Just to confirm and to put your minds at rest they are taking 960 through to assessment stage, so the woman at your assessment didn't read any memo wrong.
Good luck chaps
*Also regarding it appearing like they're using excess resources, just to put it into perspective, my son applied for a banking graduate scheme and the numbers of applicants going to assessment stage to actual job places was pretty much the same as with this cadetship. Unfortunately that's a sign of the times and employers can be extremely picky over who they take. "

So irishoperator are you saying that calls are not ended and other calls will follow this week? Just for information, a friend of mine (the same that I said before in the previous post) was called from them but till now he received no mails. I hope well that the screening phase is not ended anymore.

Negative.
Like you I have simply not heard anything, at all. I'm not really sure what to think but have pretty much given up hope - it has been over four weeks now and I seem to remember the application saying something along the lines of expect to hear something within that time and if not assume unsuccessful.
I know that they are very busy and may still have people to call but I don't really see the point in worrying about it now.

Marandinho, How come you say that everyone should have found out today. The lady that rang me yesterday stated they are running assessment dates all the way into August?

Marandhino, I received the call yesterday as well, though, it does seem to be a bit short notice. I actually haven't completed my A-Levels yet, and just applied on the offchance that GCSEs would be enough. When I was emailed the assessments, I emailed HR (with new knowledge that A-Levels are the equiv. of Leaving Cert.) and explained the situation. No response, so continued the selection. Sent a few more emails since then and have heard nothing back. What does everyone on here think of this. Do you reckon I have any hope, or will it be a waste of money going over for the assessment?

thanks,
9PM!? That's absurd, surely they can't do that. My flight leaves at 8PM on Wednesday to get back home. I haven't had another email. It may be worth contacting them to find out (call them, not email). So far, I received one email that started with 'sorry about the mistake, ignore the previous email because it's wrong'. I still haven't received the incorrect email, so, maybe that's what yours is.
Are you flying over? what day?

Good idea. See you there 
Are you British or otherwise? Not that it matters in any way, I just get the impression that it's mostly Irish people going (again, doesn't matter).
Good luck getting it all sorted.

Hi I applied for this cadet scheme two days before it closed and had lost hope in getting a call, But I did get called on Friday. Told be at Dublin 9 am for stage 3. So I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of how to get to the hotel from Dublin airport? Is there a bus service, or shuttle service, how is the situation with getting a cab around 8am in the morning?
Thanks in advance
