They wrote thay the assessment is taking place at Dublin Airport.
Anyways, for now I cannot afford staying in a 4 star hotel, that's why I am asking about some hostels near the Airport
Does anyone know whether the assessment always start at 9 AM or is every person assigned to an individual time of the day? I still didn't get any response from them so I think I must call them on Monday to get to know all the details.
skyblue737 are you staying in Dublin for any longer or going back home already on 23rd??

If you crunch the numbers, lets say 20 per session and they want to assess 960(That's the number I heard they want), Two sessions per day and only two days during the week they assess adds up to be between 10-12 weeks of them, this week will be the 5th week so if the numbers add up plenty of hope.

I have an assessment on Wednesday and they haven't provided me with the details of the meeting yet although I got a confirmation thay they had received my e-mail. I am a bit worried... Called them today but the lady I was speaking to said she isn't the person responsible for this and her colleague who is, is not available at the moment. I will call them tomorrow and hopefully get the details.
Can someone who has already taken part in the assessment share the info about where the assessments is taking place and confirm if it starts at 9 AM?

Hi guys,
My assessment centre has been rescheduled to Tuesday 30th July at 9:00 AM. I am flying from London Luton on Monday 29th July and have booked myself into the Radisson Blu Hotel. Has anybody else got their assessment centre next Tuesday? Would anyone like to meet for a drink on Monday night? It would be nice to get to know a few people before the day itself.
Secondly, I have just received the email about what the assessment day entails. Just to clarify, I am not about to ask anyone to spill the beans about the day itself, but I am wondering what people's thoughts are with regards to what the competency based interview will entail (I am aiming this question at those who are in the same position as me and who haven't been to an assessment yet)? It will obviously contain direct competency questions and most likely questions about Aer Lingus as a company, but I am unsure how much technical knowledge will be required at this stage (I vaguely recall a mention of a further panel interview). I am going to try and cover all bases in my preparation, but preparation time is limited and I am just interested to see how everyone else is preparing.
Good luck everyone and fingers crossed for those still waiting

Hi, i was wondering if at the assesment, for people who had flying experience, were you asked questions about flying that were of a technical nature, i.e questions that could have been on say the ppl exams

I too was lucky enough to receive an e-mail last night. For Comparisons sake I'm 30, surname starting with Y and only very low hours experience in a 172.
Does anyone in the know have an idea of what the day entails? I'm presuming CTC style. Am i correct? What would an expected dress code be? My job in the real world is based offshore in hot climates and as such i don't own a suit!
I'm presuming (again) that there will need to be further interviews if i was to be successful in this stage. Does anyone have an idea of when they would be?
Finally in the infinitesimal chance i get that far what is the expected start date of training? the website just says late 2013 which could be anything from September onwards.
Best of luck to all who are going through the process, does at least make life a little interesting for a few months.

HI guys,
Last word I got from them was to do the online assesments at start of june, which I did. Then a few days later I got a call from someone in HR to confirm my ppl flying hours. He told me to watch my email over the next few days/weeks and that was the last I heard... Just wondering if I should give them a call?? Is it possible they have me on a shorter list because of my flying (private) experience or have they forgotten about me???
Anyone else in this boat?

Hi
For the ones that have already been there and those who have already received the email with the data, what do we have to bring to the interview?
Thanks

Flying hours
Good evening all,
Just wondering does anyone know why they are calling some people and asking about their flying hours? Surely this won't determine if someone gets called to assessment centre or not?
I have no hours under my belt but was invited to the. Assessment centre. I just don't understand why those guys are being asked regarding hours.
In terms of all you guys waiting bout there-the assessment centres are running every week up until the end of August. With approx 50 guys attending each day (over four sittings) there are still a lot of guy to be called so don't panic. There's. sonewhere in the region of 700-900 through to this stage.
all the best to everyone, waiting is the killer. It's waiting from here on in.

daveandg,
Thank you! Just one thing, what do you mean by signed photos?
If by tomorrow I haven't received the email with more information, I will give them a call because they haven't sent me that email with the data and the assessment is this Tuesday (already booked the flight).

I filled in the section on the application about flying qualifications and didn't say how many hours I had.they just called to ask.
I guess no news is good news and sitting tight is all e can do at the moment.
Thanks.

Guys I don't know why they're calling to ask how many flying hours do you have. A friend of mine was called as well for his flying time and then he was invited to the assessment centre. We have the same licences (PPL and ATPL Theory) but he was called for his flying hours and I'm not. Another example is that he was called by phone and I was invited by email. So I don't know what's the criteria they are calling about... But don't worry!
