I have the impression that less guys take the aer lingus selection compared to the easyjet one.

Erm.....
Where are you getting your numbers from?! 5000 applications?! So the equivalent of a third of all professional pilots in the UK have applied to Aer Lingus?...

Hi!
I can't remember which was the question about Hp and Kw conversion...
Time is running up... The 11 o july is near...
p.s. I also think that 5000 applications are too many...

A large number of FlyBE pilots have also applied.
It depends on what they are after though? A good number of Captains from FlyBE have applied and done the tests, as have a LOT of F/Os.
If you look at the criteria on the website:
Essential criteria
Although, that's assuming that they don't just wield the axe on the aptitude test results alone - ala easyJet with the DEP scheme.
An interesting argument (put forward by a psychologist!) goes that after the age of 25, your score in these tests decreases. And certainly after years of flying, I really struggled with those. I'll be for the chop methinks.

If you look at the criteria on the website:

If the number of applications is that high, and it really is 5000 applications, I can't help but feel that the diserable criteria will be taken into account.• A current ME/IR.

I've just finished their On-line assessment.
12 crashes in the tunel,
Less than 10 answers on Verbal Reasoning ... ( I don't know number of right ones )
Other parts was easy ( I think , or I hope ..)
Next stage - phone interview ?
.. if available for me
