Aer Lingus Cadet Pilot Program

[mackoi]

Do you even read the posts?

This is phase 3
There are 160 candidates in this round, however this number may be less if there are no shows.
2 groups of 8 per day for the duration of 10 days.

The wait for a yes/no is already killing me.

I know the feeling JumpSeat_M

I wonder when we will hear back??

I went to the assessment centre last week and have had one finger on the refresh button every since expecting an email!
A torturous wait!

Ps this is my first ever post, I hope I've done it correctly, apologies if not!

[PPRuNeUser0207]

I was in last Thursday and they told me sometime before the 10th

[7ate9]

The 10th is the day on which the next stage will be held, right? I would imagine they would let us know a good while before that considering people may need to arrange travel arrangements etc.

I got the impression that it's possible we won't hear anything if unsuccessful which would be a bummer.

I reckon we're looking at next week at the earliest before any invites go out.

Still another 3 days of assessment to go.

[reeko]

You're right assessments are still ongoing until Friday.

It's likely that responses will be going out mid next week or even later.....

[Officer Kite]

Was in today, let the dreaded wait begin

[mackoi]

By the way, no rejection mail although I was not invited to Dublin.

[PPRuNeUser0207]

If you're not assessed by Friday then you're probably not through

Mackoi check your spam folder

[mackoi]

I do it every day, nothing so far.

Mmmmmm, don't tell me that I had been invited and I deleted the mail accidentaly xxxDDDDDD, probably not ...

[wiblywoblywonder]

Mackoi, if you're not from Ireland or the UK, it's unlikely you were invited for phase 3.

[mackoi]

Yes, I guess. Just joking.

[Officer Kite]

The one thing I do hope happens for the unsuccessful ones among us is that we're made aware of it asap. I couldn't bare being left on tenterhooks, I do find it ironic however that when selecting pilots communication skills are a top competency, yet the ones doing the selecting appear to lack in it

Get used to that. Unless you are useful and can be looked upon as a source of income then you will most likely be ignored.

Remember bean counters and HR people are the experts.

[PPRuNeUser0207]

Because the numbers going through this time will be low they should be fairly prompt in sending out notice to successful/unsuccessful candidates.

[7ate9]

Although they did say that they could very well recommend all 160 of us. There was no certain amount of applicants going through to the next stage if I remember correctly?

[Officer Kite]

Just sit tight people

With regards HR, I'm sure if actual pilots were selecting cadets different people would get through. I don't think HR value passion and general desire to be a pilot as much as they claim to but none of us are gonna change anything so we have to play the HR game
