Hi mas618!
It sounds that you should get a proper salary if you are based in VIE/PMI during training. Otherwise, i.e. for German bases, you would get only training allowance rather than a salary of 1500 EUR.

Thx! Really depends on what an "employment contract" cover? Is that the same as a paycheck? I'm going to sim assessment on the 7th of December, so I'll ask them when I'm there..

CQ bound
Hello there guys,
I presume the CQ conducted by Eurowings is relatively straight forward which include an interview and group assessment. I was wondering if these two activities focus more on the candidate's personality, rather than their technical side which I assume was tested via the BQ and the Sim Assessment. Would be awesome if someone could assist in shedding a bit more light on this final stage, cheers!

Hello everybody.
First I would like to share my experience with IP selection for Eurowings.
I don't want to ruin my ongoing selection so I will not reveal anything too specific, but I'll do my best to release a part of the stress that you may have now
BQ :
You don't have to be an astronaut guy. Without revealing anything specific I can tell you it could be very helpful to practice on Skytest the following exercices at a "medium" level of difficulty :
- Pair of Scales
- Character Combinations Test
- Codes Memory Test
- Shapes Test
- Multitasking with Color Tanks (but has not been used in the last few weeks)
- Multitasking with Instruments
- PFD Tracking Test
- Stack Test
- Cube Folding Test
- Cube Comparison Test
- Number Blocks Test
- Mental Arithmetics
- Math Word Problems
But on my opinion : don't practice to much because skytest is not 100% like the BQ, so there is maybe a small risk that you will feel uncomfortable if you spend hundreds of hours on Skytest.
If you are below average in an area, it could be compsensate by higher score in another area (that was the case for me I am apparently a disabled personn with the perception test),BUT english and ATPL questions are not compensable. Below a certain mark you fail the whole BQ. Achtung Freunde !
SIM FNPT
You will have a small briefing and the examiner is very relaxed, does his best not to add stress to your stress at this moment. It is stressful ! I was on my nerves!
We had to perform a SID up to 5000ft, then after steepturns (45deg) then ask to enter into the hold (VOR/DME fix) caution : calculate/estimate wind correction : 3 times wind correction during outbound leg.
I think I was at 6 or 8 DME when asked to continue direct the VOR to hold, so approx 2 or 3 min to figure out what to do, so you have time. wind aloft was quite significant (20kts) so it must be taken into account !
The simulator is, well not exactly a real aircraft, if feels a bit funny on the controls but it is manageable. No emergency are to be carried out during this test.
Then you hold, one complete holding pattern, then standard ILS from the beacon, you fly the ILS, you land pull parking brake.
And : (important!) you are asked to self assess yourself (part of the notation).
After a small debriefing the examiner tells you immediatly if you pass or not.
My feeling : approach briefing and flying at the same time the procedure was what I found to be the most difficult part of the test, I almost forget to speak about the DA !
Then you have all you need to succeed, I wish you best of luck ! Oh yes : I know it is important : during my two days at IP : rate of success at BQ : around 70 or even 80 % (self gross estimation)
Rate of success SIM : 7 out of 8.
This is aptitude test : in a day if everyone is above the threshold the everyone pass.
Voila
Then may I ask you something : my CQ is coming not before february 19 : almost 2 month after the SIM : is it something some of you are experiencing as well ? I fear that they will have covered all their needs of young FO in 2 month, don't you think ?
Then for the CQ, well I am eager to read here any friendly info to help us better prepare for that day.
Good luck all with your selections !

Hello Anotherwanabee,
Thank you for your information on the SIM session. I will do the SIM on the Seneca in few days in HAM. I really imagine that this is very basic flying (turns, climbs, descents, ILS, holdings, G/A...) and it seems the examiner is relax so I'm not so worried.
Can you please just tell us what the SIM looks like: do you have to know procedures (i don't know the seneca) and all the configurations (RPM and mixture for example)? Have you had any experience on this A/C? You confirm the charts provided are Jeppesen and not LIDO as on the A320 SIM? Did you choose the airport where you operated?
Regarding the 2-month period before you can attend the CQ, don't be afraid, i passed the DLR in 2017, and 9 months after I was invited to continue the process with the SIM.. I just that they cannot hire 200 pilots in 2 months, rather it is diluted on several months/years, that's why they don't need you immediately.
Good luck !

Hello JulStaR13.
For the sim you have very precious information regarding procedures on career.aero, in your "download" section. There is the Sim pitch/power table and also a brief description of the mission.
For your questions :
You don't have to play with the mixture. It stays full rich at all time.
I had no experience on PA34, did my MEP on a DA42... But the sim is quite light on the controls, I don't think it is meant to be acting like real aircraft.
I confirm that the charts are Jeppesen, not LIDO.
You don't choose your airport, it is assigned for you by the examiner. We all (the group of 4) had the same airport the day of my simulator session. No GPS no Autopilot. And it is indeed friendly atmosphere and mainly basic instrument flying is required to pass. You are allowed to do mistakes if there is no "kiling item" amongst them.
Good luck !

Hello everyone!
Just to ask some info about the Corporate qualification (anything like if and how to prepare, overall experience, difficulty, suggestions ecc will be super appreciated).
Thank you in advance and all the best! ;-)

Hi
2 questions: 1) anybody has an idea how the roster is looking like?? 2) Does the Eurowings crew do night stops as well? It would be a good outfit for me except the driving to Germany is a bit long. So night stops would be more than welcome.
tx and have a nice x mass!
