Hello guys,
My question is simple and it might look a little bit strange... What can I expect on a CQ? Is it an interview? Psico tests? CRM questions?
I'm not asking for any specific info, just what is a CQ?
I've been searching on the internet and I didn't find any clear answer.
Thanks!

The term CQ stands for Corporate Qualification. Expect a personal interview with HR people probably also a technical Pilot and/or training Captain of the company. Although I never went through it myself at this stage they want to evaluate whether you are a good fit within the company organizational and cultural structure.
The reason why a lot of people are still waiting for an invitation onto the next stage is that currently there is a waiting list.
Hope that helps and good luck!

I did the CQ for Anisec few weeks ago, it was a personal interview with 1 captain and 1 psy, then a group exercise by 3, and a final interview at te end of the day for a kind of debriefing and the last chance to ask something concerning the training process, etc...

So it would be something around 2800€/month net (income tax are deducted from your gross salary). If you are based in PMI, this is slightly different, but they will get new contracts soon that will be very similar with VIE. And there will be retroactivity, which means that even if you start with the old contracts, when the new one will be in force, you will get the difference.
Now, I have to say, Eurowings Europe is a good place to fly!
Cheers!

I can remember from an article about Eurowings last year that a Mobility package is available for those who are not residents in Vienna. This is a benefit from the new collective labour agreement accepted at the end of last year. Have you got any information about this?
Oh meanwhile I found the article:

After the "Bankrupt" of Germany airline , I think is very difficult for new pilots to enter in Eurowings, even though they passed the selection process.I guess the market of pilots in Germany will be saturated for at least the next two years.

BQ
A few words about my experience:
I attended the BQ in Hamburg a few weeks ago.
I took my time and prepared using different types of tools prior to the assessment. Also the information provided over here was useful for me.
However after taking the tests I was told that I actually failed a number of sections and I can reapply after 24 months.
The approximate pass rate that day was 25%.
I have over 6000 hours flying experience including 3500 wide body jet. Actively flying for a well known carrier.
Well seems like I am not suitable to be a pilot after all
Good luck to everyone who is about to take the exams.

Hello everyone;
I received an email from Eurowings Europe stating that they selected my profile but up to now all the "assessment" dates are full.. also said they'll call me in the future, to be patient and wait.
That was a month or so ago... anyone got a similar reponse from them?

) and bought the SkyTest module. SkyTest makes me feel so useless and dumb, I've pretty much given up on it. Downloaded the samples from the assessment web page and now feel better about my abilities/chances

Ok, so I did the assessment today. Here are a few tips:
1. Basically no parking at Interpersonal. I stayed at Motel One which is a 10 minute walk to the assessment. Ask the hotel if you can leave your bags there so you can travel light.
2. DO NOT SHOW UP EARLY. I was there about 30 minutes early and there is no need. They open the doors about 10 minutes before the start time so have a bigger breakfast or sleep longer.
3. No need to bring food (unless your're a vegan) or water. Lots and lots of prepared snacks (ie. smoke salmon, soup, brie on a bun, chocolate bars, coffee, juice, water, etc).
4. Do not use Skytest for Interpersonal/EW . Waste of money and time. I bought it and regret forking out 80€ for it. The samples they provide in the acceptance email are enough. Over half of the tests in Skytest are not applicable to this selection process.
Everything is well organized and calm. They explain all the tests at least twice (Powerpoint presentation and again in the test). No surprises and you can ask questions. No real surprises in the test. Be comfortable with ATPL OPs, Air Law, and Performance, and a bit of Aerodynamics. Even if you have a copy of the question banks that are a few years old, no panic, they're fine. All the question are "basic" APTL and no stupid questions like how many lights in a CAT II approach and what is the spacing. Concentrate on operational type questions and don't worry about "dumb" EASA gotcha crap ie. how many crash axes in an a/c with 600+ seats.
Stay calm and you'll pass. About 50% of us passed today.

Well done for your assessment Cavok_Flyer. However, I am sorry to disagree with you, but Skytest for Interpersonal was very useful for me. I don’t think I would have passed the assessment without it. The graphics are different for sure, but the type of tests were very similar and at least I knew what to expect. Good luck for the next step, mine is in three weeks’ time.
