Interpersonnal is in the business for running selections. They would not exist otherwise. No need to say more.

A question that arises is: why are they calling so many people, if there's no such demand ?
Organizing all these processes request the work to many employees, including the snaks available :-) .
So are they working for free ?
What's the point of doing that if airlines don't care about it ?

altough not false, its Eurowings that has to pay Interpersonal for every selection run.
the fact that EW keeps running these selections is that they are planning on hiring everybody passing the selection. Sure, things can change fast, but for now I can speak for at least Germanwings. We are very very under-crowded and need at least 60 more FOs. The training department just cant educate faster at the moment.
With this info: i think (nut sure) that the same applies to the bigger Eurowings.
To add: the one thing changed for people passing the selections, is the German Requirement (From none, to B1, to B2, and back to B1 I believe)

Hey,
I’ve been on waiting list since February. We have emails each time there is any improvement on the list. Basically, as said above, they are actively hiring for Germanwings, but with a B1 Level in German.
For non-German speakers as myself, the list is quite long, because we can only work for Eurowings Europe, which means only few bases available. For German speakers, it appears to be very quick. We even had an offer with cash bonus if able to pass B1 level certificate and then work for Germanwings.

Anyone out there in the type rating course starting on the 1st of July in CGN? Looking for some suggestions for a place to stay/share there

All the best!

Ahh guys, you could just imagine how this whole slow issue with recruiting is shaping my and my family's life. Waiting for TR from November after successful passing of CQ, and answers from EW are still the same - "Unfortunately we are not able to make a firm statement .... If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask."

I do confirm the B1 requirement for German bases only.

Wish all of us fast progress.

Hi guys,
anyone there for sim on July 8th?
What can we expect on sim? I heard there are no malfunctions, only sid, star, some work like steep turns, ils and holding, is it true?

[Pinuz89]

I would like to recommend FTO Nord, it's a small training facility where they have the same identical sim used in the assessment.
They are great, especially for preparing for interpersonal assessments.

Personally I didn't buy it, and I passed. I have just revised some math and mental arithmetic through the web, and some memory games.
But this is very subjective, it could have worked for me and not for many others.
I bought skytest for the DLR, it's a nice software, very useful, but DLR is very different and much harder !
Of course you'll have better chances if you have the will to buy it, and also if it's not a problem to spend 80€, but in my opinion the BQ is doable even without it.

I bought skytest around four days prior to the BQ and it helped me. I knew what I could expect, that meant a lot for me altough skytest is harder than the actual test. I was told I had some results way above average so I guess it is good.

[J.K.93]

Hi everyone,
there is plenty of information about Skytest vs BQ, ATPL Theory, SIM etc... but no info about the English test concerned the BQ.

Please, could anyone possibly help? Is the English part of the BQ based on the grammar in terms of terrible things such as exceptions, conditionals, articles etc.., or what is it mainly based on? How deep (I know it is individual and subjective) should the preparation for this let´s name it the English part of the BQ be? Or is it mainly in terms of ICAO/VFR/IFR English?

Thank you very much.
Have a nice time!

How many questions is there on a particular subject? Math, ATPL, 3d, qube, english words ...
I know it will take all day. Is there an interview at the end? How do you know weather did you pass or not?

Math, if I remember 15 questions in 25 min, ATPL 60 questins in 45 min, and English put its focus on verb conjugation, synonyms, and "idioms".
The first two parts were pretty easy, if you know the basic of english, the last one is quite tricky, because it's similar to learn the "slang", in other words ways to say something using completely different sentence.

Eg. What am I saying with this sentence : "A dime a dozen" ? if you are not a native speaker, probably it's quite hard to translate.

[rp001]

Is there allowed to have paper and pencil to write when doing the calculations?

[GomuGomuPilot]

Hey guys, So I read the threat from they change to Interpersonal test style, From the look of it English seems hard and the ATPL for me since it's been while since I've done ATPL. Wondering where you guys were practicing or everyone just use skytest prep.
I got an appointment with them on 21/08/2019 about 10min ago so still waiting on their conformation email. I think I have plenty of time to prepare. I also read people who passed have long time to start the type rating so wonder if there is any improvement on that.
Thanks,

Is there any information on how long the current wait is for german speakers? When I had my interview with eurowings it sounded a lot like they didnt differentiate between german and non-german speakers.
They way I undestood it, they only have one "list" which you are put on. Whenever someone needs new FOs they just take the ones from the top of the list.
I may have interpreted that wrong tho.

[thebdct]

May I ask you which kind of math questions they ask? Are you allowed to use calculator or is it mental math?

Thanks!

[cavok_flyer]

Mental math, no paper. Some easy addition and subtraction, but also squaring and square roots, too. Check one of my previous posts for a link to a mental math practice web page.

i tried to reply to your PM, but you cant accept any.

One year ago, you had the opportunity to be put on a waiting list for all bases, or for 1 base in particular. You need to speak at least conversational German to receive a start date. I believe you need to pay for the German course but im not 100% sure about that.

PM was full for some reason.
Anyway, the german wouldn't be a problem for me, as I am german. Do you by any chance have a rough figure of how long the wait is for german speakers?
