I wouldn’t get too excited about that sort of thing, can’t imagine AerLingus would advertise that they are running interviews in February then not do it.
If I was a betting man I’d say they probably have just found themselves with a change to their training programme and found some spare training capacity, which is very common at major airlines. Rather than waste capacity they have offered interviews to candidates that can fulfil a need slightly easier (perhaps rated or lots of jet time, that’s sort of thing).
Just me speculating, but I wouldn’t lose heart. Keep preparing yourself, practicing what you think will help with selection, and when that magic call comes you’ll be ready! Dag

I see CAE/Parc and a few others are still advertising for Type Rated guys so maybe there's a constant flow of guys jumping through the hoops.
I'd certainly like to know though because for example somebody mentioned the end of February for assessments and absolutely no way I can make that due work commitments.
I'd love to throw my name in the hat and would hate to think I missed out on the chance long term because I couldn't make the interview etc.
Probably similar to a lot of you guys. Would appreciate any updates as you might get them.
Cheers and good luck to everyone!!!

There have been a very limited number of DEP interviews in the past 2 wks to fill a few spaces that were left over from the 2018 process. There are A320 Contractor interviews taking place this/nxt week. There are 5 or 6 full wks of interviews arranged from late February to early April. They are still reviewing thousands of video interviews and tests. Give it two weeks or so and they'll be in touch.

I´ve just been to the assessment as a contractor this week. We were 8 guys and only 1 guy made it to the sim....
The day after only 2 out of 8 made it to the sim. No feed back what so ever as Aer Lingus make the agency call you.
Not impressed to be honest.

Seems like Wizz air assessments. From 14 candidates a friend told me, only 3-4 went to sim and 1-2 passed.

They're still grading thousands of videos and assessments. Invites will start to go out in the next 10 days I believe. They have a big demand for pilots, the roadshow will be to sweep any pilots that didn't apply the last time in to the next process. There'll be a lot of new applicants I'd expect with Norwegian and Germania leading the charge!!

If you applied as an individual rather than through a crew supplier, I think you would have been contacted by AL.
Best wishes in achieving a position of your choice.
