This could be the last batch or they could still be ongoing.

Anyone from 19th interview group still waiting to hear back? Those that have been called to psych interview, Did they set any expectation dates wise to hear back about progressing to the next round?

Rejection email
Just received a rejection email today. For those still waiting on replies, there are 18 more positions to fill for January/February intake from people who have not had psychometric tests. The programme will re-open next may also.

Hard luck Eviation. I too received a rejection email today. I would like to sincerely wish all of those who are still awaiting news the very best of luck with the rest of the process. Everyone I met on my assessment day genuinely deserved to be there and certainly deserve to progress further in this competition. Roll on the next programme intake :-)

FTE
Hi people,
I have a Whitetail assessment coming up at FTE Jerez, and I just wanted to find out whether or not the joystick controls were inverted during your assessment? Just so I can practise accurately.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if the assessment will be the exact same for FTE as Aer Lingus have been running their own assessments for a few years now, and even at that, the platform had a few new functions this year compared to previous ones, but anyway I assume you are referring to the tunnel test in which case it was a "virtual joystick" on screen that had to be moved with the mouse, and the controls were not inverted.
Hope it helps, and good luck with your assessment.

lmck95,
I have done the FTE assessment in May, and can confirm there was a physical joystick. The controls were inverted, just like you would handle a normal aircraft (pull is climb, push down is descend).

Great. Thanks both for your input.
NesherUY - If the joystick behaves like a real-life one, I assume its left to go left, and right to go right then?

I received a few private messages about my previous message. Could those that message me please empty their inboxes and I will be happy to reply. The information regarding 18 positions for Jan/Feb intake came directly from Aer Lingus recruitment team for the programme. The 12 successful applicants for November intake were posted on an aer lingus recruitment team LinkedIn. Each application must be vouched for personally by head of recruitment to the board of directors for sign off of training investment and as such it is a very slow process. Best of luck to those that still haven’t received emails after an interview (Good news!) and for all that have received rejection emails, best of luck with applications when the programme opens early summer 2020 again!
