Hi All. Another 30 year old here! Currently a construction site manager. Ex RAF aircraft maintenance mechanic (Hopefully this will work in my favour) Applied last week so keeping everything crossed to get an invitation to complete the online assesments/interviews.

Good luck to everyone!

Status updated in Air Lingus career website

Hello,

If I log in into my Air Lingus careers account I can see the status of my application updated to: “Invite to pre selection online test”. No confirmation e-mail received yet.

Anyone else's application status change to "Invite to Pre Selection Online Test" on the careers page? Would expect the emails to follow soon!

My site just says Application Received. Does that infer rejection? Or has it not been looked at yet?

I’m the same! Absolutely gutted if that means they’ve already finalised their selection for assessments. However I did see on the 2018 forum there was someone who got the invite mail
However as per the portal it remained as “application received”. Fingers crossed that’s the case! Best of luck to everyone whose status has been updated.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet. Keep the faith. Mine is also still at application received, though I submitted towards the end of the application window, so I am telling myself they are just going through the applications in order received..... Hopefully that's the case anyway, haha.

Is anyone else over 30? I’m 38 so am feeling like I might be the oldest. I think I have enough experience though. I was cabin crew for 6 years and then an air traffic controller for 10 years. Hopefully that’ll count for something. Good luck everyone.

You are not the oldest.
Age should not make a difference if they run the selection process in a professional way however I guess that there is a mark where it doesn't make practical or economic sense to start a new career, and EU discrimination laws do not make easy to clearly state this in a job offer.

Hi - I'm a few years older than you so hopefully age is just a number!

Hi guys, I’m so happy! I’ve gotten the pre selection invite status update on the careers portal however no mail yet. I’ve a feeling the mail will go out on Thursday and give people Friday - Sunday to complete similar to other years. Also just so people are aware they appear to be updating each person manually as my buddy had his status update last night and mine was only updated now. Also on last year’s forum I saw someone whose status never changed but yet he got the mail with the invite to complete the assessments so don’t lose hope and make sure you are preparing regardless. Best of luck everyone!! ✈️

My careers page says invite to pre selection tests but I can’t find any link to the tests! Will they be emailed? Have I missed something?

Also, are the pre selection tests the pilot aptitude and maths tests or is that something different?

They can’t discriminate based on sex. They just encourage more females to apply. I wouldn’t worry. You could always say you identify as female!

Yes I am 31. It seems there are a few who have commented so far in the 30-40 bracket.

I too have received the status change on my application. As mentioned above, it will more than likely be this weekend to complete the onli
ne assesments. Good luck to everyone!

I'm also over 30, 36 to be exact. Still plenty of piloting life left in all of us!

Good luck for the online assessments, everyone! Is it definitely the cut-e assessments they use as I had read earlier?

Hey guys, just wanted to weigh in real quick as I went through the process last year. Assuming the format is still the same, and I see no reason for it not to be, it would be good to practice the Cut-e assessment system. Latestpilotjobs has a good module for this, if a bit pricey for some plans. That being said, if it saves you the cost of flight school or helps grant you job security, I would definitely say it's worth it.

I would expect the assessment emails to be sent out no later than Friday, after which you'll have about 3 days to get everything, including video interviews, submitted. After that there's a bit of waiting to find out if you've progressed or not.

Best of luck to everyone applying!
