There is a Facebook group that's been up and running since the 2018 assesments called AerLingus Future Pilot Programme Applicants if anyone wants to join that as an alternative to a whatsapp group.

I have my booking confirmation for an assesment centre on the 2nd of October but still waiting for the follow up email like others here before I get flights and hotel sorted. I am intending to be in Dublin from the 1st if anyone else attending assesments fancies meeting up for a drink to ease the nerves.

Also sorry to hear about your assesment date being cancelled geryshayk. Hope they can get you rebooked - has anyone else had an email like this?

I work in Dubai for Emirates and have just received my October Roster and I’m struggling to make this align with my schedule. If anyone is interested WhatsApp me on +971589985081.

Hi Chloe Louise, Did you try to change the date by contacting Nobox also in the assessment confirmation email there is a link to cancel/reschedule.

That’s another good point, this is a seriously competitive process. It’s not fair to anyone to be asking them after their assessments what they’ve done. Anyone that has gone through it will not want to be giving anyone else an edge by being able to prepare more for it, so don’t ask what was involved.

Question for people through to assessment stage

Hey guys,

Congrats to those who got through to the assessments. I didnt make it through myself but I'm interested to know if any older applicants in their 30s or 40s got through if you don't mind sharing this and also what age you are?

I feel my age may have worked against me. I'm keen to know as i might persue my PPL for next years campaign to hopefully help with my application then but if in general only younger applicants got through I dont want to go to this expense and get my hopes up again,

Cheers.

I think the smart decision may be to go ahead with getting started on my PPL and hope for the best.

I'm 35, PPL completed about a year ago, started ATPL exams. The PPL experience gave a good theoretical base for further studies and only confirmed my desire to become a pilot. Keep it up!

I'm going to do modular. If I get any of these cadetships then great, but I'm in no way waiting for them and neither should you

Equally I know someone else who was well established in their career who got it a few years back. So I wouldn’t over think it.

Obviously the older you are the more you’d want show that you’ve achieved a lot in your current role so maybe make sure your cv is tailored towards that.

This is an interview, for what is, presumably, your dream job. Dress accordingly.
