TUI MPL Cadet Programme Jan 2024
So just taken a proper look at requirements and I’m sure I’m not the only one disappointed. Now if you have a PPL and 100+ hours, NR, or attempted any ATPLs you’re disqualified. Interesting. I get the logic as they want as little experience as possible. But can’t shake the feeling that this indirectly discriminates against folk who simply cannot afford integrated and have decided to do it the modular way, and slowly trudge their way through training while juggling work. Or family as well.
Why do I say that? I don’t know many people who plan to go integrated but still spend money on a PPL/100hrs/NR and ATPLs attempts. Do you? So they’re either going to get older(30+) people who have always wanted to be pilots but never attempted to. Or those with PPLs but <100 hours. Or those waiting to finish school then go intergrated.
good luck to all of them. I guess us poor people will just continue the hard route. Thanks TUI

Got above average for numerical reasoning, average on verbal and logical despite them being considerably easier at the time. I got rejected straight away on email, looks like they are requiring above average for all three for a pass?

Anyone applying with an EU passport but not have a 10 year one? As a Portuguese citizen, we cannot get passports valid for longer than 5 years, so I guess that rules me out?

I got 2x Above Average and 1x Average and instantly received a rejection email after finishing the last test... I recall seeing people get through to the video interviews last year with 1x below average... So seems they must have made it tougher this year. Absolutely heart broken. Goodluck to those who make it through

Application shows ‘Closed’
Has anyone gone into their profile to review their application? Mine is showing ‘Closed’ and when I click on it there are no contents…
Have not received any email confirmation of application etc like last year?

I'd call them tomorrow to ask. I only hold a Spanish passport (despite having lived in the UK all my life) and I'm going to apply nonetheless. The Portuguese passport is quite strong globally.

Did you take the practise tests on the website? Were the actual tests the same sort of questions ?

I also got Above average numerical, above average verbal and average logical. Instant rejection email upon completion not even the video interview. I’m quite shocked really with my results I thought I did quite well. Here’s hoping the email was sent out automatically in error lol.

You’ll have five days (starting from the day after you receive this email) to complete all three tests, although we recommend you sit them as soon as possible to give you the best possible chance to progress.
I applied around 2:30.. the moment I pressed submit it sent me straight through to the SOVA candidate portal with the email coming after. When you complete the About You section the three additional tiles come up for the verbal / logical / numerical

How Disappointing. They look like good scores too. Can I ask, Are you saying they were considerably easier this year than last year?

Yes, I saw this. Absolutely gutted. I am half way through a MATHS GCSE resit as a full time professional with a huge amount of experience and knowledge to bring to the table. And now TUI have moved the goalposts

Salary
Anyone else disappointed with the advertised salary? Suppose it sounds ok, maybe even great, if you're young or straight out of school, but for those of us in an established career making say £60k+ it's a bitter pill to swallow. Thinking in six years (course plus the length of time of that salary) I could do modular and end up much better off in that time financially
