Stage 2 started at around 9am if I remember correctly and went through until about 4pm (ish). Lunch is provided.
I think there is quite a lot of info about the various stages of selection on another thread but feel free to PM me if you have any other questions!:D |
easy cadet,
BA are considering 2 cadets who were originally in the BA hold pool before joining CTC. It was the cadets who approached BA about getting a job, not CTC having a new contract with BA. Whats in my pants you say? Well, obviously not as much testosterone as in yours. As for having all the facts before you post, may be you should have them all - cadets were warned a long time ago about posting on this forum. You obviously weren't aware and hence the recent further warning from RW. I dont have a brother! Where did you get that from? :p |
Hello There
I heard someone knows how to get hold of practice versions of the pilapt tests???:} Where ....how, who from?? I am not from CTC but i would love to be in New Zealand... i have got stage 2 comming up soon!! Please help if you can :ok: |
CTC Stage 2 info / help req'd Stage 3
Hi all,
After recently passing stage 2 I really need some help with any interview questions/subjects anyone can remember from stage 3. I am a strong believer in what goes around comes around so PLEASE HELP, anyone that attended... I can confirm stage 2 will consist of a 15 question in 15 mins maths test which shouldn't be difficult but tricky in the time - simple addition/subtraction/multiplication and division - SO BE PREPARED AND STUDY BEFORE. Group discussion - around 8 people, 3 subject to choose from, 5 mins to write points down on each before deciding as a group which subject to discuss. Subjects include: Where you would build a new airport in the Uk, Should euthanasia be legal, whether aids is to blame for the diminishing population in the third world or our ignorance ?? (not sure about this one) and if smoking should be banned in public places. Be vocal but not over-powering and REMEMBER to come to a decision at the end !! PILAPT - Holding moving horizontal/vertical lines in the centre of the screen - Joystick only, no pedals. Shapes appearing on a matrix which will have the shapes around the border of the matrix - you have to click on the shape as it matches the one on the border - mouse operated. Flying through squares in the screen ...and the last one is the most interesting with keeping the lines in the centre again but multitasking with listening to a reducing counter and identifying when the series changes whilst listening for a shape you have to look for at the left hand side of the screen... Hope this makes sense... good luck and TRY and relax !! You can't really prepare for this but might help with nerves if you know a bit of what to expect !! |
ATPL study
Does anyone know if the CTC people take a dim view of people who have started studying for their ATPL's? I have the notes for Bristol GS module 1 and I saw somewhere on PPRUNE that CTC do not like this as you are not "ab-initio". I'm not ab-initio anyway as I have 105 hours. Anyone else going to the 11 Jan assessment day? Feel free to PM me!
Regards, M |
Brasher,
Don't believe everything you read on here, it's not all gospel! There are a few people who had completed their ATPL groundschool prior to starting with CTC. However, I will try to confirm this and PM you. Rgds A. C-W :ok: |
Hello All!
on a lighter note, has anyone seen a programme on the BBC on monday nights about people flying Lancaster bombers. To my greta surprise the Guy Tim who is captaining the bomber was on CTC stage 2 on the 30th November and in the red group with me. If you are tim, please feel free to PM me. What an amazing thing to have done! I would like to hear of your experiences and hopefully shre info about CTC. Did you get to stage three?? Thanks |
Know for a fact that having passed the atpl's doesn't restrict you from joining this course, though you might not want to have too many hours along with it, i'm guessing ctc prefer you to be trained their way if at all possible on the wings scheme.
But there have been guys with a few hundred hours which have made it onto the course and by now have finished and are flying with the airlines, so no problems there. It all comes down to the selection i guess, and how you put yourself across. WBV |
Hi,
Nice thread. Just a couple of questions. I have my stage 3 coming up soon and was just wondering what group exercises I could expect? Also, any difficult questions people were asked during the interview. Cheers |
Age limit
Hi,
I read in this forum some questions about the differing age limits of CTC and the likes of Easy Jet etc. I couldn't see any responses so would be grateful if someone could clarify what airlines recruit from the scheme for candidates aged 27-30 at date of application? Many thanks in advance. |
When I spoke to CTC about 2 months ago it seemed that none of the CTC partner airlines were planning to take people from the older age group you mentioned.
This may have changed by now so it might be worth sending an email to ask. Regards, esvdx |
I take it this is a quiet time of year for CTC? Judging by the posts on this forum...

...Was busy at CTC on Monday. Most hadn't heard of PPRuNE though.

Hey guys,
A quick question I'm hoping someone can enlighten me with an answer to. Well as I'm nearing the end of my degree i'm finally applying to ctc, and have a question about the references section on the application form. Now they want 2 references you have known for 5 years that arent friends or family, and preferable business or academic. Well I dont have any academic references stretching 5 years. GCSE's in 2000 A'levels in 2002 Uni 2002 - present I'm sure that there a loads of people in this situation. Did you just put next door neigbours? Thats all I can come up with at the moment. Cheers Jamo |
The references are, as I understand it, for security reasons rather than character references. So I suppose they are quite lenient e.g. GPs, dentists, etc. would be some options.
I'm not at the stage of applying for sponsorships yet but would have to have a real think about people I've known for 5 years what with, like you say, moving about with uni/work. Maybe someone has more info...? V1R |
I personally used a school friend's mum as one of my referees. Anyone going to interview/stage 3 next week?
|
so how's everyone finding selection at the mo then, what's the proportion of people getting through to the later stages? just curious, as i'm wondering how ctc are still getting a steady flow of people through to nz, isn't the supply going to slowly dry up if they keep the standards the same?

You have missed the point completely. CTC will never lower the standard of the individuals they select, even if numbers are low that get through. Doing so would go aginst everything CTC stands for. Rgds |
26th feb anyone?
Anyone heading along to the 26th of feb phase 3 day?
also, does anyone know at what stage one actually becomes bonded (basically at what moment do you have to sign your life away to HSBC)? One more question. does anyone know what proportion of successful entrants get sponsored by someone like ez? cheers, stupendousman. |
