Aer Lingus
 

Hi All,

I have done a search on this, however, only very little came up. I was wondering whether anyone has any information on the Aer Lingus recruitment process?

Thanks in advance.

apparently if you sound like barry white you're in. although the last batch all had hair, or so i've been told.

Well thank you Avergage Bloke.

Looks like I have a chance, but not sure about the latter, unless I invest in some transplant hair surgery :).

I will see you soon senaca/B737 king :ok:.

Aer Lingus Interview
 

I have an interview with Aer Lingus in 10 days time, for a ist officer A320. Can anyone give me a heads up on what to expect? Does anyone know what aircraft they use for their sim rides? Any advice gratefully received!

I suspect it's on the 320 sim because they've got their own in Dublin. Sorry don't know anything about the interview.

Aer Lingus
 

Has anyone been for an interview/sim check with Aer Lingus lately? Any info would be hughly appreciate! Any tricky questions or sim situations?

Anybody?...........................

Hello All,

I have been invited to sit the sim check ride at Aer Lingus. I am already type rated. Has anyone (type rated), been on the sim check for Aer Lingus? Would appreciate a heads up just so that I can do some arm chair practice. Any information greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

don't worry about the sim check...type rating is all they want.

Hi there
If you have a TR, they will give you a sim check to the appropriate level, such as several departures off Rwy 28 in Dublin, at least one of which will have a V1 cut.You may also get an engine fire in flight or an electrical fault in flight.You will get ILSs to 28,some with full automation, some without.you will spend at least an hour in the sim.Persons without a TR but with line experience will get a good work out, including such delights as a non-automatic VOR approach to RWY 16 at EIDW and plenty of ILSs to 28.Handling exercise include steep turns, accels/decels, climbs and descents.Non-TR, non-line experienced will get an abbrieviated version of above.A comprehensive briefing will be given in advance.You will be told how you have done within a few days.If you get the offer,everything will happen fairly quickly thereafter.

It seems like my fellow Galwegian got a better offer with the big toys. Tell me mightycelt how did you tell the big 'P' that you weren't going with them. I'd loved to have been a fly on the wall for that one....

Aer Lingus Technical Questions
 

I have hust been invited to aer lingus Interview as F/o, I am typed on the A320, any 1 tell me about technical questions asked for rated pilots. any aptitude tests etc. any info would be great. Was told that many technical questions are asked but nobody knows what on. any help will be appreciated.:ugh:

I know Aer Lingus are taking oxford students, but is there any other school they have a preference for when selecting low hour, non type rated candidates. Or is there even a preference.
Coming towards the end of training and would love a chance with EI.
Cheers

just wondering how long people have been waiting after sim check to hearing back from aer lingus? I've been hearing from a cpl of days to a week?

Hello all
I got the PFO phonecall after the interview/aptitude tests.
Ta Bron orm.:(

TDD:sad:

What was your experience TDD?
What is the general experience of guys going in??? is the A320 pool dried up? I have a mate that starts soon and he waited about 7 working days for a reply "positive reply" and he was experienced on type and a dub, so he was in a good place, but i gather from this thread and other stories that there is representatives from Ezy/Arann/Ryan and elsewhere all in the running for these sopts, Its a much sort after position if your an irish lad no doubt.

How long do you normally have to wait to hear from them after you have done the interview. If unsuccessful do you normally get a letter or do they ring you in person?

Hi there
I met a lot of Oxfordites during the process and they are well regarded in EI.The influx from FR/RE/WX is happening but all shapes and sizes are being taken on(typed/non-typed,etc).The HR dept are not exactly consistent in telling you yes or no but generally within a few days.

TDD

call them, ask them or you will shop somewhere else!!!

all airlines are hiring...

Two Dead Dogs, sorry to hear that mate, always next time ah? :ok:

Did many of the oxford guys not make it?

dlav

hi there
latest I've heard is that they have taken on 96 pilots, either Oxford-ites, Jerezites or TR/NTR experienced guys.Whether that includes the ex-cadets, I dont know.The recruitment will close, so Im told, in about a fortnight.

TDD

They've taken low hours people from Aero Madrid also. Primarily because they've done their MCC on A-320.

They've also interviewed low hours modular from elsewhere to the schools already mentioned but not sure if any have been accepted

People from Aero Madrid??Spaniards or students from UK?

I´ve sent my CV 3 Weeks ago and no answer yet with A320 TR and 600TT.

I suppose all options are gone since you said that they are closing the recruitment in few days...:ugh:

Anyway regards everybody and good luck for those joining the interviews!:ok:

The selection process seems a little strange to me. I finished selection 2 weeks ago and have been waiting ever since. Found out today I'm on hold, whatever that means and that I should hear next week sometime. Quite a few people who finished selection after me have all gotten jobs so its a little confusing. I think all the interviews and tests went fine. All I can do now is wait! Fingers crossed.

anyone heard anything else recently?

no,sent my cv 2-3 weeks ago...nothing.not even a reply. and I am type rated on the 320.

Maybe they read your rantings on pprune and decided to give you a wide berth:)

Word has it that the quality of the "rated with just base check" types wasn't quite what has wanted. Seems this type of pilot has been badly discredited within the training department. Seems Ei's standards are rather higher than ryr's.
So says the grapevine.

I completed my sim check 3 weeks ago. Have not had any answer. I phoned and they said all training slots are filled for this year! Otherwise I take it that I am on hold. I mean if they didn't want me they would write or phone or even e-mail right? The communication on their part is a bit hard to get ones head around . . . I think they are still using telepathy but I'm not too good at that. I am an e-mail, telephone kind of guy who is just looking for a staight answer as to the outcome of my application.
