Hmmm.... (B737Dude)
 

Apart from being a complete id**t, it seems from previous posts of yours that you are infact recently qualified. So why would you be applying for a cadet programme??!! You, my friend, will go far in life.. Good luck with it all.
Av.... :ok:

because he realized his license doesn't worth more the toilet paper I have in my W.C!
this is true, suddenly all airlines will start a cadet training as long you have the 100'000 euro to give them.It seems it's the only way to maintain their airline in this bloody bath.

Pilots like us, with a few hundred or thousand of hours, don't know where to go now. There are so many pilots all looking for a first job.



this industry has become a joke, I am sick of it!:yuk: I just regret to have start flying training with my own money years ago.

The interview will quite likely be a two or three onto one affair with a senior pilot, cabin crew and HR.

Numbers are right-composition wrong! Likely to be 1 pilot & 1 HR in first interview, 2 pilots and 1 HR in the second interview. Impressing cabin crew reserved for overnights :)!!

Rest of it is about right!

Has anyone recieved any replies yet from Lingus with regards the results of the assessments?

nothing yet :( completed my assessement on the 13th of August ...

No reply yet, but don't panic! :ugh:

Hi folks,

Firstly, good luck to one and all. I'm old enough to have been eligible for the last Aer Lingus sponsorship scheme back in '99 I believe - that's 1999 btw :) and I can remember it vividly - fear, excitement, inexplicable disappointment.

Would be really interested to hear if anyone over the big 30 was called for the online assessment?

Thanks,
Previous-Wannabe Shamrocker!

PS: previous post regarding assessment is in line with my experience. Initial test based screening is to meet a pre-defined standard.

Hi Shamrocker,

I will be 32 in September, cant believe im actually saying that lol but I was accepted for the online assessment.....:D

Has anybody recieved an invitation for the second stage yet? (the waiting is such a pain:ugh:)

Nope im still waiting. I would imagine we will find out by the end of this week..

@ shamrocker
 

@ Shamrocker
I'm 34 and got to take the online test..

older makes you wiser ;)

@RSTurbo50
@Conor77

Great news - thanks for the info - all the best and hopefully ye'll get a call sometime soon.

@ Shamrocker
 

@ Shamrocker - I am 40 :{ and was invited to the online assessment.

I don't know if they screened the applications prior to issuing invites, I have a bit of experience in aviation, which may have swung it for me - I am a trained ATCO.

still no reply from Aer Lingus, I think we will wait till next week.

have a nice weekend everyone! ;)

Thought that we would have heard something by now! The wait continues...

Hi all, first post:). When i was completing the online assessments I was unable to complete the verbal reasoning part due to a ''technical difficultly'' (thats what the page displayed anyway) and it has been blocked ever since. However I completed all the other parts and have since emailed aer lingus 3 times about what happened and had no response. Just off the phone with the HR department 5 minutes ago and they said, they have had a huge amount of applicants and a huge amount of queries, they are working their way through each of these, so it may be a while before we find out.
Good luck to everyone who has applied

Im watching a thread on another forum, similar to this one, and it appears one of the posters got word today that they were successful and are invited to stage 3... And he has a CPL already.

Yeah, also read in the other forum that it look like they started to send the invitation for stage 3...let's wait still a bit! :ok::ugh:
