yeah I actually got both emails; one indeed saying it'd be 4 weeks, the other one saying "We will be in contact shortly after you have completed the assessments".

Besides the email that got sent after I'd done the assessments already (faulty or not?) I haven't heard anything yet but I've got everything crossed :)

Does anyone know how many ppl they're looking for??

eaglesnest1972 21st Jun 2013 09:13

Yes,

exactly the same for me...
well, a bit of confusion of the Island:E

Lets seat and wait:ok:

Numbers
 
EI will launch SFO and YYZ next year so current crew will move to 330 if they wish leaving a decent number of spots FO 320 TR to backfill which cadets won't be ready for, DUB base but easy to commute to most UK and even EUR cities
SNN will also be base for the three leased B757 and again some existing crew may transfer plus SH fleet is growing , cannot say what number is but it's all positive news and growth in these times is welcome

Very exciting news indeed Hangar6. It's good to see that at last there's some light at the end of the tunnel...

PA34 21st Jun 2013 10:44

thanks Hangar6! :)

Any more inside info about the following stages of the selection?

Cheers!

Hi guys,

got the invitation to the online assessment yesterday.

Does anybody know if you have to do all the tests (numeracy, orientation, verbal reasoning, etc) in a ''single shot'' or if you can actually log out and come back later to complete the assessment?

Thanks for your help, ;)

PS 300 h TT , frozen atpl

Jpiper 21st Jun 2013 13:07

You can log back out and do the rest later. Once you start a test though, you need to finish it.

I'd recommend using a external mouse for the hand eye coordination though.

Aleboni 21st Jun 2013 13:08

All with just a unique login :( i did those 2 days ago :bored:

Mac72 21st Jun 2013 19:58

Further education vs General Education
 
Hi guys,

Anyone can help me figure out what they mean by:
- Further Education
- General Education

I am French and we do not have the same educational features here.

I have universities (MBA) degree, and before that I gor a French baccalauréat (equivalent of your A-levels).

Do I need to consider that university degrees are "Further Education" and everything till A-levels (included) is "General Education" or is it the contrary ?

Many thanks or your help...

jc2065 22nd Jun 2013 09:10

That's correct. Gen ed = Bac

Further. = university

kingdingeling 22nd Jun 2013 10:55

Are the tests all in English, or available in multiple languages?

Verbal reasoning would be easier in my own language. :hmm:

eaglesnest1972 22nd Jun 2013 11:05

I completed the tests 5 days ago but since then no news...
Whats next?

flyer696 22nd Jun 2013 12:55

Yes, they are in different languages but I can't promise that you will find your native language in the dropdown list.

fanfan 23rd Jun 2013 17:16

Tests done!:cool: Waiting for feed-back...

Time needed for test
 
Hi Guys,


Good to see some recruitment again in these dark times.

I just got the email, my question was how long it will take to finish the test?

Good luck to you all.

900hours total. 600heavy tprop. non rated

magicmick 24th Jun 2013 13:41

binnader – yes I attached a cover letter as well as a copy of my CV.

harry – seaside – the tests take about 1.5 to 2 hrs total, depends how many practices you have at each individual test.

I’m a low hrs non rated scrote and I got an email last week inviting me to complete the online assessment tests which I did at the weekend but I’m not holding my breath. The job ad stated that preference would be given to rated people and there’s plenty of them looking for work at the moment.

I only managed to complete about 2/3 of the verbal reasoning assessment questions before I ran out of time.

I had a fairly good practice at the final assessment to get a good feel for it before doing the assessed version, however I think that I did better in the non assessed practices than the assessed version, typical really and I’d invested £3 in a mouse for my laptop!!!!!

If the final result is based upon an overall mark for all the tests then maybe some of the others marks could raise my overall result to an acceptable level but if it’s based on individual pass marks for each test then I’m screwed (not the first time, won’t be the last).

As lukelongthorne mentioned before it’s a case of waiting up to 4 weeks from the closing date (11th July) to hear the results but as I mentioned earlier I’m not holding my breath.

smok84 25th Jun 2013 14:06

I received an invitation aswell for the online assessment.
Unfortunately I have no type rating and no airliner experience.

Some people said that the test would be available in more languages.
Does anyone know if dutch is one of the languages?

And ofcourse good luck to everyone!!
