Aer Lingus Recruitment - Direct Entry First Officer

TeaTowel, are you receiving?

Applied
 

This is good news. I got the application in straight away first thing this morning. A320 type rated with zero on type and 1000tt, heres hoping. :)

Online Assessment are just sent now (at least i received mine now)

I have received mine now!
Any information appreciated!

I would like to help you, but until tomorrow i won't register (you have 3 days to complete and i am a bit busy now).
Probably when you register, before doing the test, you will have both instructions and examples as the AerLingus Cadet one.

I've received online assesments.. Do you know something about it? :)

Anyone got the tests who is not A320 TR?

Here i am.. TT 290 hrs ATPL frozen :)

Desirable criteria

• Applicants who hold a current A320 type-rating or have multi-crew commercial experience.

Full and accurate reference information will be sought as part of the selection process

Please note that if the volume of candidates meeting all essential criteria is high, Aer Lingus will then takedesirable criteria into account. This means that even if you meet all essential criteria, you may not be invited to interview.

I got the online assessment , not rated 275 TT

When did you guys apply out of interest? Probably too early to get concerned as I only sent off my application last night but I'm a little worried; nothing heard yet!!

Great to see things open up again. I've done the tests for the current cadet scheme, a mouse was needed.

Just got the invite for the tests for this one, applied 2 days ago. fATPL 160 hrs.

G'luck all!

G-GOLF how can you have a "fatpl" with 160 hours? When CPL licence issue requires 200.

If I remember correctly it is reduced to 150 hrs when taking an approved course, I'm not sure if that strictly applies to integrated training.

200 hours, you sure.

Hi everyone!

On the application there was a question if I have a valid JAA or EASA ATPL or not. I answered no, because I have a frozen ATPL. (CPL ME/IR with ATPL Theory and MCC, 209 TT)

Did I mess up my application? :confused:

Thanks
Ben

Got the test right now! Few hours total time but rated. I'm worried about the MapTq test...

Just done the online test. A320 rated, Zero hours.

Did the online test yesterday. fATPL, 220 hours

I did it yesterday. fATPL 570 hours TT.

Does anyone have an answer yet?. :ugh:

Anybody who didn't get the online assessment, but applied last week. I got it as well, 159hrs TT.

run of time on one, does it matter?

do you have any advice for better perfomance on the Maptq test?

me applied...no feedback yet.

in case i get an "invitation" for the online test, i would like to know what it is about...atpl theory? or psychometric tests? or mix of both.

Some psycho tests... and general questions about you...

FATPL, 400 TT, did the online test today and received an email saying that i will be asked to complete the online pre-selection exercises. Does anyone have any information regarding the preparation of these tests?

@ Syntax Error : I've completed the psycho this morning and received an email this evening about the pre-selection exercise. It is also mentioned that an appropriate score is required to pass the test.

I did the test this evening. I also receive the second email regarding pre selection exercises. I received it before I started the tests though?

The pre-selection test is the online test you guys just did.

I guess it's a double email but the wording and description is different saying I will be contacted again to complete them. I managed around half of the verbal reasoning.

Hi guys!

What kind of questions can I expect? Math? Memory? ATPL?

Any examples? Will appreciate any info :)

Quite weird, I've done the online test and I didn't get the 30 ATPL questions! Are you sure?

Anyway I messed up on the verbal and spatial reasoning! I've found these parts pretty hard!

Good luck

Can anyone else confirm this? I have not heard of anyone else encountering ATPL questions.

I haven't found any of those ATPL questions TBH...

Tests
 

Good morning folks,

2 days ago I received an invitation to do the pre-selection tests online, which I did yesterday. In the first email I got from Aer Lingus HR there was a remark about doing it in three days. Personally, I really don´t like such tests, especially putting right pieces in right places in that 3D game or the last exercise which was the tunnel flying. I wasn´t nearly able to fly through any of those obstacles :-)

After having finished it, several hours later, I got another email from them inviting me for pre-selection tests. I know it has been mentioned here dozen times, but I reckon that the second email was written in a slightly different manner than the first one.

Also there was no remark that needs to be finished in 3 days.

Nonetheless I wish you the best of luck, hopefully some of you are lucky and get through.

Best regards from Prague.

The second email from HR:

As part of your application to Aer Lingus for the role of First Officer, you will be asked to complete a number of online pre-selection exercises.

An invitation to complete the exercises will be sent to you by email from our test partner within the next few days. We strongly advise you to monitor your e-mail account for this invitation.
Please follow the instructions carefully and complete the exercises as soon as you receive them.

The skills tested in these exercises are essential to ensure the satisfactory performance of the job. You must obtain an appropriate score on each exercise to be eligible to progress to the next stage of the recruitment process. We regret that if you do not pass this stage for any reason you will not be considered for the next stage of the recruitment process.

If you have any questions about these tests, have any special requirements, or do not receive an invitation to take this test from our test partner over the next 3 days, please e-mail us at [email protected].

Yours Sincerely

The Aer Lingus Recruitment Team

Exactely the same for me

I personally found time to be the issue with most exercises.
The flying in the tunnel was not as bad as I thought considering 2 crashes in 3 minutes but the 3d cubes and the text questions needed more time.

I've found this mail too. Just wait :)

I got it as well. Good luck lads :)
