I am also a low timer. 231 hrs. And i don't know what to expect at the sim session.

Sait 10th Dec 2013 12:05

Mollymawk is similar to the test runs.
you need 60% in basic aptitude which include english, science and math

25 points in spatial orientation, time sharing and working memories.

I am also a cadet 200 hours.

Fanor 10th Dec 2013 14:03

Thanks for that sait. Appreciate it.

I'm guessing you aptitude test scores are broken into points seeing that they are done in percentiles.

Hey guys any news?
already dates for interview?
I had my session on monday, but until now no response

Fanor 17th Dec 2013 14:42

Hey. It went alright (in my opinion ofc). How was your sim session?

No dates for interview yet, they said that they will contact whether we have been successful or not about the interviews.

Any rumors about when the interviews could be? Seeing that I am traveling back to London tomorrow and don't want to come back a day later. No one at Freebird knows anything. Annoying.

Sait 17th Dec 2013 15:43

could be better but all in all not so bad.
how many guys were you ?
On monday were 6 applicants

Fanor 17th Dec 2013 15:51

Today they were 4 of us. Supposed to be 6 I believe. Do you know if there are any more sim sessions going on?

Sait 17th Dec 2013 16:11

unfortunately no :(

Fanor 17th Dec 2013 16:20

Will you be staying in Istanbul till you hear from them or going back to germany?

Sait 17th Dec 2013 17:00

I am leaving on thursday, it doesnt make sense to stay longer.
in case of an invitation i will come again for only 2-3 days.
and you?

Fanor 17th Dec 2013 17:03

Fair enough. Yeh I'm doing that same thing. Returning back tomorrow

Freebird
 
Hi guys,

Did freebird already contacted you for the interview or what so ever? And do you guys know if you have passed the sim assesment?

Sait 19th Dec 2013 07:12

nope... nothing

captain.weird 25th Dec 2013 13:20

I think you all have some news now right :D ?

Just a few questions:
- is the TR SS or will the company bond you for a few years and is it paid for you?
- what kind of contract will you get? Permanent or Seasonal?

Thanks guys and have a lot of fun on the A320!

I have participated their assessment last month. I'd like to answer your questions.

First you go through simulator test. It's within IFTC(Istanbul Flight Training Center), then they ask you to do visual approach, one engine out climb, raw data ils approach to LTAI.
Then you have to go through 11 pilot aptitude tests. These were the hardest part. Approximately %60 of applicants were eliminated during those tests.
After those tests, there is role-play interview with a captain and then interview with a psychologist from Netherlands. Those were easy.
I was able to pass all of those, until the general interview. It was quite good for me. But since they require references from Turkish pilot, I was not be the one who got selected. That might be different for expat pilots. I would like to answer your questions if you have any.

You're very welcome! I am sure you'll find a better opportunity. What makes you wanna fly with them that much, if you don't mind me asking?
