anyone else out there who hasn't received either an invite or a "no thank you" email but has received the TR question?

any calls/emails this week? I wonder if they're on holidays, don't know what to think at this stage

I am in this situation. However I sent a mail this week and got a reply that application were still being assessed.
Nothing more so far and there is nothing to expect before next week, IMO.

Please keep me posted if you have anything, will do the same.

Cheers!

Hi everybody,

Same here, yes TR/noTR letter and, no PFO letter and no calls.

TR/NTR mail received on 11/12, missed call on 21/12 :ugh:, I called back on 28/12 and interview on 29/01. Dates available on late January/early February.

They are still calling, good luck guys.

Morning people,

Daft question but is the number they call from Ireland? I receive calls from random countries sometimes but not Ireland, had Germany, France and Guinea recently and I don't pick them up as usually some PPI or scam phone call.

Thanks

Phone call was from Dublin Ireland. Good luck!

Yes, call is from Ireland

Hi Guys
got the TR mail too. Is it just a call and an invitation or is some kind of telephone interview?

btw, fresh from school, 330 total...

Good luck to everyone!

How can the Aer Lingus recruitment team send out an email asking if you are type rated or not. Surely they are able to retrieve this information on ones application form?

interview
 

just to share my two pence.

did the assessment in October time, absolutely messed the video interview, to the extend that I didn't even answer the last question.

has an email 11 December, asking me if I was type rated or not to which I replied, then had a phone call on 14 December, inviting me for interview in January.

hope to see more of you there.

my info TR zero hours on type, graduated three years ago TT 330

Hey guys I wanted to ask: have you received the interview invite via email yet? On the phone the lady told me she would send more info, but havent received anything since... call was on 21st of december.

Thanks!

I got my email the same day. Maybe heck your junk mail I case it’s gone there. But I’m sure you’ve already done that. Failing that call them up again.

Finally got the call this week, assessment on January 29th.
All the best to you guys!

Hi Ashamax,

Are you TR? And if yes, how many hours do you have?.
I did not receive any call yet, after the TR mail. I'm not R and 1000 tt. Thank you

Hi,

Freshly graduated, 260 hours tt, not tr. This is my second life I used to be an engineer for 10 years.
Since I haven't heard about anyone that got the TR mail and a PFO, I wouldn't be worried.
Keep the faith!

Thanks for the info :ok:

I Ashamax, same profile as you (second life with 260 hours).
I had a call friday but i missed it ! i will try to call back the lady tomorrow ! anyone got details regarding the sim session for the assesment ?

jjjair, It said on the email that it could be the following day or later date. Either way I will book the hotel for two nights. Now looking at places around Dublin airport and its super expensive...it is what it is I guess.

I believe there won't be anything out of the ordinary in the sim, like most they will be looking at basic flying skills and CRM(Non rated). I have booked a couple of sessions to refresh, I'd suggest the same :ok:

A very nice lady, call me this morning, interview 31st of January :D Not TR.
More interviews expected in February.
Good luck to everyone.

Had the call today but no email yet. The nice lady over the phone informed me that even if successful it's a one day assessment and a second day at a later date apparently. Can anyone confirm this?

Just need to know for booking flights 😁

Finally got the call a couple of days ago :O No TR, 600 TT, 350 hrs on atr..
Anyone have an idea of how many are invited to the assessment out of the 3000+ applicants?

Has anyone any idea about the actual interview in dublin?
And how manyapplicants have actually been invited? Odds look very unfavourable, with thousands over 100 seats.

Hi, just got the invitation to the assessment. Have you any idea what tests (CBT etc.) we will face at this assessment? There is not so many useful information on the web... :hmm:

Hi everyone,
Am I the only one who didn't receive any phone call ? I got the TR/NTR email in December, no PFO and fresh out of training.
Do you know if they are still calling candidates ?

I missed the call on monday. The nice lady of AL called me again today for the assessment at 6th of February. She said, that it will be the last possible date. Don't know if other dates are still open...

Any feedback from the interviews yesterday?

I'm in the exact same boat, at this stage I kind of think they might be hanging on to us as spare wheels in case they don't get the right number of people from their interviews

Vetting to complete
 

Hey guys,
congrats to all who got the call
I have the vetting to complete and the first case is
AIC Person Number: to complete with 6 characters
Next to it it's written, New applicant - this number us emailed to you when your access permitapplication (ID1 online) has been processed by AIC
Any idea?

GustavFB

At the bottom of the page it says that the e-vetting website invitation link will be sent via email, so I am not sure.

I was going to complete the form and leave that part in blank. Perhaps it warrants a request for clarification via email.

See what they say! :ok:

I call them about the AIC number.
They told me not to fill it

I got the same email in December, just got a call today! (Actually the tried to call me last Friday on my old phone number so I couldn’t answer it, but after an email I got the call)!
8th of February for me, the girl told me there were 3 dates available (7-8-9 of February)

Sigma Aviation just advertised for contract pilots with immediate start. What’s going on?

Well thinking about it, they won't be able to get everyone they need for the summer season online in time due to training capacity.
It makes sense that they would hire a few contractors to fill the gap. We are not talking about a company with training departments as large as British Airways for example, so this is a slow process.
They said 100 slots, so I'm expecting those who can get online with less training(Type rated) to go in first, with some cadets waiting in the hold-pool until end of August/September. With assessments going until mid February, add another two months for referencing/background checks before starting the courses, we are talking about April/May, that's quite late already.
This is simply an educated guess, I have no evidence of this.

E-Mail invitation
 

Hello, got the call last week and still no confirmation mail for the assessment. I fixed the date for feb 6th.

Anybody an idea of how long it approximately takes to receive the mail after the call?

Hi everyone, did anyone get the sim directly after the interview (day after) or do they tend, in practice, to call you at a later date for it ?

limamikeecho

Hi. I got mine just about 6 days later.

Any interview feedback?

I would also be interested in some feedback on the competency based interview, whether the questions are more of a technical nature (ATPL theory) or typical HR questions like what are your weaknesses/strengths, hardest decision in your life etc...

You can check on page 7 of this thread, there is some feedback of last year's assessment.

Hi,
Did you get any news since then ?
