No nothing, and probably we will not until December/January as stated on the email.

Someone i know got invited for the next round, end of november.

Hi guys!
I'm new, i got a call last week from aer lingus and they told me that the assessment day will be on the 29th of this month, anyone got the same call? If so, PM me ;)

Nothing yet. Background?

I'd be curious to know what things AL looks for. Anyone willing to elaborate?

Hi xCossie, can you tell us more about your interview? Any help would be very appreciated :p

Hi Eduz, did you get a call or email?

Hello everybody,

I just booked my flights to Dublin for the assessment on the 28.. Just found this thread by chance and created my account. Is anyone of you going to be in Dublin the weekend prior and would be interested in meeting up for some sightseeing, preparation or whatnot? Also as others above me have already requested, any information about the assessment is well appreciated and i would also be interested in chatting to a F/O working for Aer Lingus (if that applies to anyone here by chance).

Hi Anerg,

Good to know things are moving, when did you get your email for this assessment? Personnaly, nothing since the mail beginning of october ("passed the initial screen phase, review during coming months").

I got an email to call them on the 28. Oct. where they invited me.

Hi guys

I'm gonna be there next week for the assessment, someone have more info about the interview or the simulator??

Thanks!!

Hi Anerg, I currently live in Dublin, so if you want to meet on the weekend let me know mate!

I will also attend the assessment on the 28th, probably arriving on the 26th.
Would be nice to meet up with someone beforehand !

Hi guys.

I'm still waiting for an invitation after last mail on the 10'th of okt where i got mail for passing the initial screening phase.

Anyway, Good luck for the assessment on 28-29 nov.

Hey Spaflyer and Billyjack,

I tried to find some kind of privat messaging system in this forum but couldnt find anything. As i have nothing planed for the weekend im more then happy to meet with you. Is there a good way to go about sorting that stuff out, other then posting Skype or Email in here for everyone to see? Does adding somebody to contacts do anything that would help?

Hi aviador35,

I am also living near Málaga (Benalmadena) and invited the 29th of November. Want to get in contact?

any chance!??!

Assessment day in mid January
 

Hey guys, I just got a call for an invitation in mid January. Is there anyone else attending? Also every peace of info about the assessment day is highly appreciated :ok:

I am having the simulator assessment in about one week, does anyone have any information on that?

People who have been called, what experience do you have?

I'm also interested in this please

Have many been called for assessment in Jan? I am still waiting on the call but was wondering if you guys have heard of assessment dates/numbers selected etc

Theyve invited a mix of people, from ab initio to experienced A320 pilots. They've been assessing people since early october and are looking to hire about 65 people this winter.

Anyone got the call after the mail for Jan/Feb assessment??

@Fieldins: I received that mail and still nothing. I didn't know what they meant by this mail.

I wrote an email to ask news... we will see...

Did they send you an email Fieldins about an assessment in Jan??

not yet
 

not yet...!

Hi all,

I've just received a second mail asking me to complete 2 other questionnaires.

I just received an email with 2 more personality test to perform before Monday. Will see how it goes !

Did you guys complete the personality tests after the aptitude testing?? I have completed the personality assessment and have heard nothing since the "you have successfully passed the initial screening" email.

Me too, today i got 2 personality test! I didn't get after the first test...

Same here with two more questtionares.

Assessment
 

Hi guys a friend of mine applied on September and was offered the job.

He was type rated but zero hours on type and love w hours TT

I was invited to fill out the personality questionnaire like many of you on 9 Dec but since then nothing!

hey mankan I also got the 2 questionnaire but after no reply.. one week ago....

Hi,

I applied in August when the application process window opened and I just got the job this last week

I received the first set of 7 tests (multitasking, verbal reasoning etc... ) almost inmediately after the application window closed, just like anyone else. After two or three weeks I received the second set of tests and two weeks more after that I received the famous e-mail saying that I had passed but that I should not expect anything else until January.

Surprisingly, at the end of october, a lady called me and invited me to an assessment day to be celebrated in Dublin by the end of November. I went to the assessment day and spent all the day there. One week after they called again to offer me a spot for the sim test. One week after the sim test they called to tell me that I was being offered a first officer position.

Please do not ask me for details about the interviews or sim. We were told not to publish anything anywhere because they consider this process as a competition and it would not be fair if some people had details beforehand.

My guess is that due to the large number of candidates they may be splitting them in several groups and may take a veery long time to complete the selection for some candidates. Just a guess.

Be patient, do not desperate.

Shamrock Wings, firstly congratulations!

Secondly could you give any indications of what the contracts are like? For obvious reasons I understand if you wouldn't want to post specifics. But all the information I can find is over 5 years old, and the company has seen some changes in that time!

All the best!

Congratulations @ShamrockWings,

Just out of interest what is your experience level - are you type rated A320, multi hour commercial experienced etc?

There seems to be a good mix being called which is great.

Firstly, all I can say is that there is a contract (no Ltd company, self employed or anything like that) and that the TR is paid by the company (with a bond, obviously).

Condition wise I think that these two points are just enough to prefer this company among many many others.

Secondly, I have two uni degrees with experience in the aeronautical sector. Regarding pilot licenses, ratings and exp I'm just a guy straight out of the modular course with 350h total time. No previous TR, no time on type.

Received a call/email for an assessment next month.

I'm aware that previous candidates are being discrete about the assessment process - and I agree with their reasons.
However I would appreciate any general tips one could provide :)

Cheers.
