Tui answer
 

Oh damn. When did you send your application ? So that everyone knows what response time that they need to wait.

So you didn't got a feedback ?

Can't remember the exact date but I think it was last Thursday and no detailed feedback.

Has anyone else applied ?

Did some of you got answer from tui ? I know they started sending emails for the selection.
And for info we have a facebook group so for questions feel free to join :)

That's interesting to hear actually. Their open house day is on the 6th of May so one would assume they would wait with sending out invitations until everybody has got the chance to be properly informed about the program.

Hello,

Do you have any idea how these 3 years are splitted ?

I mean how much time for ground school, line training etc

Got rejection email from the HR, saying "your profile looks promising but unfortunately we can't continue with your application."

Did anyone receive any feedback as well ?

I was wondering what exactly they are looking for as i have 4 years experience in Aircraft Engineering , holding an Engineering degree and also has basic knowledge in dutch and french.

I got the rejection email last night stating ,

"Your candidature shows a number of valuable skills and is certainly interesting for our company. At this moment, however, we will not continue with your application since you were not our final choice to fill this particular job vacancy"

25 hours PPL ,2 years Aeronautical Engineering study BEng, worked in an aviation environment (ramp) .Good Dutch and French speaking ability.Airport security trained. Brit.

I suspect priority will be given to Belgium/Dutch/French nationals and those with no experience at all in flying.

The journey continues ...into solo hour building .

Good luck to those who have applied.

Suspect you are right, wonder why they open it to anyone if that is their desire. Maybe it's not as simple as that, suppose they don't know what kind of response they will get.

They changed the language requirements as well I believe. Now they ask for fluent Dutch besides the usual English requirement.

Hello !

Just received the rejection email as well :

I'm 24, French national, 20h of flight, Software engineer, French mother tongue, very good knowledge of Engligh, very basic knowledge of Dutch.

I wonder what kind of profile they look for.

Cheers

Belgians..

Yes indeed. They are looking for Belgians. I applied a month ago out of curiosity. They didn't send me an email but they called me yesterday and left a voicemail saying they got a few questions for me. Now I'm calling back and they are not picking up but I'll wait I guess.

My profile is basic, I'm 20 years old going to highschool studying System Engineering (IT). No experience at all even tho I did the CAE Oxford selection tests.

I have applied for it like 2 weeks ago but still no answer... could someone tell me if it's normal or not ??

@clementijn,

What do they test you on? Is it your typical Compass test?

Seeing a lot of questions about the selection so thought I'd give my 2 cents.

I'm a 25 year old software developer (bachelors degree in compsci) from antwerp with a passion for aviation. Got my ppl about a year ago and have about 100 hours on record. Fluent in English and dutch but only basic skills in French (apparently not an issue).

Applied at tui because why not about 3 weeks ago and am being rushed through selection. Or so it feels at least.

Over the course of those weeks I've done:

- phone interview to ask about motivation and test English skills
- online IQ and personality test
- compass test
- onsite interview with 2 people from hr asking about motivation (again), what I'd do in certain situations and conflicts, how I handle stress, how I work in team, test my French,... Normal interviewing stuff basically.

Got the call past Friday that they like me and want to invite me for the final test coming Thursday. Apparently I'll be having a talk with some senior pilots and managers at tui about stuff (really not sure what to expect).

Should that go well then I'm in.

So age doesn't seem to be that important but it does seem like they prioritise Belgian nationals.

Also a bigger emphasis on dutch and English than French.

And you need a really good score on those IQ tests.

It was as you said but I talked with just two people, a pilot/instructor and an hr person, not three.

Other than that the conversation went as you described. Quite a bit of overlap with my initial interview too (why tui, why mpl, tell us about yourself,... More basic interviewing stuff) but also a couple of questions that surprised me.

For instance the pilot guy asked whether I thought the program was safe and if the candidates would have the same qualifications as someone who did it the old fashioned way or someone who has a cpl and 3000 hours to his name.

All in all it went well (I think), I should know if I'm accepted or not somewhere next week.

Got the same mail so don't count yourself out just yet. Initially they told me to expect a phonecall somewhere this week and to call them if I hadn't heard anything by this Friday.

But now I don't know if I should... They're cutting it really close if they want to start in September though.

I passed the pilot jury the 11th July,I called them today to get some news but they told me that they are still thinking about my candidature and I will get some news for max 15/08.

If someone who passed the jury get news?

Got a phonecall today and its a no for me. They said I was a suitable candidate and had passed all their tests.

But I didn't make the top 12 apparently.

Bummer
