There must be a better way for doing these tests.

I suggest that you study the concept of CRM & how team work / personality are critical to a successful operation. You need to pass the ‘beer test’. If you were say a doctor, it helps enormously to have a good bedside manner. Nothing worse than a dower style.

The other aspects to the psychometric testing in the process are the interview & group exercise. Sitting all day next to someone who cannot hold a conversation is soul destroying.
“Flying” aka stick and rudder skills are just one element of the ingredients necessary in operating an airliner.

Are you suggesting that i’m not capable of successfully becoming an Airline Pilot because I didn’t pass this and others did?

Passing or not passing a particular initial selection process is no absolute definitive guide as to anyone’s ability to operate. I know a number of successful Captains whose ‘style’ didn’t suit particular operators when interviewed. HR can be quite fickle at times.
If someone has the burning ambition to fly, then you are more than half way there.
It is your colleagues who decide if you pass the ‘beer test’ , not me, should you ever make the right hand seat.

Interesting anyway, was expecting a typical Ireland 00353 or 0044. Hopefully was just a random call centre scam

Assessment Centre
 
Overwhelmed to have made it through to the assessment day on my second attempt at this programme!

Please could anyone shed any light on what to expect? This is my first time at an interview with an airline. Does anyone recommend getting myself on an Airline preparation course before the interview?

Congrats to all that made it through also, and best of luck to those who didn’t. Failing at the online tests is not the end of your journey to become a pilot, keep the determination, and never give up. There is always next year! (The exact mindset I took away from last years attempt).

Best regards.

Still waiting
 
Is anyone else still waiting to hear back ?

Flyinghigh54674 26th Aug 2019 12:40

Yes still waiting here. I wonder if it’s done by time of applying as I submitted my application on the day the applications closed

Yup still waiting... the process usually takes a week so hopefully we’ll all know one way or another by Wednesday

LONFlyer 26th Aug 2019 18:09

I applied & submitted early so think it’s more of a lucky dip really!

QueenBee017 28th Aug 2019 10:03

Still waiting to hear, not had an email or a call yet and definitely not missed anything after scouring junk/spam folders.

This wait is so hard!

shamrock301 28th Aug 2019 11:04

Still waiting patiently as well.
