SunExpress FO Recruitment Process
 

Hello everyone, inexperienced CPL holder here.

SunExpress has contacted me and right now they want me to train for Mollymawk. I've heard that their process (Mollymawk->sim assessment->interview) is very difficult and they have a very low recruitment rate

Has anyone been called or hired yet? Any pilots here with SunExpress experience? I'd highly appreciate any info, details, or help regarding the recruitment process

Thanks!

Hi,

Good day. Sunexpress applicant who had the recruitment process stopped back in 2019 here.

Hows the prep with the new format of Mollymawk? How was your overall experience?

Hi. The official website gives you 20 trials for each 3 modules and also 2 trials for Maths&Sci, Aeronautics, English. There are some changes to the models btw.

It's not so difficult and practice kind of makes it perfect. I had a good score in all modules, it's certainly not difficult if you prepare beforehand. Currently I'm waiting for the final interview.

Hi SkyRider9
Thanks for the feedback.
Do you comfirm that you you took the Aeronautics and English test during the real exam? I'm asking because we are supposed to provide the compagny with TOEIC (or equivalent) scores and Aeronautics is flagged is supposed to be in beta on the training website.
Also, do you mind sharing your scores to have an idea of what to target during the training?
Thank you in advance

I did take those tests indeed. Aeronautics is like 3 questions and English is like 7-8 questions. I did provide the company with an IELTS score also but they still do it. For aeronautics you don't get a score, it's just written as "beta". You don't get exact scores but percentiles: I was in +85th percentile for all 3 game modules. In training tests I got scores like ~2300 on TS, 97-100% in SO, and ~100 in WM as far as I can remember

(By the way this is out of context but I have a problem with text messages. I suppose you can only have 1 message in your inbox, and again and again I get notified that I "don't have any space left in the mailbox". Any ideas?)

Impressive scores! well done!
Regarding the issue you are encountering, you unfortunately have some limitations (moderator validation, 1 message in PM ...) because you're quite new in the forum. I beleive that after posting 5 messages, these limitations are removed. I see that you currently have 3 messages postes, so u're almost there ;)

Ah I see, thank you so much! :)

Hi, does this mean you already went through almost the whole process? I have the sim assessment coming up for SXS in May/June, so I'd be interested to know how you prepared for it and what it's like overall. Also, did you do it in Antalya or Ankara?

Good luck with the interview!

Hi all,

newbie here, has the Mollymawk test changed drastically?
Thanks!

Yes indeed. For Mollymawk I tried to come up with my own methods for each module. Finding a "cheat code" helps out a ton. For the sim assessment, be fully prepared for the scenario and the aircraft. You'll most likely fly with a crosswind so beware. I don't think you'll be rejected for missing one or two non-essential call-outs but make a stable approach and landing. I did both Mollymawk and sim assessment in Antalya.

Thank you so much; best of luck!

Hi

Compared to a year ago, yes. There are some changes to 2 modules & spatial orientation has been changed completely. But don't worry bc you'll get enough trials to prepare.

Hi @ SkyRider9

Thanks for your reply. Would like to know if all the applicants you gave the mollymawk with passed or not? Previously the rejection rate in the mollymawk phase was quite high.

Also could you share some of the cheat codes you used for each of the games?

Thanks.

I don't know about the others. None of them were in the same phase as me either, they were cadet candidates who had to wait for an email to learn about the result: I learned mine right after I finished my tests.

Thank you for the info :) SkyRider9

Thanks a lot for the reply.

hey man, How did you apply? and when did you apply?

Thank you for the information. My sim screening is coming up next week in AYT and looking at the prep sheet they sent me I can't help but wonder how I can adequately prepare for this as I've never really flown a multi-pilot aircraft. How did you use the screening pilot who acted as PM/PNF? Did you learn the checklists beforehand or at least knew when to initiate them?

I don't think it is necessary to read and do the checklist if you're not type rated, usually it should be sufficient to just call for the checklist and than the assessor calls "completed".
Eventually a simulator assessment is more about your PF and PNF CRM (teamwork) skills than reading and do-ing the items from the checklist.

Good luck, if possible please share an update with us how it went!

That makes sense, thank you. I will write a report after my session, if I'll be allowed to of course. If I forget to do it, feel free to remind me.

Thanks, if you don’t mind, can you share when you applied for this position?
