I belive upgrades on hold? rumour?

boeing-man

I believe that's been confirmed by now. Plus new oz captains joining the contract line....you do the math.

The upgrades are going ahead, new joiners will take a ticket and join the line!
I believe there are lots of F/Os with the time and experience already in the company...its not going to be a quickie if thats what you are looking for.

frieghtdog

to NOFLARE so is there any other plane orders besides the 10 A/C for2007 ? or thats is it for etihad expantion plans.

and is it along process to upgrade at EY ( like the bull sh t QR process) ?

thanks.

Here might be some more news about some puddle jumpers, EY is interested in

noflare

If upgrades have been halted then nothing has been made public.
Capts are needed so why stop them?

Rumours of shorthaul a/c but nothing confirmed beyond this years deliveries.

The command process is thorough but guys get through it, its certainly not a give way...do the work and you will get through. I have heard some horror stories from the Bus fleet but with so much BS flying around who knows what is true!
I think new joiners (F/O) can expect a long wait for upgrade as the current list seems to have a lot of well qualified guys on it....HR may tell you something else but thats how I read it!

Anyway good luck to all, dont believe all the BS, its not that bad.

CaptainProp

I was told to expect 18 months, from date of joining, for upgrade. That was for interview and start date in the first 6 months this year.....Prob not likely to happen....but then again, I politely turned down the offer...

Good luck to all of you!

Just to put a lot of rumours to rest, the command upgrade is delayed not stopped. There are so many people complaining about EY but all i have seen are about 5 pilots resign in the last six months. I hear of so many people leaving but as i am in EY i have to say its all ....... Things could be better but i think its much better than most places around here. Anyway for now i am happy and enjoying flying here. The new pay scale too could have been better but tell me when we pilots will ever say its enough, i guess thats human nature. Anyway whatever comes is good.

Its a writen comprehension test, three parts. One was you read a paragraph then answer questions on it, the next is vocabulary with similar sounding words having different meanings and the last was a diagram of a hot air ballon and the names of different parts on one side and you put them in the blank spots. Its not too hard, though I do believe they use it as an excuse to cut people they dont think will fit in.

Thanks a lot Kaptain.

I do wanna know some inside infomation about the asssessment. same as rduarte, the English test. tech quiz, and sim!!
Is the interview held by EY, straight forward, or do they just keep diging and diging things out from you?

Thanks again

Hi. For all of you guys who are in the dark about the interview process let me tell you that the job itīs not easy you have to struggle to get it...about the english test if you read and write fluently (of course english is not your native language) there is nothing to worry because the test is very comprehensive, but if you are an illiterate that only speaks but doesnīt read or write, then youīll be in trouble. For the Tech Test (toughest) you must study the ICAO Annex 18, review capital cities of the world, TAF and METAR codes, and the most important thing, common sense because there are lots of questions that you donīt find in any book, and always read the question two or three times for being sure of the answer. Psycho Test... nothing to worry if you donīt have problems with yourself of course. Interview...itīs about you and your perspectives, experience, theyīll love to hear a couple of stories about CRM and how you handle them, ETOPS, RVSM, etc. Sim... if you fly Airbus try to practice full hand flown approaches, review SOPS for engine failures, itīs nothing more than the things you normally do every 6 months with your actual employer. Medical...same as everywhere, watch your weight, take a blood test before you come, so you know how are your levels... and that will be it...prepare yourselves for this...let me tell you the job is worthy... hope this helps
