Oh and just to say at the Employment conference run by BALPA at LHR on Oct 20, the EY Capt said all new hires will not be bonded to the company.

First i've heard on that but a very attractive proposition if true...

Guess what, they just want the pilots on a short term basis, like in the old days with our ex GF guys, 18 months average contract duration....

Why a bond then....?

What happened to that EY/EK interview guide/website that was available for down load?

The website doesnt seem to exist anymore.
I folks! I'm invited for an interview in November. Does anyone have some useful info regarding this 3 day event? Day one seems like a psycho test day, day two is sim and day three a medical. What kind of tests can I expect? Particular questions for the tech interview? Sim scenario? Any tips/highlights are appreciated! Many thanks in advance and please feel free to PM/Email if you get the urge!

high failing rate

Hi there,
I've heard that there is a very high failing rate during the interview. Is it true?

It just means you get (annually) an increment of AED500/month. Your multiplying skills are enviable but surely you don't believe they'd give that kind of increment do you? Keep it simple.

Reading a lot of interesting posts and information here. I hope someone would be kind enough to answer the unanswered questions too.

Thumbs up

Going for an interview on the 20th of November, would appreciate any info on the technical test. Flying an A320 at the moment.

Dear dsp

Don’t know much about the selection. However think twice before you accept the A320 offer.

This is what you can expect:

NO MFF (A320/330) for new joiners before completion of 1 year on the 320. – However it could take much longer because the fleet will be expanding and it will always be short of crew. So eventually if it happens you can expect to fly the 330 once or twice per month which is around 250 hours a year.

NO transfers to the A340.

No upgrades on the 320. Instead you will be upgraded on the 330.

Now this is interesting:
To be evaluated for Command (A330) among others you need
Minimum of 1500 hours on type (A330)
Or
18 months of service in the company with at least 700 hours on type(A330)

If my calculations are correct you can expect to be on the 320 for a minimum of ±4 years as FO. In the meantime less senior Type rated or NON type rated (Gulf air 767?) that join the 330/340 will be upgrade well before.

Nevertheless when you become a Captain you will be MFF A320/330 again. Oops
I know what you think now: the 330 upgrade instead of 320 upgrade policy is just a trick to delay the upgrade of certain FOs and to hire more DECs instead.

Well unfortunately we have seen similar tricks before with pay rise, overtime, housing and rent to own.
