i have done the assessment and got accepted but now I'm going to do the 14 GCAA ATPL exam's
about the assessment first stage you’re going to need a reference lice the site (adapt personal questions) as there will be multiple choice questions in the assessment in different subjects like :aviation knowledge,conflicts,fast,personal questions,math and physics memory check and multi skills..
in the second stage of the assessment it will be an interview like any airline pilot job interview you’ll be asked personal and technical questions and you will have to to a verbally project in one of your choices of subject they will give you the options

Hi I did my assessment in JAN, no news from them yet. I know someone who did his back in DEC & they had send him an email last month saying they would begin interviews the following week but nothing after that! About my initial assessment, it had a CPL level questionnaire, FAST and personality test.
Any Alpha cadets here? Do they really take so long to do your assessments? 2-3 months without any updates is quite strange IMHO.

reality
1. fo salary first salary is 5k - last salary after 4000hrs(7years) is 36k this is all inclusive.
2. bond of 150k - any “problem” with you , company will do everything they can to recover this money.
3. any extra training is chargeble
4. Discuss with any pilots who work here(Not the indigo/i lost my job 2 years ago pilots) and they would tell you the reality of this profession.
there are some hard realities of this profession that isn't shared on news or media,
from how your nationality matters,
how attitudes are vastly different from normal people,
what it takes to keep yours eyes open at 5am over the indian ocean,
wishing you could wake up fresh at least once in a month
shifting schedules, one day night, one day morning, one day 4 am departure, it gets really bad, as every company wants fly to limits.
my opinion- why become a pilot when you could do a much easier job and earn twice or more salary?

I am an arabia cadet. Tell the truth, it would take around 8years to complete from the beginning which is from the ATPL GS till 1500hrs completion. even before covid, it tooks more than 5years. since covid they keep hiring new cadets. the cadets who joined this program in 2018 still waiting for joining airline training. it's been 4years since they joined this program. and they are expecting to join airline to start to build up 1500hrs end of this year. so it's been around 4~5years to join the airline. also for 1500hrs, it usually takes 2years. so even people joined in 2018 they would have spent 6~7years to become first officer who get normal salary as we expect if we get contract. since covid, they accepted more people to join their program. they will make you finish within 3~4years but it doesn't mean that you're going to airline right after you complete the mpl course. after you finish your mpl, we think it takes around 1year delay to join airline because a lot of cadets in between line training and sim traninig phase.
