What_goes_up in the intervtew be yourself, don't try and impress we're not looking for rocket scientists, we're looking for guys and gals who can get along with others and have a professional attitude.

NOTECHS is a BA invetion and it is designed to evaluate and assist your "non Technical" skills in other words the instructor is not only looking at how you flew the single engine approach but how you interacted with the other crew member. In a few words its applied crm in the flightdeck. The concept of NOTECHS is to train instructors and examiners not only to intsruct and evaluate technical skills but also non technical which nowadays lead to many aircraft accidents. By filming the sim session you will see many things which you probably don't even remember you did or said, things which you will realize that although seemed at the time a given to you led to confussion for example. Very interesting stuff, I'm sure you'll be impressed and learn a lot.

I would advise reading up on your A320 limitations and memory items.

Best of luck to you
Regards
Snails

What you mean we don’t get to build things out of lego and play silly games! That’s a strange way of doing things.

Air Mike YES 757 is fine

If you want phone now they are still very short and a few joiners have not shown up the last few days (watch too much news i reckon) so there are slots available right now

Go for it S.L.

Hi guys

URGENT (time is running fast)
It's time to make a decision as I am holding an offer to join GF on A320 fleet. Could you please feed me with some more facts about lifestile, housing and so on? How long do you think would it take to join longhaul (I am A330 rated as well)? How long to upgrade (I have ATPL and around 4000 hours). Would anybody care to PM a typical A320 and A330 roster?

Thank you very much

PS: How is diving in Bahrain?

Diving...well....it has never been spectacular, but an active friendly club has made it enjoyable, however huge land reclamation projects of late have silted up the waters a bit...progression to the a-330/340 fleet seems to be on order of seniority, commands are a bit more complex...

What goes Up Don't expect to get on A330/340 as I have a friend who has been on 767 for 9 years and is still stuck on it. You could I suppose hope that seniority will be disregarded in future and your previous A330 experience becomes all important but don't bet on it.

It is for a 767 F/O position.
It surprised me quite a lot, since I was told that there were to be no more B767 F/O hiring at least for a while. I guess things have changed.
I have about 6000 hours, 1000 B767/B757.
I was contacted by Sniperhire. I just confirmed my interview for July 5th in London.

Later..

There has been recent approval to recruit 12 Capts & 12 F/Os.

Expect a technical exam and straightforward interview.

Good Luck.

I hear that you are only going to be in the interview for no more than one (1) hour in London. Fly in the day before, Interview for one hour and then that is it. Is there any truth to this? Can any one shed some light please?
