GF Psychometric test
Anybody knows where I can take a Psychometic Assessement test ??
I know Oxford gives out a three day course with all kind of testings, including the Psychometric test but they don't administer it separately.
GF requires one. It could even be an old one.
I took one with my current airline, but they won't give me my results, stating it is the company's property now.
GF provided 4 differents companies that offer the test, but no luck with them.
DLR Hamburg/Parc aviation/Oxford and British Aerospace.
Thanks

For GF, go to their website www.gulfairco.com and do it.

Gulf Air recruitment
Any chance of Gulf Air recruiting non B-767 rated pilots for their B-767 fleet? I believe they have complete transition training facilities at their training centre at Doha.
Any info on this will be welcome.

You guys must be really desperate. Please read a bit more about GF here in the ME forum. GF.....don't go there.
We left GF about 2 weeks ago after working for them for 3 years.
Routes are dreadfull, politics ( who you know not what you know) is terrible but most of all, 80 % of management are liars.
For those who had to move to AUH the VPO Hameed Ali stated during a meeting in front of approx 50 pilots and/or their wifes: " Your lifestyle won't be changed!!!!" Well I do not know how he sees it but moving from a 4 bedroom private villa with private garden and swimingpool,to a 2 bedroom appartment to me is a change of lifestyle. but as long as it doesn't effect them.....as long as they can fill their pockets.....
Still feel upset about the way the VPO and his clan have been dealing with their colleagues, and this is the least to say...
Some figures: more than 50 percent of new hires leaves within the first year.
Hopefully Mr. Hill will get a chance to change this extemely disturbing "management". (read mob)
I must add that there are very nice and decent managers, but they are overpowered by the bad ones.
To our dear friends/ex-colleagues out there: Jan is now employed by a dutch airline, he is very happy.
They are expanding, interesting routes (e.g. Dutch antilles) with decent stopovers ( 2 to 3 days) etc. etc.
They are looking for 767 rated cpts, do not know about fo's. Ofcourse you must be entiteled to live and work in the EC.
If you are interested, mail me at [email protected] this address still works.
Best of luck to all of you. Please remember: you cannot trust Gulf Air, you will have rights in the ME, but GF won't allow you to "use" them. They will only (ab)use you!!!
Brgrds, Tanya
