Gulf Air interview
 
Thanks a lot for all the respons,I have been there and are offered a job.:D

Brenoch 1st Nov 2004 22:52

Good luck mate,

They offer it to anyone bothered enough to pitch up...

vfenext 2nd Nov 2004 03:15

Brenoch- I take it you didnt bother to pitch up then! Seeing as you are a SKYGOD and above everyone else who might need a job! Another begrudger just what the industry needs. Tibesti, best of luck, and no they dont offer it to anyone who shows up.

Brenoch's statement is arrogant, and inaccurate...:rolleyes: One might discover that those not likely to be successful, are not invited to attend in the first place....

Brenoch 2nd Nov 2004 13:29

I did attend, and indeed was offered the job..

vfenext 2nd Nov 2004 13:55

PLEASE tell us you said no! With your attitude you are better off at home in front of the tele.

Brenoch 2nd Nov 2004 15:39

exhale, wait for it... yes I did.. ;)

GF
 
OK Brenoch Prove us that you have been there,what was the scenario like ?
I think you are a misserable liar.:confused:

Brenoch 3rd Nov 2004 12:44

When I went it was a two day job. It was quite a few of us there so we were divided into two groups.

First day we had a couple of exercises both individual and in group and also the interview with someone from the H.R. department and someone from the flight department, in my case the fleet captain B767.

One individual task was a bit of a flightplanning bit (can't remember all the details). I seem to recall it being a flight from Karachi to Jeddah and back. You were presented with various problems along the way such as a purser acting up and refusing to fly with one of the other crewmembers and your "enroute alternates" offered various options such as fuel but no maintenance etc. Also it was during ramadan so the pax where not allowed to have their dindins during the hours of daylight.

Then there was a group exercise were the group was supposed to be the board of directors of a fictional airline, evaluating what type of equipment to use on a new route.

Second day included varoius individual tests such as math, technical exam, personality quiz, psychosometric (doubtful of spelling) tests and a tour of Bahrain.

We were put in the Mövenpick hotel right next to the airport and Gulfair HQ.

I can't remember all the details as I'm sure you aswell as I have been to quite a few of these interviews/assesments in your carreer. I hope I have convinced you and I would appreciate if you didn't call me a miserable liar. ;)

wonder6969 3rd Nov 2004 13:06

not a liar but still miserable...

Brenoch 3rd Nov 2004 13:25

Thats fine because it's not too far from the truth. :p

picobello 3rd Nov 2004 13:35

Brenoch :

Can I ask you why you didn't join GF?

:hmm:

and Tibesti 3415 congratulation for your positiv selection...:=

Brenoch 3rd Nov 2004 13:43

You sure may,

I'm not interested in cutting my pay in half and on top of that relocate to the mid-east. When I applied my personal situation was quite a bit different from what it is today which is why i didn't think much of going down to the sandpit for a couple of years but now it's just not feasible. Not for that amount of money anyway.

picobello 3rd Nov 2004 14:30

Ok fair enough! But looking on the money side I think GF offer still interesting... It's not EK but not too bad... and if you prefer paying taxes.....:} The choice is yours...:E

Brenoch 3rd Nov 2004 14:57

Tis true, but still, even after tax my takehome is still way above what GF is offering..

picobello 3rd Nov 2004 15:31

lucky men!:cool:

nollocks 4th Nov 2004 03:57

It’s not really a long term option for the expat boys. The Bahraini boys are ok as they have a pension etc. Schooling is also very expensive to which GF only pay a fraction. If you don’t have a job or need a better type rating then good stepping stone, I believe GF want it that way.

Brenoch…. You’re lucky they put you in the Mövenpick hotel. Trying to make a good impression me thinks!

Picobello… try doing a search heaps of information on previous posts.

vfenext 4th Nov 2004 20:03

Brenoch is earning twice the Gf salary where he is now! The salary is not the highest in the industry but it is as good as any in the region. To be earning twice even with tax is v good indeed, you must be on at least $13000 per month as F/O!(cause they are not taking direct entry capts) Wait a minute!!!! Somebody is telling pork pies and it aint me!

Brenoch 5th Nov 2004 11:55

I never said my takehome was twice that what you get at GF, that my friend I stated was higher.. Please read the posts a bit more carefully before you post you arrogant tw@t..

Furthermore, you are assuming I'm F/O despite the fact that I've stated that things have changed quite a bit since applying to GF...

I'll leave you with your assumptions and wild allegations for now..
