I got an invitation for the SHL online thingymajig yesterday. Infact, i got 2 emails, both identical - neither of which had the attachment giving me info on the testing.
Give up now i hear you say?..... NEVA!

I also got the same double email minus the attachment. Emailed with the problem and had the attachment sent monday morning. Looking for practice tests to do online at the moment. Already done the SHL one and was a little slow in the numerical thing.

I didnt complete either test, yet passed through to Stage 3.
As for the Emails with no link, they did that to me several months back, the second one contained the link though. Strange!

Carambar was on the money Politically Blonde, i didnt finish either test.
Verbal Reasoning is not particularly easy and unless you read the paragraphs a little more carefully than you read mine you will struggle.
Oh, and blonde moment or not, insinuating that someone is a liar like that is rather rude and will not serve you well in this industry. Try to be a bit more careful...
Good luck for your Psych testing whenever you do it.

FYI I've done a few psychometric tests in my time for diff reasons and I don't remember finishing any of them off. As someone put it earlier, its about quality not quantity.
Good luck mate.
Good luck mate.
Mmmm...
45 DEFO's? Now let me see...
Better start competeing for pilots. Oh that's right, we don't compete do we. My bad, better start those schedule reductions then.

- DJ...110+
- JQ...300+

Time will tell P.B.
Are you sure you're not living in a different GA to one I'm observing?
Also, just because someone has the mins, it doesn't necessarily mean they will work out. While we're on that subject, what are the mins down to now?
The margins are thinner than some people (especially certain airline managers) think. Whatever happens though, 2010 will be entertaining. Best of luck with your application.

Speaking of psych tests, does anyone happen to know if they have an expiry date? I did mine last year and was told I had made it through to the next stage but then the crash hit and Im hoping I don't have to sit it again. I also didn't finish my psych tests so tend to agree with what has been said previously.

On the subject of whether or not cadets will be taken on before DEFOs, i know of one cadet ( who was culled when the cadetship ceased last year and has bare min CPL and IR) that in the last week has been given a start date for ground school. Seems they arent too interested in hiring experienced drivers.
Woki, two questions;
1. Could you please clarify what you mean by 'experienced'?
2. Are you suggesting that because they hire one low time traineeship candidate, that they no longer have any desire to hire anything but???

The current course apparently has a mixture of both direct entry with "experience" (for j3 that means people with ATPLs or have the pic/icus time to activate their atpls and who are just short of tt or night) and trainees that just have the bare cpl and ir. The majors are starting to hire with numbers of >200 in the next 12 months and are looking at the regionals for their source of pilots. The link must be sweating atm (or maybe not) as it's starting to look very bottom-heavy with inexperienced pilots who if the icus program isnt approved (and there are doubts that it ever will be) will be scrambling to find direct entry captains or face the inevitable of reducing schedules.
hmmm eapilot where'd you get those dubious facts from?

What about the guys who started in December (6 weeks ago); all of whom had well over 2000TT
