The strangest thing about the whole process was being told at the part 2 assessment that 'your aviation experience has no bearing on today' (or words to that effect) and 'aviation experience will give you no advantage over other candidates.
Perhaps they just said that to create the impression of a level playing field for people with 0 flying hours. Or perhaps CAE truly did not care for any of your aviation experience.
Seems rather odd to me. 'Hi, we're interviewing you for a role as a pilot but we don't care about your experience as a pilot.'

Having 5, 10, 20... hours now won't make much difference by the time you get checked to line.

It's an Ab Initio cadet program. They're assessing your soft skills (teamwork, communication, stress management...) to see if you have these basic attributes to become an effective part of an airline flight crew.

I applied for the program and everyone I met was studying something aviation related (eg dual degree in aviation and business, or had some flight hours) or involved in aviation in some other form (baggage handlers and flight attendants).

In regards to the SAT testing, I never did physics; and my maths knowledge while excellent in high school, is no longer great unfortunately. What kind of questions can I expect to be asked? And is there any way I can study up?
Yeh, what do they know about the skillset required to operate in an airline. I've heard Georgina might be moving on soon, maybe that role would be more suitable given your obvious deep insight?

I sat my skills asesment on the 7th of September and the lady supervising the test said that it would take 3-4 weeks to get an email regarding whether you were successful or not. I'm assuming it'd be any day now that we'd here from Jetstar for those that sat the test about a month ago. Has anybody heard anything yet?
Instead of an emphasis on skill, problem solving, the ability to stay calm under pressure and logic, there was too much of an emphasis on how you get along with others, even if they're wrong as hell.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I agree with you sometimes the panel can be tedious but flying the plane is the easy part.

I've been advised that no one will receive any advice until all the SAT assessments are complete. I believe the last assessments are booked for 18th Oct.
The group and individual interviews are more then likely going to occur late Nov/early Dec to allow HSC (or equivalent) exams to be completed.
