p ripper- "group session" ????
Are you sure you are talking about Eagle??
if true, it wont be long before it becomes a three day process?
where has this movement come from?
pre-emptive or post progression?

3 Day process
Nike....
That day has come.... persons who are on the next round have been told 1 day - Interview, 1 day - AST-300 Sim, 1 day - Group session. Not necessarily in that order.
First time I've heard of the group session, I wonder if the process is the going the same way as the Air NZ International process.
I attended a an Air NZ interview for a ground position years ago and even for that job, group sessions, logic & psych testing was all conducted by a personnel recruitment agency.
Girt_bar: Two, that I know of, are from GA scheduled ops from North Is.
Good luck y'all
S2K
PS: Did the Maori mobster get an interview??? He should have his shiny new CPL by now and probably changed the colour of his shoes as well. Might even have a 'Koru' tattooed on his left cheek to show loyalty to the national waka
Don't go shooting up the town if you missed out MM

the mobster has hit the tui factory with a storm and got himself an interview
what do they want to see from the little bro from the east coast. if it has anything to do with beer, the treaty of waitangi and indoor home gardening i can answer. what other stuff would they ask?
well i've done that multi ifr stuff. that's why i have been so quiet. bean studying.
hey sqwark2000 you said something about a sim ride. we have one of those sims at massey. i could tag it, or convert it into a hydropnic garden if you wanted, aye!
and a group session? a group session of what? seeing who can smoke the longest? who can drink the most tui's in one sitting? who caught the biggest fish? who can drink and smoke at the same time?
what's in a group session? sounds rather dodgie to me bro
oh well better go and start studying up on the treaty stuff again, might come in handy

Apologies for going off topic, but...
..just for the record, the maori mobster is clearly not from Massey.
Perhaps the maori mobster is from a rival training organization?
Mobster, who were the last 6 lecturers that you had at Massey? And for what papers? Must say that I like your sense of humour though.

Masseygrad, mate, its a wind up, a W-I-N-D-U-P....... get it?
Geez, no wonder you guys have a bad rep, no sense of humour at all! (re-read your own post, then tell me I'm wrong). Couldn't have folks thinking that MM works for the mighty Massey now could we......guess you didn't get a call on Tuesday then?

Mobster,
Remember to take some of auntie Matawai's Pork and Poha (not the electric poha though aye bro) to the interveiw and maybe some mutton birds (you can pick some up on your next cross country to Great Barrier). That will be sure to impress them heaps wicked and thens you will get the too much flash job cuz!
Be sure to dazzle them with all the fantastic knowledge that Massey has instilled in you, they train you to be an airline pilot remember, so the interveiw will be a walk in the park!
Am surprised that Massey grad's even bother with Eagle, I thought you went straight from Massey onto a jet?

Pheeeew bro. Congrads on the interview cuz. Uncile Bully told me the other day when we were out in the bush watering the plants. (nearly ready bro)
Hes going to be so proud of when you start flying those flash as white whakas around the air bro. Told me you were going to buy him a huge as 53inch whapa vision, with sky and everything when you start earning the big money. Cheeeer bro.
Auntie Matawai wants me to go and start training at that Massey place like you cuz, but I dont know about that masseygrad guy bro, think he should have taken that humour 101 paper aye bro.
Any way cuz, good luck. Uncile Bully and auntie Matawai have got a huage as hungi with lots of Tui waiting for you down here at the Black Rock. So you better get down here with your flash as Uniform bro.
Kia kaha.

my bro's back on the coast would think nothing of taking a little something for the way home, since the only kfc shop is about 4 hours drive away.
auntie matawai, i thinks me better warn you about her. just before i left for the big smoke she took me aside and tried it on. all i can say is she had a big hairy tongue.
i have been studying up on the massey indoctrination stuff that they gave to me when i joined massey. all the guff about massey is the one and only school.... from ppl to air new zealand in a couple of years........ our students have gone on to highly paid overseas jet jobs............. we are the best............
i think i stand a pretty good chance at this interview, it's a sure thing!!!!
for the record i don't really want to travel too far from home at the moment. i'm just finishing up the season and need to get the crops ready for next year.
better go cos i have to take the cosby kids to the swimming pool

come on Split Flap, can't we leave "my school's better than your school" in the yard where it belongs?
I really enjoyed my days at Massey, and I found taking the ground school subjects way beyond ATPL level to be very useful on the job. And you're right, it makes the interviews easier too.
So pull your head in before you bag what you know nothing about.
Good luck Maori Mobster you'll be paddling that sky waka in no time.

Kiwinewbie,
The subject of Massey came up from one of your own. It was his prissy little post that inspired a little p!$$ taking. I might ask why masseygrad thought that MM was "clearly not from Massey", but that is getting into territory that you or he does not want to cross into. You lot do seem to be pretty sensitive to any sort of critisism. Your post is a good example. I will give you another one. A few years ago when I was in GA we recieved an application from a Massey student. It stated that He/She (we received 2, both the same apart from the name at the top) was enrolled in a world class course designed to produce top class airline pilots. It went on to say that the course ran on a process of self-selection and out of 40 odd students who had begun the course, only 10 remained as the others were mentally and physically unable to handle the rigors of the course (Intimating that these remaining individuals were obviously superior, but they had yet to finish the course themselves). This individual did not even have a CPL or instrument rating yet, but at the end of this asked as to the advisability of doing a 737 rating. I know lots of folks who went to Massey, and they are good people, but things like this don't help your reputation. The general perception in the industry is this, like it or not:
Hi, I'm from Massey, wheres my job?"

OK Split Flap, well it sounds like you're speaking from personal experience with some genuine turkeys, so if I lumped you in with the usual ill-informed Massey baggers around here then I apologise. As for wishing some of them would pull their heads out of the sand, I couldn't agree more.
Nosegear: P1sstake away! :-) I'm not the least bit sensitive about Massey. If your facts are accurate then let it rip. At least it makes for more informed discussion than the usual ignorant Massey bashing. Don't take me for some masked massey avenger, I've got my fair share of gripes with them same as many ex students. It's just the endless inference that all ex-Massey pilots are starry-eyed blowhards that bugs me - just one of the unexpected 'benefits' of studying there I guess
10 graduating out of 40 is fairly typical. 6 or 7 papers a year is a standard full-time university workload, the BAv requires 10-12 papers a year for the first 2 years.
Just in case students think weekends are for part time jobs and drinking, the usual CPL MEIFR training is done simultaneously.
Unlike it's overseas counterparts though, I can't see Massey getting its graduates reduced minimum interviews with the NZ regionals any time soon!
So does Massey produce part 135 drivers able to make someone money in a 206 any better than the next guy though? Probably not, and neither is that their objective.
It's just a pity the 'pride in their effort' goes to the head of some of the ex students out there. Makes things harder on the rest of us just trying to get on with it!

KN (aka: The Masked Massey Avenger)
For someone who is not sensitive, you certainly leaped into it boots and all. If you re-read the posts, you will see we only lightly touched on the subject of Massey, and then you came riding in.
As I stated, I know Massey folk who are good blokes (and bloke-esses), however the industry wide reputation remains, in that they tend to be a little overblown with a superior attitude. This leaves a bad taste in peoples mouth. masseygrads post is a good example of this. You seem to be getting on with things, and it was not my intention, nor did I, bag the actual course itself. As for the applications, or whatever they were, I held them in my hot little hands, and I'm sure if you ask around, you will find others who saw the same stock standard......letter I will call it for lack of a more acurate term. This was obviously penned by someone who should have known better. I was in GA at the time, operating piston twins, so why would someone, in an apparent attempt to apply to us, ask us about getting a jet rating, when they have yet to complete their CPL? Obviously a little research into the companys they are applying to is in order. I am sure any company receiving several of these letters where the only difference is the name at the top, is going to form an opinion of the writers, and by association, their course provider. Combine the two, and presto, bad rep! And you know how these things tend to get around. As for cutting corners into NZ regionals, apart from the 1000 hours required, for insurance by the way, you said yourself they are no better at operating a 206 than anyone else, so why would you think they can then operate a high speed turbo prop any better than anyone else?
For the record, I also happen to believe that they should be proud of what they have achieved, as does any Uni grad.
Good luck with your career

Well done Mobster, mission accomplished again.
You've taken a seemingly innocuous topic and managed to manipulate another "Let's rubbish Massey again" thread.
Good on ya mate.
