Thoughts on TUI Fly programme in Belgium

That would be quite a struggle for some, as one might not be able to make real social Interactions in the programme and feel overwhelmed (if you are not prepared). Which dates are you going to the HQ?

I'm scheduled for the end of April. March first is soon! Good luck I'm curious what the group assessment is like, since it's only 30 minutes I think.

I do not know the finer details about the difference licenses available, but I think I've read somewhere that an MPL could be converted to an (f)ATPL with just a little bit of extra training. The theory is, after all, the same. Especially with the TR that you'll get at TUI Fly, and the hours you log in the 8 months that you'll work for them, I'm sure everything is not lost when you don't get another offer after these 8 months.

Anyway, I think TUI Fly is spending a considerable amount of money on us on their end as well: I can't imagine that the 50k covers the entire training, and I can also not imagine that they would invest in students and an entire MPL programme, only to find some people for the summer period and then wave them goodbye again. But of course, that's speculation.

Yes, 1st March! It was offered to me in the online call, but the date is ok, so no problem : ). Although a later date does not really mean better, as I think it would (hopefully) be advantageous to go ahead with the interview now, as you are the first wave, I guess. But I am curious because there are so many dates. Does anyone know how many have applied and reached this stage? And how many places are available? In my case, I would start the training just after high school, but without a degree, or else. What are your profiles, if I may ask . Even in your teens? I wish you all the best of luck and if you want we could start a whats app group or something where we can prepare together as a team.

Now to what you said about the MPL/fATPL: I believe that it is unlikely that a company as employee-friendly as TUI would really run a training programme if it did not bring benefits to both sides. Right? : )

Exciting! Well again, best of luck.

I’d also very much like to know the amount of candidates and the amount of people who get to this stage. I guess we’ll never really know. Also, I’m not sure how many pilots they need.

I do have a degree, and my teens are longer ago than I care to admit (just kidding, I’m not that old).

I’ll PM you my phone number, a WhatsApp group sounds like a good idea!

Hi guys I also got the call to go to HQ the 18th of April and I've just seen a video of tui that said that the mpl license doesn't tie you to TUI

still no call. I did the tests last Sunday. How was the call? Was it like an interview or more of an informal talk about the interview at the HQ

[GuillaumeB]

Online assessment

How to prepare for the online test (logical, numerical, verbal reasoning)? difficulty?

Regarding the English test, what are the different parts of the test?

If someone could give me some advice it would be nice

thanks

and that
I did the test and to be honest there is no need to prepare for it to much its quite easy to do the tests. About the english part there is a written one were you choose from some words and a spoken part were you have to record your voice and that it is.

The call was more like a chat with the recruiter. Nothing where they were demanding something really, they just were informing about the face to face assessment. When you know your date, you may PM me your number so that we can coordinate with the others, regarding the preparation, etc. (everyone who goes to the face to face interview can dm me their number, you are all welcome to join )

The call was just a chat to set up de date of the interview

HQ Assessment: 1st of March

Does anyone here have the face to face assessment the 1st of March in Zaventem?
If yes dm me if you like, I am happy to colaborate in our preparation.
The rest: the offer of the group is still available. We already got the opportunity of being 5 group members: really helpful group, I certainly recommend it .(If interested, DM me too )

[African_TrouserSnake]

You can convert an mpl to an atpl but restricted to multi pilot ops only. No grandfather cpl spo grandfather rights.

operator restriction is a hoax, as a matter of fact a majority of thr mpl cadets went to other places below 1500h (ASL/Brussels/…) this maybe tells you something about tuibe as employer as well.

50k from zero to hero incl TR, and a contract, good deal, take it. Expect to be treated like a kid in primary school. Be able to deal with ancient attitudes from instructors at times.

[GuillaumeB]

Thanks and what is the score request for the English test?

[man_flex_68]

I have also passed the online assessment and was asked to come for the F2F/-Group assessment to Zeventem in May as they don't have any available dates. I assume there are many applicants as it takes so long for the interview. Anyone else scheduled in May?

[man_flex_68]

I have also received an invitation for the face-to-face interview and the group assessment on May, 16th. Let us know how it went, guys! And wishing you good luck with preparation!

[FlyingSpaghettiMan]

Hi,

I also got an invitation for the face2face interview @ HQ, will be March 27th!
I am very interested in joining the group for the preparation but for some reason I am unable to DM you.

Can someone in the group send me a DM? Then I can drop my number there

Thx!

[man_flex_68]

Same here!

[Clapiers.34830]

Hi guys !
I've just received an invitation for the first tests. Any recommandation for the verbal, logical and reasoning part?
Also, do you know if there are any groups created to discuss?

If not, we could create a telegram or something.

Good luck !
