Hello Guys, I went for the screening process In Amsterdam a few months back.. I have two opinions:
Yes, it took for me around 2 months to get a response from them after I submit all my documents. Some of the documents needed to be reviewed and sent them back again for review. This is the longest process..
After documents reviewed and approuved I got my screening dates after 1 month..
Screening process: 3 days in Amsterdam pay by AA. (I paid my flights from my home base to Amsterdam round trip.)
Once your screening dates are confirmed, they will share a syllabus for the LOE (Flight plan, charts..)
As comments before, 1st Day screening:
-Group Interview: Introduction, previous company experience, and review of Simulator LOE.
-Panel Interview: Personal interview, 6 questions, (2 memory items, 2 limitations, 2 systems questions For TR.)..
-Simulator the most important process, DECISION MAKING.. Yes, first some minutes to get warm up with some basic manuevers, steep turns, climb, descent, speed, ILS raw data no A/T.
During my LOE, HYD 2 Fail, Ámsterdam to Brussels. We decided to continue to Brussels due weather and passengers for connecting flights and AME in Brussels available. Once manual gear extended, F3, during ILS, the localizar frequencies fail. We descontinue the approach and request vectors RNP approach. (Remember DODAR, TEST, Comoany and PAX announcements..)
Sim instructors play different ATC company flight numbers.(EX: Air Astana 123 or Air Astana 321 to check your flight managment).
We call PAN PAN and gave us 8 sequence for landing. DO NOT RUSH! Request holding until all checks are done. 10 kts tailwind landing..
2nd day screening: COMPASS, I think this is the most important. Go to LatestPilotJobs and pay for the full COMPASS test training. I prepared 2 months before, (Memory, maths, ATPL questions, coordination and psychologist test.
-Late afternoon, HR interview, chief pilot and HR..(Why I continue to Brussels instead of Amsterdam, CRM questions and any emergency we got in our career.. NEVER SAY NO.. Explain one or two issues you had and why resolve it!
As humble opinion the presentation also helps. Wear a nice suit for the screening process.
After screening, only 1 pass from 4. Yes it’s difficult but if you study you can make it!
Yes, upgrades are posibles depending on your performance..
I flew Captian on E145 and 190 for several years then 777 for a Chinese company as FO, and yes was the worst experience because the Chinese.
Even for FO, AA is a good place to start for NTR, any questions my WhatsApp +918431433809.
Good flights!

As been said on this thread countless of times, do not waste your time with this outfit!!! Don’t say you haven’t been warned when you just get rejected after sending a boat load of documents or doing a good assessment then failing.
They were getting away with these shenanigans when there was no jobs during the pandemic but no one really needs to put up with their world tour anymore.

Stop this, let people make their own choices.
You've warned us, which is appreciated.
Thanks for your valuable feedback, but move on bro.
Didn't you mention you've already invested enough time in A.A.?
Peace

Quick question
Hey
Did anyone face this on multiple basis , first when I applied my application was rejected, then got approved, I got told that I’m on standby list for assessments and then eventually they invited me for assessments on a 3 day notice , which I was unable coz there was no way i could refresh my sim knowledge. Then got told to wait for next assessment and have been waiting since then . Last week I got a mail saying that now my application is rejected for school performance (I have an 89% avg cpl-ir passed in first attempt just for info ) .
how are they able to reject my application now if they were going to assess me earlier ?
do let me know what I could do to maybe sort this or if you know someone whom I could contact .
Regards

Take the L and move on.
Read a few pages of this thread & you might get an idea of the show that's going on. If I'm right they have been open to apply since 2019/20. For a small airline, I wonder how many pilots they need or if its that hard to find qualified pilots especially after covid. Either their standards are so astronomically high that only a few manage to get hired all these years or.....

Hello guys,
Whomst got an assessment date before the end of the year ? I got my docs approved but it seems there is no availability until far, very far in the future.
By the way I see a lot of hate regarding Air Astana but one of my FO’s used to work there and he loved it. 🤟
