Hi all
I am also going for interviews this month. I have 1,000Hrs TT and 700Hrs B737-300.
Could anyone give an idea of what I could expect for the FO's process. So far I have only been scheduled for a Psychometric Test (Luton) and Sim ride (Manchester).
I would assume the Psychometric test is about verbal, arithmetical and spatial.
Sim ride/s? How many and what do they throw at you? I assume this will be done on the 737-sim. I have not actually been told whether I am interviewing for the 737 or 757/767. Of course I am also assuming 737 again.
Cheers,
T'n'O

On the move
I am a 737 driver and I have just been told that I am on the 757 sim. Isn't funny how both of us have been put on to different aircraft for the sim.
So lets help each other out!!!
Check your PMs... I have sent you a run down on the 737!!!

psychometric tests for brittania/thomsonfly are the watson glazier type.
these things are ancient but they are still used by PARC, brittania, thomsonfly.
dont ask where you can get your hands on them. i cant help you there.

I think they are looking for stable/intravert types
I think a little revision of some of that ATPL Human Performance, regarding personality factors is in order:
In terms of pilot selection we can see that the stable extrovert is the personality most likely to have desirable pilot qualities.

I didn't make my point very clear. Most airlines want stable/extrovert. Britannia want s/intravert. I'm not a pyschologist but I think there is some truth in this if you know the pilots, they are a slightly different breed. Of course I can think of some exceptions, I was one for starters.
Not many airlines employ a pychologist purely for interviews like Brits so it must be important to them.
And my point was that Gron-whatever is so nice don't even bother about it, be yourself (perhaps a little less extrovert though).
Just an observation but most airlines like gold stripes, Brits and a few others like platinum. A little understated, perhaps a reflection on what the company looks for? Great company, go for it.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little but I am up for the second stage interviews and sim in a few weeks and would love a rundown on what to expect in the interviews. Along the lines of, are tech questions asked if your already type rated and the general format.
Many thanks

Ignore the introvert/extrovert bollox. After you fill out the 300 questions just be sure of one thing..... If you lied, you will get caught out.
The rest has been covered a million times. Do a search as the procedure hasnt changed in as many years.
Good luck.
