hiring pilots on a class B salary is NOT employing a pilot for a lifetime relationship and sense of belonging. It means you are cheap labour, the DLH cpt on the LHS will be part of the Lufthansa dream career, as the managers in Frankfurt running the airlines...you will be a second class pilot.
That is what ruined relationship in CX.
If they really wanted to have Lufthansa pilots based in MXP, at the end of the tough selection process they should offer you a LH contract..otherwise it is a big NO THANKS for me.

What is wrong with you people? It is a good salary, if you take all the extras into account. You are getting the type-rating (who ever said you would have to pay for that???). The LHI operation I know is shaped by a very good sense of commuality and if we can keep the spirit of LH through the start-up phase (experienced LH pilots will hopefully ensure the standards are kept high), you will have a good life. It may not be the German way, but I believe that LH Italia will be a great company.
I do agree that the conditions are maybe not good enough for someone who is a captain elsewhere, but ideal for someone fresh out of school. If you don't like it, you don't have to apply! LH is not giving away christmas presents, but it is not all about money!

Thank you azdriver!
Good info
To confirm: NO RAG-Mathematics
, NO TVT-Physics
"By the way, today and tomorrow there are the first sim assessment after last year, we wait for the reports asap!"
What do you mean with that azdriver? Have you been waiting to do a sim assessment for one year or so?
Thanks!

Re DLR test:
Watch out, as the tests are different each time. We had no maths but the supposedly obsolescent zigzag test.
Buy the book and get the Sky-test software and practice, practice, practice.
IMHO the two hardest tests are running memory span (RMS) and visual perception (OWT). For the latter, make sure you train with the correct version (i.e. digits removed!!).
The definitive source of info is:
Pilotenboard.de :: DLR-Test, Lufthansa, AUA, ... :: Infos, Ausbildung, Erfahrungsberichte :: Index
There is a lot written and talked about DLR, whether it's fair or not I can't say and it doesn't really matter because it is as it is. All I can say is put the hours in and you have a good chance. After all I passed it

Ciao Ricky,
Scusa ma....what do you know about the relationship between A scale, B scale, Freighter scale etc. in CX?
Poi...seeing as you are determined NOT to apply to LHI, why do you even bother to write on this forum?
Terza, e l'ultima, domanda....are you even airbus type-rated?
Vai piano e basso, sempre...
Mandi frut.

Age laws in EU
The age laws in the EU have been changed: it is now no longer allowed for a company (like LH or LHI) to demand an age limit, if they do they can be sued for discrimination. To be honest, if they really do not want anybody in age above 32 years old, then they will still have to invite qualified pilots for the selection and wash them out with some other factor. This is their game and they can play by the rules they create within a larger EU mandated set of laws (such as the age clause). I say good luck to all who apply, I wish you the best!

Hi everybody,
I had an invitation for the DLR the 22nd october. At this date I'll be in Africa for a raid, and so until the 26th...
Do you know if it's possible to ask for another date? Anybody else in this case?

LHI recruitment process
Hi everyone,
I have a LHI DLR coming up and wondered if anybody knows much about the whole recruitment process?
I know about all the tests for which we get sent the practice material, however what else is this first day likely to involve? I have heard there might be an aviation specific technical test, is this true? Also is there an interview on the 1st day and if not when is this likely to be? I am assuming if you are successful there will be a sim assessment?
Any information anyone has about any of this would be much appreciated.
Regarding the discussion on the DLR process itself, I dont know if it is 'the best' in system in the world but it seems to have worked for LH for over 50 years! Im just going to approach it as positively as I can, work hard for it and hope for the best....still pretty nervous though :-S !

According to Ms Doris, after the DLR assesment would be the sim check but in not less than month.
Anyway, I am studying from the DLR data base because after using the Skytest for three days and I have found that it is much easier than the the DLR.
I have found that my numbers are not improving if I run the tests more than twice per day.
Anyway, I am really low in some of the tests

Hi Guys
I'm going to DLR for LH Italia on 13th October.
Other posts on here clearly state which tests we can expect from the DLR, i.e. no mathematics or physics. If the testing is just the other modules, which you can practice from the CBT they have sent, do you think there is any point to get the SkyTest software?
It seems this SkyTest software contains many "extra" tests. Or is it true to say we could expect different tests to those contained in the CBT? Does the SkyTest software contain "tricks"?
Also, (sorry to go on!) can somebody who has been shed any light on whether there is an interview or not? Is it just the computer testing or a lot more (i.e. ATPL test, personality test etc).
Cheers
