I'd be interested to hear about your total time for all those who have got an invite.

Just got the same email. Do you think this has gone out to all applicants or just those who've made it through the first sift?

This doesn't look like the actual invite yet, just a pre-invitation advisory message of some sort... The wording implies that they want anyone who can't make the dates to get in touch, maybe so they can be removed from the list for this round? Curious to see what happens next.

I received the same mail (3 times in a row ).I'm agree with babotika,I think it's just a way to make a pre selection before the real one , and then they'll just have to choose among the applicants able to make it

Assessment

Hi all,

Does anyone know roughly how the assessment day will look like?

What about the interview (personal and/or technical)
Maybe a questionnaire?
And what about the group exercise and sim check?

Thanks

I would assume that this is an automated email sent to everyone who applied.

Please be advised that those shortlisted will be invited to a one day Pilot Assessment Centre
Good luck!

It was:

Interview
Group Ex
Psycometric (?) testing

Then:

Sim

Only 2 got offered after 8 attending. Of course, things were different back then (!) in terms of the number of applications but however, similar to Mainline screening.

Expect approaching 4 figures in terms of amount of applications...

Good luck !

It's their head office. Don't forget to do your homework before the interview!

DEC expect the same but could have changed.

Thanks

Does anyone know if a non-type rated FO (1000hrs+ TT) will go on to the Cadet payscale for y1 or onto the normal payscale?

Are you joining as a cadet? If no, then i guess no re your question. Have you been offered a capt possition? No? Yes? If you think you are good enough to get DEC, then maybe this is not the place for you, unless u got "let go" recently. Come on chaps, this is one of the first proper companies that has entered the job pool (frenzy, mkt, strip jnt) that is aviation. The req's dont seem silly, you dont have to pay up front, they have planes on the way and they have a big brother. All the questions seem v petty up to now, either u make it or u dont. DEC's, if u r asking about wages, look on my boys, no A scale's any more, and B scales getting like the honest chap in westminster(rare).
Its a tough mkt out there, i wish every one the best, but you better work for it!
