Hi, guys. I have been through the phone interview with Zenon and now have received an email with a link for a psychometric test by Cut-e. Has anyone else got that and has anyone else done the test already? It'd be interesting to know what to expect. Thank you in advance!

Champagne anyone...?
Year 1 FO - £63,500
Year 2 FO - £65,500
Year 3 SFO - £74,008
These figures are basic salary plus flying pay (fixed, non-variable 750hrs pa).
Occasional additional earnings available through overtime but no guarantee.
Finally, it isn’t a “B Scale” it’s just two extra rungs on the bottom of the existing seniority/pay ladder.

That’s great thanks a lot. I assume flight pay and allowances is around £1000 per month. Any idea how much overtime is??

Has anyone got through to the latter stages of the recruitment process with Zenon?
I believe the sim will be carried out in a 737. Does anyone know if it is similar to BA's fully manual 'LOE' style test?
And the interview with Virgin, does this sill include some technical questions, or is it assumed this has now been tested and its a more 'getting to know you' interview?

its such a shame Virgin has followed the rest with these absurd HR dominated processes !
so many good guys and girls not getting a chance because they haven’t said the correct thing

I've done the first 3 rounds with Zenon now. For the first round, don't worry at all. It will just be questions regarding your hours, current position and of course the question "why virgin?"
The second round consist of online testing, testing your english, maths and psychometric thinking. It's all based on "non-experience grading". So don't worry when you think you didn't do too well on a round, because there are a lot of tests where you can show your qualities. And, no one really knows what they look for in the tests.
The 3rd round is a competency based interview. Questions regarding how you would react. They have some questions where you have to explain certain situations during your career as 'outside of the box' and 'where did you go an extra mile'.
Hope this helps.
good luck

Thanks, first telephone interview booked for next week.
One has to wonder what VAA want. On the one hand, many years' experience flying the same aircraft, same routes and same destinations does not seem to interest them, but on the other hand they only want pilots who will have flown within the previous 6 months at the time of joining - (May this year). Since TCX went under at the end of September last year, that excludes us.

Reading the thread back to September it appears 2 new pay points have been introduced. Do all new recruits start on the bottom pay point? Is it possible to enter the pay scale at a different point depending on experience?
What is the criteria for promotion from First Officer to Senior First Officer?

Join with 3000+ hours you go onto the original Senior FO scale. Join with 1500-3000 hours you start on the FO scale, after 2 years you'll move onto SFO scale scale regardless of hours. Not sure what happens if you join with 2500, and reach 3000 within the first year.
