Experience?

Wg100,

Can you tell us what your experience is please? Obviously you were non-tr'd, but what hours, int or modular etc?

Many thanks

VFE: Apology accepted. No worries! I understand it is extremely frustrating that you have worked for so long in the aviation industry and yet no airline has given you a break. I dont know why that is the case. My collegue that I worked with while flying traffic survey in the C172SP has over 2500 hours on the 172....and yet he is yet to have an interview with anyone...even though he has applied. Apparently they tell him he has "too much single VFR time and not enough multi IFR". However if you dont get the opportunity to fly multi engined planes there is nothing you can do.

Your instructor experience should be sought after. I have no idea why Aer Lingus is taking low houred people, but I expect they have taken type-rated individuals as well. Their recruiting does seen to be random. All I can say is hang in there. I pray you get an opportunity soon

Thumbs up

Thanks bro.

I am probably in the same boat as your collegue. Nothing much one can do about it unless the company one works for decides they want to get your no applied instrument restriction removed or even better - pay for you to get the multi instructor rating. 30 hours PIC is a lot and I decided some time back that I had put enough cash into this career and refuse point blank now on the grounds of maintaining my sanity to pay out anymore to try and get a leg up. What will be will be from now on....

VFE.

Has anyone who had the psychometric testing in the last two weeks heard anything about a SIM check yet?....

I had the 'call' for the cleaning job and am now a swimmer in the 'pool' ('pit'?). The selection day started with a talk from the Director of Cleaning on how we were lucky to be selected for interview as there were thousands of applicants for the cleaning jobs. Then we had a psychometric testing session, a group task followed by an interview with an HR bod and one of the cleaners. The final part was an interview with a psychiatrist which goes over your childhood etc and silly family questions e.g. what does your mother do for a living

I had the psychometric tests last week and had a call today for the sim.
Has anyone who has recently experienced the sim check got any tips or advice? Cheers

Got an interview this next week. Application was submitted last winter sometime (so long ago I forget when), and I got a call last Wednesday. Could someone who has gone through the process give some advice on type of questions asked (both technical and competency based) please

Thanks everyone!

Hi folks,

I have been called for psychometric tests and interview in Dublin next week following application before Christmas. To say I am in shock would be an understatement!

Can anyone recently through the process shed some light please, particularly as to whether there are many tech questions (I will need to do some serious revision)?

Thanks.

(For info, low hours, ex-OAA, absolutely no OAA involvement just sheer luck)

@FireFoxDown

Think the applications remain closed, my application was submitted by post in December last year and the call for this week very unexpected.

Plenty passed the interview and progressed to psychometric.

Quite a few did the sim check.

Very very few have been offered jobs. They continue to turn down really good candidates. Haven't a clue why.
