Everyone I talk to has been very tight-lipped, and they're not normally the types for tight-lippedness [sic]... if you get my meaning?
In other words: there's been very little happen yet.
VFE.

Wouldn't get too excited if your not TR'd on the bus. I was interviewed, sim checked and passed them all last year, was put into a hold pool, contacted them again when they opened the recruitment to see what was happening and just got told they are aware of all the profiles in the hold pool and would be considering all. Sounds to me like you either have to be rated on the bus or coming through CTC. Prob. more of the later, Sorry to be negative.

Has anyone heard anything at all about the interviewing process? I really find it quite strange that absolutley no one is posting anything with regard to the interview.
I have been told that 2 people have been invited for interview last week and guess what......these two people have very very good contacts within EI...quelle suprise!!!! So it seems its a who-you-know and not-what you-know sort of jobs for the boys set up. I'm just waiting to hear just when these guys have a sim as I'm sure it all just a formality and I'm willing to bet anything that these two candidates will get Dublin as a base. Why did I bother at all sending in my application??????????????

Interview details
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is ANYBODY out there who can help me with some details on what the interview format is. I would be most grateful if somebody can post something here or PM me with what is likely to come up in the interview.
It surprises me that there is a clear lack on this post regarding interview and selection details. Why is this? You see plenty being shared on different posts with other airlines. It would be nice if we can see the same here!
I have a friend of mine hoping to attend the selection. It has been years since I have been through the system. That's why I am pleading to the you guys. It would be amazing if somebody can respond or PM me!
I remember that the main interview was a very informal event. Two people, one pilot, one HR. Simple questions like: who are you, where are you from and things like that. Only aviation related questions had to do with CAT II/III minima. Comms failure and pilot incapacitation or some other simple scenario. That's it. All in all a very simple and informal event. Nice guys who aren't there to catch you out!
Let me know if things have changed or what my friend should concentrate on!
Look forward to any replies!!
Cheers,
GA

CTC Pool
A friend of mine who trained through CTC has advised me he has been told that Aer Lingus have a TR course starting in the next few months for some of the CTC pool, so looks like us NON CTC/Oxford integrated low houred guys don't get a look in again! 
If you are low houred non integrated and have been contacted by Aer lingus, please post on here and give us some hope

I know of two people:
One from FR with no more that 1.5 yrs on the 738 who did the interview, the tests (?) and the sim check. Not sure if he passed but I would imagine he did and that he is waiting to start the TR.
And the other, went to the interview about two weeks ago and has yet to hear/be called for further.
Both are well connected to EI after a lot of well directed ass kissing over their very short careers in aviation (well done to them
). However, I'm afraid they are the type of people who would never ever post anything here about their interview/sim checks with EI. They do however, read these posts and laugh to themselves at us poor souls! 
Burger81,
Neither from CTC or Oxford! They're from a one stop modular course.
