I know they fılter out tıme wıth certaın aırlınes as they have to vaıldate all the hours whıch means often ıt ıs easıer to take low hours guys dırectly from flıght academy. For FOs they prefer tıme buılt ın Europe, good luck

I have a mollymawk test coming up.. Where can I practice and how hard is it compared to the DLR test?

Cheers

[Akrep]

the only way to practice is to buy the package from the molly website and use the 8 practice sessions you get.

compared to the DLR, mollymawk is in my opinion easier.

good luck with the test.

[B737Dude]

Did you do the test all in one sitting or split it up in two separate sittings? also thats the TOEFL test like?

Cheers

[aozc]

Dont worry. Do your best it should not be a problem. Its much more easier than the DLR. Do them both as quıckly as possible while they are still recruiting.

I have no experience of DLR or Mollymawk what kind of tests are they anything like the compass test...?

[B737Dude]

Just paid for the two mollymawk packages.. Doesn't give you alot of chances to practice! how many weeks is a reasonable time to prepare for the test?

Cheers

[aozc]

A few days is enough. The real test and the practice tests are pretty much the same.

What's the general consensus about having to pass these types of tests in order to get in with an airline? What happened to the good 'ole days of a one to one interview and a sim check? Too many to interview perhaps.........

Aozc your a ledge buddy! I owe you a drink(s) when I'm down in Antalya

Having seen the T+Cs , unfortunately it would appear the commuting option will make it tricky to have a life.

7 day block off, so in reality 5 at home after positioning and no leave at all in commuting. 60 days a year at home.

It would probably be a great job if you are Turkish or single.

FTG, that is the normal conception. It's very commuting unfriendly. If you can relocate it's a great place to work at. I don't know how the rosters will look at the new bases though.

[Kirks gusset]

The eastern bases are all to support the Anadolu Jet operations, expect 5 on 1 off and 4 sectors. The normal flight time for Captains is 1000 hrs/year and the 75% roster ( with 75% pay) will allow about 720 hrs a year. You cannot add scheduled days off to the start of the commuting period to increase it to 8 days or at the end. Normally the 4 legs start early and you will need to be back the day before the duty cycle. Approc 20 hrs week flight time ( about 20 sectors). To commute you will have to position first to a main base unless you are ESB based, some flights to Europe from there with other airlines.

What's the 75% roster pattern like? Is it offered to new DEC's?

[Kirks gusset]

? This is what the discussion is about ...DEC are only at Eastern bases and the 75% roster pattern can only be requested at these bases. Previous posts cover all the points..

[fade to grey]

That's not what I was told - DEC for ankara was on the cards.No mention of 75 % roster availability

[No_Speed_Restriction]

Can anyone who's been to an actual recent interview relay what was/is involved? What sim was used and what scenarios were given?

Thanks

[aozc]

fo or cpt?

DEC (non type rated)

Raw data, FD AP AT off.
One Ils at Hannover, GA, one NDB. Sometimes the NDB is first somtimes the ILS is.

Usually they do an engine failure after Vr just to see your handling of the aircraft. They expect very little procedural knowledge of the 737 unless rated but they want to see how you handle the aircraft. Pretty simple and straight forward.
On the 737: Just use aileron initially, and then level the yoke with rudders ("step on horn down") och don't let the attitude fall below 10 degrees and not above 15 deg initially, maintain rwy track and the rest should sort itself out
