Hi BF, I hope your assessment prep (or actual assessment now being august...) is going/went well. Any chance you could share how long it took for them to invite you after you applied? Thanks!

Hi folks, is the german language required? 'Cause the advertisment says english is enough but I have heard pretty rumours about people not getting called due to german level 0 .

I have a friend who went for the interview several months ago. Indeed, they advertise that German is no longer a requirement. However, that is not the case in reality. Conversational fluency required to progress past the first stage, apparently.

Hello cockpit fellas!

Ich habe auch asssessment with Aerologic in Oct.
After reading this thread i specifically asked about the german language requirement and the reply was the following;
"the daily business (flying, documentation,…) is of course in English. Nevertheless, it is always good to have German language skills for small talk within the team.
For the assessment it is required to be able to do the small talk parts in German.
Some tasks will also be in German, some can be done in English, depending on the task."
I hope this clarifies although i find it vague. I don't get what interest would they have to pay accomodation and dinner for people that are not suitable from the begining.

I tried to PM BearingFail but aparently i am not allowed. Could you please PM me with some details of the assessment. Did you used SkyTest to prepair? What sections were relevant.
Best of luck to y'all, hear you on 121.5 )))

Not from me,

I cancelled my assessment, they were not able to confirm the level of German needed and and all the intel i've gathered was pointing to a high command of the german language, which i lack.
just said pass

goodluck to the others

Yeah, not impressive to know such a carrier lacks the ability to speak English, whether professionally or small talk. Restricted to the point of retarded. Ordnung muss sein. Weiter gehen. Schnell.

Well, then learn German, for crying out loud! French airlines require French, Dutch require Dutch and Spanish airlines require Spanish! Big deal!! They don’t owe you anything, if you are so desperate to join then put in some effort!

Does anyone know how long you typically stay an SO before you get to upgrade to FO ?

I believe if you join with 200 hours they give you a type rating and you're cruise relief pilot until about 1500 hours. Then a few more sims and they might let you land the thing.
It's probably a gentler way into the right seat than the usual cadet route.

Interesting. I got an assessment soon and am weighing my options. I also got 2 other assessments ongoing with national airlines as an FO, but they move at a glacial pace compared to what aerologic seems to be doing. I dont have any CS25 experience, but close to 1000 hours. I'd hate being stuck as a cruise relief pilot for years, but a 777 rating is quite enticing (plus the QoL of flying boxes Longhaul). But the low pay also has not escaped me... Any advice? :-)

Guys I believe the FO course starts about a year after being on the line as SO.
