Thomas Cook (via IAGO) A320 Captain assessment
Dear Sirs (and Ladies :-))
Would anyone here be so kind as to provide me with some information on the assessment profile for Thomas Cook Balearics via IAGO? I have an upcoming assessment.
i'm given to understand that the format is something like;
1. Group interview (what do they ask?)
2. Personal interview (any info?)
3. Technical questionnaire (35 questions? Climb gradient questions/ Weather chart interpretation/Climb segments/Jet engine stall symptoms/static and/or pitot blocked effect?)
4. Sim check (EGKK. F/Ds on Takeoff. Track to a beacon. General handling. 360 degree turn at given rate of climb/descent? Engine failure, S/E ILS A/P, Go Around S/E, land. Take off and Eng fail at V1?)
Could anyone help me to confirm the above and/or help with any additional information please? :-)
I've heard that it may be an idea to study "Compass" training software(?). Thanks in advance! :-)
Best regards,
UFO-Flying-Airbus

I think you will find it is FD off take off. EGKK 26 I seem to recall with a simple departure SID to pick up the inbound radial towards DET. LAM5M seems to fit the ticket with the 220kt speed constrain. After than it was some turns with climbs etc at a given rate followed by radial tracking. The use terms like intercept the 320 radial inbound so take a moment to think before you start turning. It’s been 8 years now but what you put seems to be about right for the sim. Can’t really comment on the other stuff as it was more of a sim check and a chat when I did it. I think the engine failure was during the first Go around. All of it was manual flying. Hope that helps a bit. That was for a FO position though.

Hello,
Anyone done this in Gatwick recently? I'm going there later this month for the assessment
I have heard some of the technical questions might include climb segments definitions, holding speeds vs altitudes and climb gradient questions.
Any information would be most greatly appreciated. Thanks very much

Afternoon
Why go to TCAB when you can stay in the UK as a SFO earning more, with a pension, insured benefits, a good holiday allowance etc? And then there still the jump to command
Have a look at careers.thomascook.com Airbus (any, but 320 family or 330 preffered) for permenant positions, the first starting in Oct 18.
