KLM - Ready Entry
The old KLM thread has unfortunately been closed over some meaningless discussion so I hope to open a new more constructive one.
Is there any information what fleet to expect as a new joining ready entry FO at KLM at the moment? Their job offering just says "experienced pilot". No mention of long haul or short haul.
Any information what one may expect is highly appreciated.

Whatever they have open training slots for around your estimated starting date.
Latest additions to the seniority list have been a complete mix of FO Embraer Cityhopper, FO 737, FO A321N, SO 777/787 and SO A330. All those positions have the same basic pay, but obviously different schedules.
If you are lucky they may offer a choice because multiple training slots for different types are open, or you just get assigned one. You can bid for another fleet as soon as 6 months after joining I think though (it might be 12 months, not 100% sure).

Interview preparation
Anyone knows or has a website where I can prepare for the interview ?
Or at least the first part, online assessment ?
They are apparently using an AON Assessment.
Can someone help ?

Any other tips are welcome. Maybe which website more or less has the same AON online Assesment ?

I'm still awaiting mine...
I prepared AON for a different airline with PASS pilot assessments and it was very accurate.

If you apply as a non-Dutch speaker it is clearly described on the job advert. They expect you to learn A2 after joining and B1 is required for a possible captain upgrade.
If you apply as a Dutch speaker you will do the selections in Dutch I think. And good luck with passing any pilot selection in a foreign language you are not fluent in.

They closed the non-dutch vacancy a long time ago, so with the current vacancy they do require you B1 dutch level. If you applied to the non-dutch speaking vacancy in the past then indeed there is no requirement to speak dutch. However they offer classes to learn dutch and for the captain upgrade B1 dutch is required.

https://www.pilootselectietraining.nl/ I can recommend! I used it for my preparation for the entire assessment which was very accurate for a fair price.

I was called to undergo assessment last month. I had applied as non-Dutch speaker almost 1.5 years ago, Boeing fleet.
I passed the AON assessment and I am now invited to schedule an appointment in Amsterdam with AMC. Does anyone have any details about the AMC phase of the assessment? How many days will we be there and what will the assessment consist of.

It was this prep: https://pilotassessments.com/klm-roy...ot-assessment/
I passed the assessment, so I can highly recommend it and now doing the type rating.
Any questions, feel free to ask!
