Bit of a ridiculous statement that Corsair.
What company in the world doesn't try and cherry pick applicants to best suit their own company? |
I was thinking the exact same thing. However it's always easier to delude yourself with fantasies of nepotism because it's much harder to look in the mirror and realise that there are maybe more qualified chaps about.

There will be more applicants than jobs.
The majority of applicants will be suitable. A few will screw up the sim/interview. A few will know someone in EI Quite a few will have gone to schools previously used by EI Some will have type ratings with experience Some will have type ratings with no experience End result: lots of suitable pilots for EI to choose from, whom EI can then mold into EI line pilots. There is no magic formula as to what makes the ideal EI pilot. They wont necessarily pick the guy/gal who has the most experience on type nor the guy who scored highest in exams.Aer Lingus is made up of an eclectic mix of cadets, ex-military, other airlines and self sponsored. If I can offer one piece of advice. With such a large field to pick from, you will have to make the interviewers remember you. You will have to stand out from the other 10 they interviewed that day. The best of luck to all - I still enjoy working there! Pat |
Sorry to dispel another myth, but I was recently told by a good friend at EI that an insider nod to HR was now frowned upon.

can't you simply call the number back from the 'missed calls' section of the phone. even if your phone has problems displaying the number it should still call it no?

Coffin, Background is 650 total, 400 on the bus at the moment.

what is the feo time
hi will i need to know what is the feo time please
|
I think FE time is Flight Examiner or Flight Engineer time, at least that's what I assumed when I filled out my application, since I didn't have either I left it blank.

"You will have to make the interviewers remember you from the other 10 they interview that day". If fortunate enough to be interviewed I will be attending in fancy dress:ok:

Hi all
Did anybody who sent their application by mail receive a confirmation that it had reached them? Or did anybody who sent it by mail get an interview? |
No & no
I wonder if it's worth the risk emailing them to see if they received it? :confused: |
By mail and not a dicky bird.
|
Its probably worth trying to call or email or re-apply via email. Mine couldn't have got lost, I posted it from Dublin airport...or could it! An Post..."We're not there yet, but we're getting there"!!
|
As I already posted here I mailed mine too, received nothing. I then emailed them asking them if they received it in their post, still nothing! So today I emailed the application, still yet to receive a reply!
I dunno...all a waste of time I feel. |
Posted mine pretty much the day the advert when live, and heard nothing so far. Personally I'm NOT waiting by the letterbox, phone or inbox - if I get an acknowledgement (let alone an interview), I'll be quite surprised.

Folks &
Coffin Corner I wonder if it's worth the risk emailing them to see if they received it? Good luck to all Burger81 |
AL have taken a similar approach to BA in their selection. Run a quick screen on those that tick the boxes and get them in quick.
A huge volume of applications has been received which has no doubt swamped the HR department. There is no dedicated HR department for Flight Operations so these people are taken from their day to day work in order to deal with the pilot recruitment. I heard through the grapevine that many have already gone through the selection process with offers issued. One thing I can say for certainty having had friends try to get hired in the past. AL are not good at communication. If you aren't selected for interview then quite possibly you will never hear from them. |
