No I don't and it was not a requirement in their email :} ...

Good luck
 

Hope it pans out for you!

Is there any info on the bond please?

Their roadshow in São Paulo seem to be sucessfull. All room full more than 400 candidates.
I wonder to know what the pilots union will say about this. About convertion of brazilian licences to EASA.

I'd say most candidates were just curious about the T&C offered by TAP. Probably no more than 1/4 of all those 400 people would apply for the job.

Regarding conversion of licences to EASA, actually it's not a conversion. The licence would be validated by the Portuguese CAA and the pilot would have to convert (on his own) to a full EASA licence within 18 months otherwise will lose the job (which means sitting the 14 ATPL subjects and doing a Skill Test). Ryanair recently did a roadshow in Brazil and it was exactly the same thing.

How long after sending out your documents to TAP did you receive their invitation for assessment ? ... Still no news for me .. :rolleyes:

The thing is: Brazil has a very big Portuguese/Italian/German community and thus a lot of brazilians are descendants from europeans, so they also hold an EU Passport and are legally allowed to live and work in the EU. They basically need to convert their ICAO licences to an EASA one in order to be able to fly for european carriers.

Hello to everyone guys,
anyone know what the written test is about? any differences for non-type rated and type rated?
Any info about the psychological assessment?

Tao es un timo
 

Permítanme escribir en español. No soy piloto,no dominó el inglés a vuestro nivel pero se lo que esta pasando en TAO con el reclutamiento pues tengo información a través de conocidos que se han presentado. Tras superar varias fases del proceso, fueron convocados para simulador y entrevista técnica y final. A unos los convocaron a horas intempestivas de madrugada y nadie estaba allí,a otros los convocaron con 24 horas de antelación y son de España. Unos con notas altas en teórico,otros no tanto. Simulador,5 minutos, sin plan de vuelo,,sin vuelo,2 preguntas y fuera. Entrevista de 3 minutos de duración y les comunican que no son aptos. Como que no son aptos si con ese tipo de pruebas lo que no son aptos son ellos y sus pruebas. Una verdadera tomadura de pelo,un engaño. Con el coste económico que supone ir a Lisboa,estar allí y para nada. Unos incluso son licenciados universitarios en la carrera de aviación,perfectamente preparados. Que no diga TAO que no tiene pilotos, es mentira.Sin escrúpulos.Un trato denigrante hacia estas personas. Jugando con las personas y con su ilusión.

really mean company
 

Is really ashamed how this company,main Company, organizes and treats the candidate, they call with 24/48 hours notice, selection divided in 5-6 days not in sequence,"psycho" test divided in 3 days on a computer 20 years old, Pilots have to pay everything by themselves resulting in a selection costing around 1000 euro , and specially teasing foreigners since at the end they only hire Portugueses.
I accept that we all can fail a selection, but dear TAP your way to make selection is awful, start respect people.

If you are a non Portuguese guy, I strongly recommend you to don't go,I know the wish to fly for a Major growing company is big...but this is pure xxxxx

In the other hand...good luck to all that will try.

Ciertamente no se presenten
 

Ayer tuve conocimiento de las aventuras que tuvieron que pasar candidatos españoles.Se han tenido que desplazar varias ocasiones a Lisboa,los ordenadores no funcionaban y tuvieron que prolongar la estancia para repetir las pruebas al día siguiente,no se les atendió a la hora estipulada,avisados con 24 horas de antelación para simulador sin indicarles plan de vuelo. Uno de ellos había logrado una nota muy elevada en teórico y licenciado universitario en operaciones aéreas. Jóvenes todos con ilusiones forjadas que se las han echado a tierra. Con preparación elevada en simuladores que allí ni tocaron. Dos examinadores en el simulador,uno preguntaba,con mala audición,2 preguntas y se acabó la prueba. Debieron ver que al no enviarle plan de vuelo algo raro sucedía pero la juventud y la ilusión les cegaron y no pensaron más. Entrevista con 2 preguntas personales y 2 teóricas. 3 minutos de entrevista y fuera. Día siguiente reciben mail con resultado " unfit". Duración de todo el proceso, 3 meses, desde noviembre 2018. A uno de ellos me dicen que lo convocaron a simulador a las 5 a.m.hora portuguesa y allí no había nadie para recibir.
Me gustaría dirigirme al Ceo de la compañía. No dispongo de dirección mail. Si alguien la tiene por favor la facilite. Esto debería hacerse público en medios de prensa locales. Es lamentable. No pueden decir que andan buscando 300 pilotos,roadshow en Madrid y publicidad ,cuando después sucede esto. Si no cumplían el perfil deseado,no se les convoca desde el primer momento.
No se puede dar este trato a nadie. No se puede jugar con las personas,más siendo gente que quiere empezar y tirar les ilusión,méritos y dignidad por los suenos.
Gracias por permitir exponer esto que creo es del interés de muchos para saber a que atenerse

That’s how Portugal works. They have an expression “FOR ENGLISH TO SEE"

High demanding for F/O continues.

Last week they received one fo 2 unexpected 321NEO. They where from PRIMERA with on 180 cycles. These aircraft are added to the renewal fleet plan. TAP decided to remove the ACT’s placed on these aircraft.

The 320NEO LR are coming soon. They will fly from OPO/EWR/OPO, LIS/IAD/LIS , LIS/ TLV/LIS and to Natal in Brasil.

Some rumors, next year to Istambul.

Also 2 more 330 NEO where introduced to the fleet. Meanwhile Salvador da Baia in Brasil is the 2nd destination introducing this type. Now 3 330NEO. The actual 330-300 will phase-out. The A340 are starting the phase-out at the end of the year. The oldest 319 and 320 also 4Q2019

They removed the ATR72 from LIS/OPO/LIS, due to several operational problems. ATR72 is not certified for ILS CAT2 and RNAV GNSS. Porto weather, during winter has a lot of fogs and low ceilings .

Lisbon Airport the traffic ached their maximum capacity. that every day there are a lot of delays. So they decided to operate with A320 fleet between these 2 destinations. Sometimes they use the E190.

In future Lisbon will have a secondary airport, Montijo, on the other side of Tejo River. Actually it is a Portuguese Airforce Base.

Does someone know about the roster pattern at TAP ?

Thanks

Flexible Roster, comes out on the 15th of the previous month and you have 10 days OFF per month.

Some recent applicants received an email that all admissions are suspended. At moment there a lot of trains from last summer classrooms that didn’t start their training, in simulator or line training.
Company is facing difficulties to obtain simulators slots outside off Portugal.
Some of them are experienced on Airbus FBW.

There have been too many admissions in an uncontrollable way.

At same more F/O upgrading for Captains.

In summer A320NEO LR operation, to cross atlantic will start. OPO-EWR will the first route.

Any idea to when they will re start the process?

Was one of the ones who got the email.

Thanks!

Apparently after the summer

Where'd you get this info?

So basically no more recruitment this year? Where'd you get this info?
