Thomsonfly/Britannia
 

Does anyone have any interviewing tips at thomsonfly/Britannia. I have an interview set up in the middle of March. Thanks

?
 

Interview is in the second stage of assessment isn't it?

PM me

is that for captain or First officer?

Hi all

I am also going for interviews this month. I have 1,000Hrs TT and 700Hrs B737-300.

Could anyone give an idea of what I could expect for the FO's process. So far I have only been scheduled for a Psychometric Test (Luton) and Sim ride (Manchester).

I would assume the Psychometric test is about verbal, arithmetical and spatial.

Sim ride/s? How many and what do they throw at you? I assume this will be done on the 737-sim. I have not actually been told whether I am interviewing for the 737 or 757/767. Of course I am also assuming 737 again.


Cheers,

May I just interject and ask:

They still psychometric test you even when you already have flying experience?

Ta

TFly put great emphasis on the pysche test, I think they are looking for stable/intravert types (or invertibrate?) . Its worth it just to get probed by Gronwyn.

All the best.

On the move

I am a 737 driver and I have just been told that I am on the 757 sim. Isn't funny how both of us have been put on to different aircraft for the sim.

So lets help each other out!!!:cool:

Check your PMs... I have sent you a run down on the 737!!!

You reckon? It's pronounced 'Gronya', but spelt something like 'Grainee'.

PP

Grainne. She's Irish. Gronwyn sounds a bit too Welsh.

Would anybody have any contact details (email) for Grainne?

S.C.

psychometric tests for brittania/thomsonfly are the watson glazier type.

these things are ancient but they are still used by PARC, brittania, thomsonfly.

dont ask where you can get your hands on them. i cant help you there.
:ok:

Parc run the tests for Thomsonfly, that's why they are still used. Britannia doesn't use them any more because they don't exist any more.

PP

...and brittania has never existed.

I very much doubt it.
I think a little revision of some of that ATPL Human Performance, regarding personality factors is in order:
And shouldn't this be in the Interivew, Jobs & Sponsorship Forum?

I didn't make my point very clear. Most airlines want stable/extrovert. Britannia want s/intravert. I'm not a pyschologist but I think there is some truth in this if you know the pilots, they are a slightly different breed. Of course I can think of some exceptions, I was one for starters.

Not many airlines employ a pychologist purely for interviews like Brits so it must be important to them.

And my point was that Gron-whatever is so nice don't even bother about it, be yourself (perhaps a little less extrovert though).

Just an observation but most airlines like gold stripes, Brits and a few others like platinum. A little understated, perhaps a reflection on what the company looks for? Great company, go for it.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little but I am up for the second stage interviews and sim in a few weeks and would love a rundown on what to expect in the interviews. Along the lines of, are tech questions asked if your already type rated and the general format.

Many thanks

Ignore the introvert/extrovert bollox. After you fill out the 300 questions just be sure of one thing..... If you lied, you will get caught out.

The rest has been covered a million times. Do a search as the procedure hasnt changed in as many years.

Good luck.

MAX:cool:

Hi

I've been called up to attend day one, appllied way back in nov and the call has come a little out of the blue, are they recruiting to re-fill the hold pool?? any ideas which fleets? I currently have 1600 total with the majority on 737 (1400).

Cheers

I've been in the FO's holding pool for a few months now and have heard nothing as yet.
Heres hoping!! :)
