TFLY day 1
 

Attended on the 5th of this month. Does anybody know why we didn't do group exercises? With the excitment and all it occured to me only afterwards that we'd skiped this part. If it should be done at stage 2 it sounds like a lot to do in one day if we already have 2 interviews and a sim check, not impossible though I guess.

I could be wrong but if the company is short of crew (and it is the summer), it is quite possible that they have decided to use the guys for flying duties rather than attending a social gathering ;)

Usually a group session has 3 observers because each one monitors a couple individuals.

Did Stage 1 on the 29th June and was told at the beginning that due to the huge numbers of pilots they needed they had decided to drop the group exercise to try and speed things up.

edited cos i is thick and got the date wrong.....

Nearly a year then so have you heard anything yet Monkey ? ;)

I attended on 30th June and we were told the same thing. They need to see as many as possible so they have dropped the group exercise.

Smart ar*e! :}

:ok:There is always one smart arse!! :ok: :ok:

Hello Guys.
I`m curious!

What does the abbreviation TFLY stand for?
Thomson Fly, or is there a company called TFLY;)?
How many hours do you guys have and what are the requirement in TFLY?

Good luck to you all!

Group Exercises
 

Does anyone have a view that these Group Exercises actually achieve anything at the end of the day.

d71146 - I found that taking part in the group exercise part of my selection day greatly increased my chances of getting the job.

They did the same thing a few years ago during a recruitment boom.

They tend to lose the majority of applicants at the first (maths/English) stage, so rather than put everyone through the group exercises they whittle the numbers down first. I think you'll find that if you pass the abbreviated first stage, you will be invited back for a short second stage, which is purely group exercises.

There is normally only one pilot observer on the group exercises, the rest are from HR, so it's not much of a drain on the line.

Thank you all for the replies. They told us day 2 would be interviews and simulator "ride". So I guess that's the group exercises out of the window. It's one less chance to cock-up! Good luck to all of us.

FBOZH, I too was there on the 5th, I was the scouser sat in the front on the left!

Anyways, my cousin went 1 week earlier and had been given teh profiles for the sim at assessment day 1........did I miss them being given out on our day 1???:confused:

Cheers....and good luck

Andy....check your PMs

Hi Northern highflyer I also attended on the 30th June, have you had a reply yet? I received an email on Friday inviting me to stage two. I'm hoping to attend on the 9th August.

I have been invited to stage two and will go for one of the August dates. I might see you there, not sure which one was you on the day. I still can't quite believe it. I only checked my email this morning as I was expecting the 2 to 3 week wait before hearing anything. :ok:

Good luck to the rest and I hope it's good news.

Northern highflyer

I'm the well tanned chap lol. I too was surprised to hear as quickly as I did. I'm booked on for the 10 Aug at LTN, if you are there say hi if not then the best of luck to you too.

Anyone from the 5th July day 1 heard anything yet?

HFS:confused:

not yet. Still waiting. No news good news?

I was told that if you were successful TFLY informed you by email within 7 days, if not the thanks but no thanks letter arrives after 10 days ish.

HFS:confused:

Ramjett

All the dates were full so I have to wait for the next set of bookings to come out :{ . Good luck with it and let us know how you get on.

check your pm's

Anyone from Day1 on the 5th JUly heard anything yet?

HFS:ok:

nope not heard anything from 5th yet, still waiting!

And the waiting is killing me !:yuk:

Also waiting
 

Toppledgyro,

I was also there on the 13th and still waiting for the yey or ney. I'm sure they said four days but they do seem to be incredibly busy at the moment. The first couple of days i was perfectly relaxed thinking i had done everything i could but now the tension is unbearable.

fingers crossed, touching wood and looking for pennies on the street. :ok:

Still Waiting
 

I was also there on the 5th July. Still no news.

Nothing yet either? :confused: Was told by someone who had spoke to TFLY that they were hoping to let people know today (FRI)

HFS

Anyone heard anything yet?

HFS:confused:

5th July
 

I've still not heard anything! I did stage 1 on 5th July! Anyone else heard that attended on the 5th?

ADRH

I think it took a week to find out my results for day one

No still nothing either from the 5th July????

Cant take that long to post a :mad: thanks but no thanks letter can it???

HFS:ok:

Hi guys,
My understanding is that TFly are currently worried that they overestimated their pilot needs and so people are currently being pooled after stage 1. As and when they decide that they do/don't need any more, they'll decide whether to run any more stage 2s. I imagine the sme goes for anyone who's done stage 2 and hasn't heard anything.
Irritating for everyone!

Hi everybody,
Well, they already said in the invitation that they were recruiting for a pool. I agree that it seems strange that people from July 5th haven't heard anything yet.
kd 2473, is your understanding based on any reliable information?

Good luck to everybody!

Just bringing the thread back to the top.

Still heard nothing from the 5th July anyone else?

HFS:confused:

5th July
 

Nope! Nothing here yet.

Nothing heard from the 7th either

Yes, understanding based on reliable information.... At that time at any rate (2 weeks ago), but who knows, things change so quickly!

Yet the advert still appears on the website! Still awaiting my rejection letter for the 5th....:ugh:

well Marvo if you haven't heard anything yet it could be good news, I hope for you anyway. I attended on the 5th also and got an email on tuesday saying thanks but no thanks. Good luck to all those with no news as yet!

Also got the PFO email.

Always next year!!

HFS:ok:

I got the PFO too. Frustrating, when I felt I did so well on the maths! I believe we can find out where we went wrong. Any ideas whether you have to request that or they send it automatically?

Good luck to all those that got through anyhow.
