Thomas Cook - interview and Sim Assessment
 

Guys and girls,

I've heard recently that TC have sifted the CV pile and will be calling for interview those that haven't already received a rejection letter. Anyone else in this boat?

Does anyone out there have a clue as to the interview format and info on the sim assessment past or present (assuming we get that far!).

Cheers for now.

TC
 

Must be in the same boat as you as i still havent recieved this rejection email. But who knows?
Think its a chat with HR then 2 pilots some tech and perf A stuff and a tell us about you and why you want to work for us?
as for the sim not sure

Just got an Interview.
7,000 hours....most of it EMB145 LHS
Any idea about the tech /perf questions (the 145 has no performance :-)

My experience
 

Sent CV on Thursday of last week, was told pilot recruitment was done for the summer but sure, send it through and keep and eye on the website.

Phonecall Friday afternoon, 2:30, hey, in past 24 hours things have changed, new developments, can you come and see us on Monday in Manchester?

Interview in Manchester on Monday, went OK, my first for 4 years and first with an airline. With hindsight I would have done/said a few things different, but answered all technical questions .... ish ::bored: and was told 'excellent answer' on a couple of occasions with respect to CRM and why I got into aviation.

Phonecall 5pm Wednesday, please to say you were successful subject to a sim check in Luton.

Champagne is on ice until sim check done and contract signed.

Congrats on this, just wondering - what did they say to you on the pending TC/MYT merger and its likely effect?

They were unsure, not really clear to them either at this stage, either that or they weren't giving me a heads up but I didn't get that impression.

According to Wikipedia, MyTravel are getting rid of their 767's at the end of the summer which is strange as of the common TR, however their must be method to this or internet conjectre and after being on here for 3 years i wouldn't have a clue about that :ok:

I would take any Wikipedia entry with a big pinch of salt!:}

prob true.....tcx managment hate 767s. say they dont make any money....

Randomair,

I'm guessing you work for them, I may have sent you a PM asking for your advice in the past week.

You in a position to let me call you to pick your brain?
