Im gonna go way out on a limb here and guess the collection and drop off of staff bit is a mistake. Probably from an ad for operations staff or something!

A mate of mine who's a SFO on the A320 with a UK carrier had his interview on the monday, the sim check the next morning and was offered the position that afternoon. He has over 500 hours on type and is originally a DUB resident.

VFE.

The 3rd point is a typo. Just can get the staff these days....sheesh!

VFE, Any chance you could ask your mate what profile was involved in the sim check and interview??

Was sim check on Airbus sim?

If you check the top message of thi thread, you'll realise that the 3rd requirement wasnt actually there

It was on the Aer Lingus website, but I see it has been removed, guess it was just a typo. For clarity here it is in full:

Anybody been called for an interview? If so, what was your experience?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Happy New Year to everyone seeking their first job, we might just get our break :)

dlav

Thanks for the info. What's your experience? Airbus rated?
Good luck:ok:

Entry requirments?
 

Hi all,
Can anyone give me any more infromation on the aptitude and psychological tests at EI. I have not sat any type since school (12 years).
As a low hour ppl, I would love to continue training ,get type rated ect,
but It would be a shame to discover I have an I.Q like homer or that I am nuts(or both).
Tnks

Any Updates
 

Any updates for this thread, its gone very quite. Has anybody been called for interview and/or a check recently. The web site is still accepting applications.

The thread may have gone quiet but not the recruitment process..

I sent my details off a couple of weeks ago but nothing heard so far.

I take it all the applicants are rated on the 320?
Are there any non rated Pilots getting called for interviews ?


BR.

Sorry BR don't know.
Another question: Does anyone know
a) Time to Command
b) Time to transfer to the long haul fleet, and do you fly A320/330 when transferred.
Thanks.

For those who have been called in for interview...how much time from application to the call?

Thanx guys
G.D.S.

How many qualified applicants could there be that have a right to work in Ireland? :confused:

I would think quite a few, with passports from EU member states, thats roughly 27 different countries!

Roger :ouch:

I hear from early to mid April the non-rated applicants will begin to get assessments. This is just from one source close to recruitment so don't read into it too much.

Some recent Gecat SSTR applicants are also being screened at present.

LF

Hey Lee,

That info on the GECAT guys/gals is interesting. Is this from a good source??

Cheers

Thanks Gator,

Straight from the horses mouth then...

I'll sit tight for the time being and wait for that phone to ring!!!!

Cheers

some one mentioned time to cmd....a while says me as there is a huge raft of F/O's who have 7 plus yrs experience and these folk are in headlights for command so their vacant spots are now for grabs over time.

There'll be no quick commands....you'll do your time like everyone else.

People I know in EI who joined in 1991 still don't have commands. Of course, if a huge expansion is on the way then things can change rapidly.

over 15 years to cmd, mmm thats alot of "clear right's"! and walk arounds in the rain! Good luck to all applying.

Any info on time to 330?

I don't know who the Count knows in EI, but it sounds like they may a bit on the slow side! Commands for people I know have reached 1996-7.

FOs on the 330 have put off command cause they like the lifestyle on the 330and a command would mean a move back to the 320.

AFAIK there is no mixed fleet flying in EI.

Hi All.
Does some of you guys knows how many F/o Aer Lingus require at the moment and the salary expectations,roster and bases for new hired one?
Tks

Cheers

Hi.
In the same way than Manuelvi, anyone knows ?
And time transfert to A330 with significant Hours on the A320 (1500H). i'll appreciate to get a roster as well to know if we can commute with UK or France ? :ok:
thks

Is it realistic for a newbie Commercial pilot with 350hrs non rated to get a gig?

What is the Sim profile then?
Is it just basic handling, ILS, G/A, any single engine work, is Auto Pilot in or out, is Auto Thrust in or out, any minor emergencys/ ECAM drills?
What engines is used CMF56 or IAE V2500s?
Many Thanks.:ok:

BR.

This is the email i used too and worked fine.
Can it be that they closed the applications?
MV

Hi all

Just wondering what the current situation with aerlingus is? I see that they have started advertising for a DUB base on the website and are accepting applications with preference to type rated pilots-HOWEVER they have said on the website that they will acceot applications from applicants with a fATPL...My question is how likely is it that they will take low hour pilots straight out of an FTO with plus/minus 250 hours :ugh:

I heard they took an OAT APP grad with similar hours to yourself. Fingers crossed :ok:

Really? Thats great to hear-is that true though do you know>Would be great to hear any more opinions on the matter or similar job offers-to a multi IR fATPL pilot with low hours (250). Cheers Lorcan.

Hi Lorcan,
I heard it from the staff at OAT last week, great news if its true.

Hoping they will still be looking at similar people in the next few months when I finish at OAT :)

dlav

Do you know what the guys backround was? Irish? Hours? ANy contacts etc?

How many sectors per day?
How long to upgrade to 330 ??

Thanks so much :) :)

Aer Lingus new contracts
 

Hello all,

Just wondering if any AL flight crew can tell me what changes, if any, are to be made to pilots' terms and conditions?

Thanks in advance....

From the Irish Times, unknown source.

=========================================
Aer Lingus to hire 300 pilots and cabin crew
17/2/2007

Aer Lingus is planning to recruit more than 300
pilots and cabin crew this year to enable it expand its long-haul
services and open its first base outside the Republic.

All of the staff are being issued with new contracts, which are
the subject of a dispute with Siptu and other trade unions involved
with the airline.

The new contracts would mean staff would have reduced holiday
entitlements, while allowances and working hours would also be
altered.

Entry-level pay for cabin crew is €22,500, rising to about
€30,000 when allowances are added. About 14 cabin crew are
graduating from training each week.

The new staff are needed for Aer Lingus to expand its long-haul
services. The carrier will take delivery of two new A330 aircraft
for use on these routes in May and June. Aer Lingus is hoping that
a new open skies bilateral agreement between the European Union and
the United States will have been agreed by then to allow it open
new transatlantic routes.

If those talks fail, the airline will expand its services on
existing routes to New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Dubai.

Aer Lingus is also expected to establish a base in the UK to
provide flights between British airports and to continental Europe
from next January. It will take delivery of two A320 aircraft in
December for these services.

The move will increase Aer Lingus' staff numbers by about 8.6
per cent from its current level of about 3,500.

It already has about 1,000 cabin crew, the majority of whom are
represented by Impact, which also acts for its pilots.

Impact, which represents about 1,400 staff at Aer Lingus, is
currently in talks with the airline over the introduction of the
new contracts under the auspices of the Labour Relations Commission
(LRC).

Siptu, which acts for 1,800 Aer Lingus workers, and craft unions
this week issued the company with notice of their intention to take
industrial action by the end of February.

Aer Lingus introduced the new contracts for staff joining from
February 1st. It plans to issue the contracts to existing employees
on March 1st. It is understood that the airline will make renewed
efforts to resume talks with Siptu next week, possibly under the
umbrella of the LRC.

Siptu has so far refused to enter talks until the company
suspends plans to introduce the contracts.

"The ball is in their court; there's no more we can do," said
Michael Halpenny, Siptu's national industrial
secretary.

Aer Lingus Recruitment
 

Hi everybody,

don't blame me, if this topic already exists...couldn't find answers to some of my questions.

I am thinking about an application as an F/O with Aer Lingus and now looking for some detailed information about the selection process, interview, sim ride... for an Airbus rated and experienced pilot.

According to their website, they are still looking for F/O's. How long does it usually take to get an acknowledgement or even an interview date?

Well, thanks for any info or link and the best to all of you guys!!

greetings

Hi there
I've heard lately that they are interviewing Ryanair guys with experience right now, but have taken on two newbies with 250 hrs TT, fresh out of school, who have been charged E25K for the Type.
