The interview style is very similar to the format of the British Airways interview which has been well discussed on pprune. Check out those threads and you can not go far wrong. Do not waste your time with refreshing yourself on technical subjects.... there aren't any.
If you have some good examples of some the senarios, then the interview will be breeze.
I had the good news within hours of the interview but I know that some people are waiting almost two weeks to get a response either way.
Good luck with it.

ThomsonFly 737-300 Sim
To anyone who has been through the process lately,
Could anyone let me know whether the sim in Luton has the old style analogue HSI and AI or can I expect to see some CRT screens in there?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Shorcut

Thanks, I had already planned to be practicing on FS2004.
However, before I download the appropriate model and panel, I need to know whether I should be practicing with an old flight deck with analogue AI and HSI instruments, or the CRT displays. Can anyone help?
Cheers,

Despite what it says on the website, guys with as little as 300hrs are being considered for the 737. Like everyone else, they're looking for experienced pilots but there aren't many left!
Go for it!

Hi,
Firstly, congratulations to all who have passed stage one. I have a day one assessment fast approaching and have found lots of good info, but would welcome any PM's on the the tests or advice about the selection!!
I have got a lot of information about the second stage i'd be willing to trade.
Best wishes to all,
Frozenpilot

Hi mate:
I think it will be at Alteon, only the security guard will be at the Thomsonfly Training Center at 06:15 L.T.
The medical check for being hired is on the second stage or after they offer you a job....
Regards.

Take note of the address for the interviews in Stage 2 - as I found out too late, it isn't the same building as Stage 1. Caused a bit of panic it did.
I found out that I'd fluffed the sim two days later (postmarked the day of the sim). It was my first interview and the staff at Stage 1 advised me not to waste my money hiring a sim to practice - bad advice. I largely failed due to the 'rabbit in the headlights' effect of being in a strange environment. The interviews I found very friendly and no great shakes - but I'd done enough research that I thought I'd be unlucky to catch a question that stumped me - that breeds relaxation and confidence and the info is certainly out there.
Good luck to those that were successful, don't lose heart to those that weren't. I've gone on to get in to BA, so it worked out better than I could have hoped.

A fellow pilot, who has been selected for a Thomsonfly selection day, said the Thompson HR department prefer people to drop off the application rather than send it in. Does anyone know more about this? Has anyone who sent an application in been called for selection?

Yup, me! I sent in the form as requested by HR and received an email from them about a week later. I can't imagine why they would want everybody to pop in, considering they must be processing 100+ applications at the moment!
