AB - There are three boards, each has an active pilot on it, mine was an A330 guy.
My tips to interview sucess are think about what you say, don't BS. Thats it!
Seriously they will ask you questions beyond your knowledge eg how does a lightbulb work, you know the basics, stick to them, don't go any further. Know why you changed jobs 5 years ago and have a positive answer for any negative aspects of your CV, apart from that good luck - incidentally the bar at the hotel does nice sandwiches

Gosh don't I feel uncomfortable posting here again! I did a search this morning and my name came up a lot on this topic ![](http://www.avnet.co.uk/pprune/Public_html/forum/smile.gif)
Well chaps Aer Lingus themselves have sent me a letter to arrange my date (I have done so - 24th August subject to my managers good grace). Here is the info I got from the lovely Lady I spoke to:
Third stage starts on 12 Aug and goes on til end Aug. 6 People per session, each session lasts for one day. Takes place in PostHouse Hotel at the airport and includes free lunch.
Each day comprises Group Exercise, One Interview, Critical Thinking test, Pschological Profiling.
Doing the sums assuming one session per day no sessions at weekends we have about 12 days of testing = 72 candidates. I'll assume that they have already found people to go in August so we are looking at figures of about 1 in four from this stage. Scary![](http://www.avnet.co.uk/pprune/Public_html/forum/frown.gif)
Hope all goes well for Young'uns

Well Done Jonny-boy ![](http://www.avnet.co.uk/pprune/Public_html/forum/smile.gif)
I left my interview thinking Oh God what have I done![](http://www.avnet.co.uk/pprune/Public_html/forum/frown.gif)
PARC send you a letter first saying congrats etc. Do nothing at this stage.
AL recruitment then send you a letter telling you to get in touch to arrange a date.
Format for the third stage is from one of the ladies coducting it. The interview is with a pilot only apparently, There is a Psyc assessment which is pretty deep as you say
Critical Thinking is the same kind of thing as the BA cadet aptitude CT test. Buy a GMAT book with some examples to practise.

jniven -- *You* left the interview thinking what had you done? I left wondering if I had enough time to get home and buy the jobs edition of the Belfast Telegraph!
No seriously, the interview wasn't a disaster, but they never go as well as you want do they? Tripped up on a couple of questions![](http://www.avnet.co.uk/pprune/Public_html/forum/frown.gif)
Cheers for the info.
Now, where's that postman......

The 2nd interivew: 1 AL personnel, 2 pilots. Don't be surprised at how senior they are. The psych assessment is not that deep. Logical thinking - no BS in your answers. As far as I can tell, recruitment will be going on til next year at least (if not longer). Your level of education has no +ve/-ve factor in your suitability. As for training in Michigan? Have you looked at the facilities out there? It's not a bad thing let me tell you. Good luck to all anyway.
