TP checked out form 2550. Thx I will be there for the Nov. 15 16 interview. I had one other question. How does EK handle sick leave beyond the 5 days annually. Just wondering what happens if I break a bone or something. Need a simple surgery etc.. How do the pilots get paid or is it all handled through loss of license insurance. Thx

Generally you need a doctor note if calling in sick for more than 2 days. They're easy enough to get.

Long term sick is paid on full base pay for 6 months according to the HR manual. If you are able to work in the office doing little projects when on long term sick ( i.e. broken bone ) then you will likely be asked to do so.

TP Thx.
I thought I heard that at one of the info sessions. BUt there was a lot of info so I guess I got it mixed up. Thx for the clarification.

Anymore US info sessions coming up? Only see one posted for this weekend on the their website.

I received a email stating "We have placed your application in our Shortlist pool" Can someone who has recently been offered an interview tell me what this means?

What is the time frame from aplication submission to interview offer lately?

Shortlisted means that they will be contacting you for an interview. For me this past summer it was about 2 weeks before they emailed me. I've heard of shorter though.

can someone give me a general idea of how long it takes to hear from HR after your references have been received. And when you do hear (if all went well) what can you expect (ie. pool, class date, choice of class dates). How does it work?

Thanks
