bonzaimy,
was that 'Mood' or 'Mod.'? which is short for modifications?
BTW, whats a TJT?

hey.. i got things to after office hours...
although there are invitations to do part time lecturing... see how lah..

hohoh..i always thought it spell MOD but when i checked back,it's MOOD..hell ya!!I still dont know what is the meaning of MOOD.What i know is just do a new things inside da aircraft like do a mood lighting for first class etc...

Dear Teddie,
May I get some information from you regarding the selection of the AA LAME programme? Thanks in advance.
1. How do you approach the mechanical aptitud test? How many people did they select from the test?
2. what are the next stages for the selection? Are they sort of the "HUNTING" for the right attitude or they ask some technical stuffs?

Besides, I would like to know about the "right attitude" that they are hunting for?

Congratulation Teddie!

wah...a guy with GOOD behave..i like it

It sounds sarcastic....... =.="

Congratulations teddy....

sorry for my belated reply, computer kenna virus.
1. they select 200 candidates for the exam, 125 candidates qualified for 1st interview. I've no tips for this round, i didn't read/ revise anything for preparetion. The test consists of 60 MCQs and 1 essay. Time given=1 hour. I settle the test in half an hour time, so no worries mate.
2. right attitude? erm... i'm wondering too. I keep on joking with the panels and be wise. Try to answer their question wisely. i turn the interview into an imformal 1 haha.... they keep on laughing.
thx mizie!

crapzzz,
With regards to the 'right attitude' rather than asking the interviewee(teddie), you better ask the interviewer instead as it is the interviewer that set the questions, standards and expectations...

hahaha! That is what you thought! We were the ones that had the last laugh...

Turning the interview into an informal one is just a camouflage to 'see' the real you... It is more than it meet the eyes... Call it 'sneaky'

But at the end of the day, we all had fun while accomplishing the objectives.. thats the culture here...

They say it's better late than never...

The thread topic should be spelt "Licenced" rather than "Licence".
Also the Bahasa Melayu translation for "L.A.M.E.( Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer )" would be "Jurutera Penyenggaraan Kapalterbang Berlesen".
Take note of the word "Berlesen" which is "Licenced"...

Ohh! So u are the interviewer! Should have noticed it earlier
So, do u mind answering my inquiries? 1.How should we, the candidates approach the mechanical aptitude test and may i noe what is the passing marks, and do the english essay plays an important role? 2.What is the right attitude that you, the interviewers are hunting for? thanks....

if u waiting 4 next year, what u going to do rite now? r u study elsewhere?

if u waiting 4 next year, what u going to do rite now? r u study elsewhere? just asking..

Currently studying A level.......

Well.. I was!
Sure.. no problemo.

1. The mechanical aptitude test is no different from an IQ test but it is made in such a way to see if you are mentally inclined towards 'mechanical' things. There is NO passing mark but the marks of the group are averaged and anything above average are considered eligible. We also looked at your school certs and your SPM results... before we finalised the list. And yes, the essay also carry weight in the sense that it shows your command of english and how structured you mind is in order to explain the process of, in this case, replacing a window pane.

2. The so call right attitude, kinda hard to put in words here, but from the moment you stepped in the room you are being watched and scrutinised. The way you dressed yourself up, greet, sit , talk and the approach in answering the questions will tell us who you really are. Your facial expression will also show how serious and honest you are with the answering... Its such an informal atmosphere that made you relaxed and show your true self.. teddie said we were laughing and making jokes...
Not many people are cut out to be an engineer, let alone an aircraft maintenance engineer. This is an entirely different ball game altogether and it takes one to know one, so in our guts we will know who are the right candidates. Having an excellent qualifications does NOT guarantee you a place.

I hope this satisfy your enquiry. Glad to be in the position to assist.

Thanks for the reply sir! But sir, i did not send in any school certs as i applied online by sending email to Mr Salleh Mohamed. So, is that a killing factor that makes me dropped out from the list? But i do send in my CV.

BTW sir, what do you all see in the school certs? Is it it must be all rounded? As in containing everything?

Not at all.
No, that is not the critical factor as we will looked at the certs during the interview session.

Nolah.. having the 'perfect' all rounded certs is not the criteria, as that is NOT what we're looking for. Although it helps us in establishing who or what you are. you will be called also if we're curious about you.. and we sensed that you may have the potential...

So, once we are above average means that we are eligible for the first interview? Is there anything that we can do about the test? i mean to prepare for it?
