Just got this off of the BA website. Please, I'm just looking for some people to fill in the blanks, not question my motives, or my chances or suitability. (sorry for being a bit aggressive at the start fo the thread but my 160 posts on here have taught me to set the stall out, it just saves the thread decending into name calling by post 6 :ok:)
Some of us will already be aware of these requirements for many people working for BA/Virgin was the goal on day one of training. I'm also not ashamed to say I am one of those people.
The idea behind the tread was to compile a list of aircraft to aim for when job hunting. Beggars can't be chosers however and any paying job after shelling out the best part of 30k to 60k must be considered very welcome indeed.
The Shorthaul minimum requirements are a ATPL(F) with 750 hours recent experience on a turbojet/turboprop transport category aeroplane with a MTOM greater that 10 tonnes or an approved passenger seating configuration of not less than 20 passengers.
The Longhaul minimum requirements are a valid ATPL with a minimum of 2000 hrs total time with at least 1000 hrs on either Jet Transport with MTOM of 25 tonnes and greater, or a Multi Crew turboprop transport aircraft or Military equivalent with MTOM of greater than 50 tonnes.
My questions are as follows:
Are the limitations expressed above taken from any offical JAA/CAA document outlining differences in categories of aircraft? I'm thinking of Lasors or any similar document/regulations.
What would be the type of aircraft that would adhere to the minimum requirements for Shorthaul and Longhaul as defined above? I'm thinking the smallest permissable upwards. i.e compiling a list for shorthaul, Shorts 360, etc.
Also which aircraft are not compliant with the above? i.e. Beach King Air 90/200/350, Beech 1900, etc.
Thanks in advance.
