The BA sim assessment is different from many carriers flight test in which there are usually four candidates to process in four hours so just fifty minutes each and a blur of faces for the assessor.Fine that’s what Ryan do,Emirates ,CX and works for them.
The BA is two candidates over Five and a half hours including brief,PowerPoint and four hours in the box.
This allows the assessor ,who are chosen for their interpersonal skills to get to know their charges and say to himself a number of questions before making recommendation to accept or reject.
Perhaps the only sim ride which exceeds BA’s scrutiny is Lufty.
My BA sim ride was nowhere near 4 hours in the box. It was about 45 mins pre-sim briefing, 2.5 hrs in the box and a chit chat over a coffee afterwards. Job offer the next day. Pretty much the same as at Ryanair.
Still, a good workout, a good challenge and utterly essential in any recruitment process I’d say.
