The application is assessed soley on what sort of scenarios you give to answer the structured questions. Make sure you answer
all parts of the question . For example, if the question is 'Why do you want to work for BA and what do you feel you can contribute to it's success' don't just concentrate on the first part. Basically each answer you give is 'rated' from 1-4 (1 being best). You get a 1 if you answer all questions fully and provide detailed examples that relate to the question. I think that recruitment will probably be on-going for the forseeable future now so good luck for the next time!

Eurogatwick is a different contract to mainline, but to be honest as far as short-haul airlines go it isn't too bad. You will still have better conditions than airlines like bmi but not as good as short-haul LHR. My advice is if you can go 'on the list' for a LHR course, do it! If not, never mind, LGW Euro is still ok.
The main difference is:
LGW crew have one or 2 days off a month less than LHR short-haul.
You cannot transfer to LHR WW without going to LHR Eurofleet first and this alone can take years.
Perhaps most importantly the allowence/flight pay system is different and you can make £1,000+ a month more in allowences at LHR short-haul than you can at LGW. This is due to the different payment structure as well as there are few night-stops at LGW and many at LHR.
Apparently Eurogatwick and WW LGW will form a 'single fleet'. It was announced about 6 months ago and said it would likely happen in 18-24 months time. It would be on a non-mainline contract though. Hope that helps!
