BA application & referees
Hi everyone,
I am currently studying for the atpl and tonight I was looking at the BA application as I hope in a few years I will have enough experience to apply to them.
There is a part in the application which says, "Are you able to provide names and addresses of referees covering 5 years continuous work and academic history?"
I am a little concerned as I have never worked for the same employer for more than 5 years, have gaps in my employment history and I left school nearly 10 years ago.
Do BA request this for an airside pass or is it for a sort of character reference before they employ you?
If you don't provide this the application will not be taken further.
Would this mean I will have to stay with my current employer for another two and a half years in order to qualify?
Please help, many thanks.
