Can one apply to BA as a DEP without an ATPL (i.e. holds CPL/IR/MCC with required hours on type.)
The main page on the BA site states:
Requirements
You will need:
An ATPL(F) with at least 1000 hours recent experience on a turbojet/turboprop transport category aeroplane with a MTOM greater than 10 tonnes or an approved passenger seating configuration of not less than 20 passengers.
OR
A current type rating on either the Airbus A320 series or Boeing 737, with an ATPL(F) and a minimum of 500 hours recent experience on type.
This leads me to believe that an ATPL is not a requirement.
However the questions before the application form ask:
Do you have a full JAA/CAA ATPL? (If you hold a non UK issued ATPL, you will be required to change the state of licence issue to the UK).
Answering 'No' to this question prevents you going any further.
Can anyone clarify?
Thanks
