I originally applied for DEP at BA in 1988 and didn't get through the final hurdle - I was extremely disappointed.
Due to a big change in company circumstances I applied again last year for BA and, I believe, failed the interview. Everything else went as well as, or better than, I could expect.
Apart from the initial disappointment at not being selected I have not lost any sleep over it since.
The interviewers were dreadful and inexperienced.
"Have you handed your notice in to your present employer yet?"
"Er, no, on the grounds I haven't passed this stage and the sim ride yet!"
The youngish 73 Captain from the regions who was doing the other interviews was also a gold medal winner in sarcasm and being patronising while checking our logbooks with me and a couple of RAF applicants.
I have many very able friends in BA but their selection procedures (or more importantly some of the people involved) are way off the mark.
Happy where I am.
