I don't think anyone outside the people who are in control of the recruitment really know what the true picture is.
I do think BA care where you are from, experience, attitude etc, surely that is why that such an exhaustive and thorough process?
If I am being cynical, I think I failed because I have been a Captain for a few years now and perhaps they may think I could be a problem. Especially considering how many co-pilots I am competeing with.
I failed the assessment day, no idea why. I will have to assume I am total sh@t.
Not bitter, just gutted.
For all of you that have been offered a job, well done.
