Latest list showed most junior new LH commands will be at ~18yrs+
Wow - the balance is way out. Poor new joiners; never getting a chance at long-haul if that’s their thing.
Well I just made it into the 'Talent Pool', and am waiting to hear about a start date.
The reason why people pass the sim and assessment day is probably down to the amount of effort and practice put into preparation and how you perform on the day.
I did try to be a BA cadet about 14 years ago but didn't get very far.
It's who you have on the day. One man's prick is another man's pleasure. If I could be bothered with years of legal wrangling, I would scan a typed letter from Batman and Robin Acton Central Tube Station (circa late 80's) clearly stating that the hiring of married pilots, "in BA's opinion" should not happen.
So if you are reading this and were one of those married pilots who have been scratching their heads for the past twenty years as to why you did not get in, you now know why. (Old BA selectors scanning these forums (but most are out to graze these days) will be familiar with this letter and undoubtedly more like it from RA.)
Despite the explosion of equal employment rights in the past twenty years, nothing behind closed doors has changed.
You failed 14 years ago but passed now? I have former hold pool friends who were canned in the down-turn of 2008. Yet just two years later the very same people failed. With no down turn they would be year three line pilots.
In many ways "Iberia Regional" reminds me of Sky Sports’ Andy Gray and Richard Keys.
