Question

Has anyone applied to Britannia after the WTC disaster and been interviewed?

I requested an application form for the Second Officer job after the disaster since I match their basic criteria (I've only recently got my IR). I received a form, promptly returned it and got a PFO letter back.

I would like to think that this is because they have frozen recruitment, however this is probably wishful thinking of me and they just don't like me! I can't see anything wrong with my application unless they are operating a higher TT or a 509-only requirement internally and not telling potential applicants about it? The form didn't have any of those difficult 'why do you want to join xxx airline'-type questions - they just wanted personal details and I've got a fairly sound background (good A levels, an engineering masters degree and solid work experience in a prior career both for a multinational and my own business), so I was a little surprised not to get a shot at an interview. I'm not one of those arrogant 'the world owes me a job' types, I just thought I stood a good chance of at least getting an interview with BY because of their Second Officer scheme. Maybe they didn't like my ugly mug .

Anyone else got any info on this? Good luck to those of you in the pool - I'll be trying again once I've increased my hours tally a little.

cheers!
