Jimbo,
I'll reply to your E-mail here as it is relevant and gives everyone the same info.
As I said before, the plan is to let you know within 10 working days. As has also been said above, now is an incredibly busy time for the recruitment team. Not only are degree results out and their holders going through the system but the DEP rate has been dramatically increased to satisfy an increase of 40-50 pilots by the end of this training year. Everyone is doing their best for 'Candidate Care' but it has to be appreciated that sometimes there are only just enough chefs.
All that having been said, there does, fairly often, arise the situation where a candidate goes to revue. It's something like this: some people are very clear cut. Pass or fail. Others are not and all the results from the selection process go up the chain for a 'higher' decision. It may be that one aspect was slightly borderline and it has to be considered against the candidates history, or how they've improved/worsened etc. This process obviously takes more time.
Now, I am not for one moment saying your case has gone to revue. The delay could (is probably) just down to the swamped system. Equally, revue does not mean failure. I don't know the statistics, but quite a few people get a 'yes' from the revue 'board'.
My advice would be to leave it until the end of next week (I know it seems like next year) and then give them another call just to see if any decisions have been made or when they are likely to be made. You could also ask whether your application has gone to revue and at least you'd know better that it was all going to take a bit longer.
Finally, don't forget that a lot of the people that do the revue stuff are pilots. I realise that the IT fraternity believe BA is there to provide computer related jobs, but it really is an airline and flying is what pilots are there to do.
Hope it explains the process a bit and helps calm those nerves a little.
Pontius
