Relax! Thank you for assuring me. There is nothing to worry about then as I am sure there will be French, Swedish, Dutch, and Danish fellow students sitting next to me at OAA. For that I do not need a time consuming passport check at all, a "snapshot" takes just a sec
The OAA course is intense enough.
I was worried a bit because I was so enthusiastic about meeting foreign fellow students. Therefore I asked them to let themselves be heard on the forum. When there was no reply I just asked an ethical question. Maybe because BA selected me partly on the basis of my ethical justness.
PS: The fact that BA employs foreign pilots does not exclude BA from selecting non-UK applicants in the FPP. The BA-OAA programme itself "the snapshot" should comply with equal opportunity regulations. I'm sure there are several EU non-UK class members. I just like to have a bit of communication from their side on the forum.
