The 18 months and your out rule is very strange. I see the logic from BA's side but if someone passed selection and is then outside the 18 months why not pull them back in for a interview and quick sim check based on position within the pool? Must be so disappointing for the hold poolers
The 300 odd bmi pilots who got in without doing the selection process...... Well let's just say there is a very demanding 18 day conversion course with multiple exams and hours and hours of sim work then the LOE, LPC/OPC to do before you are really in. Be under no illusion that it is a free ride into BA. If you don't make the grade you will be out and I understand there have been some casualties. On a personal note I would hope that when recruitment does re open that consideration would be given to baby guys and girls.
