i couldn't agree with prob30 more
you need to view the whole i/v process as an opportunity to sell yourself - its what you make it
if you are truly motivated to become a pilot: whether you've been on a jumpseat / taken flying lessons / worked at an airport, this will come across anyway
as purple haze said, many get thru with little of the above - it's all down to how you perform in the i/v - be strong, assertive and believe in yourself whatever they throw at you
the key things to remember are good/many examples of team working, operating under pressure, motivation &&&&&& interest in BA (you have to be clued up on the company to the finest details!!!). saying you've applied elsewhere simply shows dedication to a career as a pilot, so i wouldn't suggest labouring the point as they want people exclusively committed to BA
i am also a veteran of the BA i/v's and this info comes from several candid feedback responses
good luck to everyone out there - but never exclude the other options - BA is not the one and only
