That’s interesting, I wonder if British Airways classes them as a cadets or first officers.
Ie the benefit of getting on the future pilot program is that you get your training paid back and a free type rating, at the expense of a reduced salary for the first few years vs what a non FPP first officer (ie a direct entry pilot) would get paid.
But if they are paying for their type rating and not getting their training repaid, then in theory they should get a higher salary than a FPP cadet?
ETFlyer, I'm guessing they would want you to be at least in the top half or more likely the top third of all people that take that test. That wouldn't just be pilots, it would be for all industries that use the test. I think you have to pass all areas of assessment, but I suspect there would be a strong bias towards doing well in the Interview (and to a lesser extent the group exercises)
