Good luck to those applying this year. Don't be afraid to try again this year if you got rejected last year. A surprising number of those at waterside last year were on successful on their third go.
The selection process is the easy bit! I am finding ground school very hard, with almost unendless facts to learn.
Also Ground school hits home how other airlines treat their cadets. Emirates cadets don't have to pay a penny, get paid a salary of over a thousand pounds per month in training, get 6 months ground school before they even start their atpl ground school, get a pay rise after they pass their atpl subjects, free business class travel and have a shiny 777 or a380 waiting for them at the end. If you are from the UAE, don't even think of applying to the FPP.
My words of advice are to learn every single fact about BA, say it's your dream to work for BA, engage in the group exercises, pass the computer games and you should do very well..
