BA actively recruiting now
British Airways are growing with the introduction of new aircraft including the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787.
As a result BA are actively recruiting now, offering vacancies on various shorthaul and longhaul fleet and are arranging opportunities to meet experienced pilots who are interested in finding out more about what they have to offer in a relaxed and informal setting.
The events are being run by the BA pilot recruitment team, and a small team of line pilots who are keen to meet you and to talk about life as a pilot there.
Venue and dates
The first recruitment roadshow is taking place at:
The Hilton London Gatwick (South Terminal) on the evening of 16th June and morning of 17th June.
There will be three presentations available, as well as an evening social event in the hotel bar.
The presentations are aimed at experienced pilots including those who hold type ratings on any of the aircraft BA currently operates or has on order.
They are not seeking attendees who are low-hour or trainee pilots, but if you fall into one of these categories they would be delighted to meet you at one of the other events they support including Pilot Careers Live, formerly the Flyer Professional Flight Training Exhibition.
Experienced pilot presentation times are as follows:
Afternoon: 4:30pm arrival for tea/coffee, with presentation and Q and A commencing at 5:00pm
Early Evening: 7:30pm arrival for tea/coffee, with presentation and Q and A commencing at 8:00pm
Evening: Drinks: 9:00pm - 11:00pm, casual drinks in Amy's Bar with pilot recruitment team and line pilots
Morning presentation on 17th (Details to follow).
The room sizes are limited and BA have loaded the avaiable number of tickets for the events on the Eventbrite website. You need to activate the link to register for your ticket.
If the event sells out BA will offer further dates and times in due course, as well as roadshows at other major airports in the UK.
