[VSFlightAttd]

Hi,


Can someone explain what SSP is? Its on the CCAT website. What are the qualifications needed to be selected for SSP by BA once on your training?

Thanks for replies

Why dont you email or call CCAT or Oxford. Theyll be able to tell you everything. I believe you have to get over 80 or 85% average for your ATPLs and get first time passes in the flying side.

Great news for the integrated schools - it means they can dangle a BA logo in front of all their potential students when they come to look round! - easy money for them!

From the Oxford Website:
