Hey IVA,

I reread the thread, nothing has changed much.

High blood pressure, failing the written or the SIM ride seems to be the three reasons for most unsuccessful interviews.

What aircraft are you current on or interviewing for?

BAA pilot interview also HGK late April
 

Hi IVA,

Just found out I will be going through the same process, ATP written, medical and sim ride.

Would appreciate your feedback/comments and suggestions upon your return.

In the meantime, could anyone tell me what reference material is best in order to prepare for the exam?

I am current on the Challenger 605

Many thanks...

The CAAC written is 100 questions, 70-80 are straight out of the FAA 121 ATP test, with a strong preference for airbus performance questions (but a few guys get Boeing). Your remainder are written by CAAC hacks , and frankly, you will read these questions and say "what the ,,,, are they asking me here???"

Send me your email (anyone) and I'll email you the study guide, which is current as of this months test.

If you are interviewing for a 605 slot, the correct answer to the question "Where would you prefer to live" would be a resounding "I want to live in Beijing most of all" (seriously, if you say "HK would be nice", you go to the bottom of the list))

For the sim ride, please repeat after me: I LOVE raw data, I LOVE raw data...

Rumor has it BAA is offering up better contracts in the next month or so.
Also, I agree with some of the others... Stay the F away from Wasinc.

Just curious.....whats wrong with wasinc?

I (and a few others) had a bad experience with them, Wasinc that is, in China, I'm sure some people are happy with them, but they left me high and dry on one of my contracts.
Just my experience.

WASINC?? Typical total BS kind of guys. I remember an old Chinese expression that seems most applicable here, "They would lie to your face, but they can't look you in the eye".... If you've been in the biz jet biz for long, you've seen a G550 load of these guys.

Avoid ALL contractors, email BAA directly!!!!
Avoid ALL contractors, email BAA directly!!!!

The new BAA contracts are in place, the boys have had a hangover for a few weeks now (they drunk dial me like clockwork)... and 3 guys who left BAA to go to HK last year have been back begging. If you know anyone at the US regionals, check the Air Wisconsin boards, they have a lot of bandwidth on BAA. BAA 850 guys are the highest paid by hour or month of any in the world.

FrankR is correct.. Contact BAA directly
Welcome to BAA Ltd.
Good luck

well, the BAA web site is not their best foot forward,,,

Try this if you like, it worked a few months back

I am type rated of CL850...

Do you have any information about how are the interviews?

Thanks !!

???
 

:uhoh:
a lot of ads about hiring falcon 900easy pilots....
i contact them and the answer is "sorry...do not need pilot at the moment!":sad:

How did your interview go ?

I have one coming up now too !!!
Can you give me any information on gouges, study material, technical, HR questions. Also what does the sim profile incorporate ?


I hope your interview was successful

Now you guys have me worried about WASINC. I have already applied for the contract through them. Is it something I should be worried about? Should I consider not interviewing because of them? This would be my first contract and first expat experience.

BAA is good
 

actually heard that they are one of the best of best in China, with all aspects

FWIW I spent four years under contract with them and I was happy. They aren't perfect but some of the guys there actually care in my opinion.
I would sign with them again given the right opportunity.

Hello. I travell next week to Hong kong for the interview with BAA. I go with WASINC. Is it so bad?
I am rated at CL850. Anybody knows how much time to start flying since they hire you?

Hi everyone, just saw an add at wasinc that BAS was hiring Non Rated Captains but didn't see anything on the BAA site (where only rated positions are available) can anyone comment on this please?! :ok:

I am type rated on the E190 flying for an airline, and was also wondering what the executive flying experience is like...duty and flight times, days away from home ...etc, etc...!!

Thanks for your replies..!!
