closing date today, so tomorow it will be gone, or if not enuf applicants then date extended.
ba cancelled courses for lhr, offerd them lgw, obviousley didnt get enuf uptake for lgw so they do another recruitment campaign.
next month they will prob tell everyone who got job for lgw that they dont need them and offer them lhr.
thats the ba way

Err...Prehaps im going blind, but were did you see BA advertising for Cab Crew???
I have been looking on there web site for past few weeks...says they are not recruiting, nothing on aviationjobsearch neither.
I had been keeping my eyes open for there recruitment because i had been told that BA are gonna be recruiting for long haul.

An article is due to appear in jobscan in this weeks BA News for Cabin Crew. The advertisement states that the vacancies will be LHR based. Recruitment have contacted BASSA to advise us that this is a printing error and the vacancies are for Single fleet at LGW.

As cabin crew are leaving LGW as fast as they are being recruited, I would suggest recruitment will continue at a fair pace for a while.
Having said that, you have to ask yourselves why people are leaving after such a short time - some of them to EasyJet!!

ba jobs
The deadline for the Gatwick recruitment was the 15th, that is yesterday.
But keep checking the site from time to time as Ba does not put any advert on tv or radio that there's vacancy going!
Its ba.com/careers.

Training rooms can be abit hit and miss - as we're finding out this week. Some are boiling, some are freezing and the air con never seems to make much difference!
The canteen, again, a bit hit and miss but very well priced and they do a fab breakfast!

Hi Jarvis
Any re-deployed staff got course dates yet?

Unfortunately I don't have a course date either for LHR EF and my 4 colleagues also redeployed don't either. I'm really trying to figure out why but nothing makes any sense.
Jarvis do you have the Tel. number of BA Recruitment? I would like to call them up although i'm not expecting an answer but I need to try. Please PM me with the number. I really appreciate your help.
Patience with the waiting and hope you get your course date soon.

Still Waiting
Hello All.
I am not sure how the recruitment process is being done but had my interview beginning of April and still waiting for a start date.
Is there anyone else still waiting from April . If they are doing it month by month then at least it gives me some sort of guideline to go by.
Many thanks

For what it is worth there are only a few courses for August and September as BA require as many crews on line as is possible. The delays in course dates are also complex in that BA is waiting to confirm just what routes will be moved up from LGW in October and what the level of competition is expected in April 2008. It is expected that Delta, Continental to name but two carriers will commence East / West coast America routes. Ba will have to rationalise our US routes as it is likely that there will be lots of seats at very low prices and we may well pull out of a number of our services to the US (reduce daily frequencies).
None of this should impact on any of you that have been offered employment but may well mean you may not start until next year. As some of you will deduce there are also a num ber of internal staff waiting dates (100) this in itself will take up to 7 courses (they are already on the payrole and some of them are sitting at home)and we are running at about 2 a month presently (max number 16)

I also had my interview in April, it was the 2nd day they were interviewing for EF LHR and still haven't got a course date!! I called them and they said that for some reason I was accidentaly skipped over when they were calling people!!!! They're very sorry for the incovenience (understatement??) but there are no courses left and nothing they can do about it!!!!! How good is that???? So people interviewed much later than me are in training and I'm drowning in the holding pool!!!!!
I've now lost any optimism that there ever will be any more courses for LHR within the 12 months that our job offer is valid, so I guess it was all for nothing...
Any optimistic opinions are VERY welcome!!!
