Re: assessment and interview
Hey all,
Does anyone have the assessment and interview booked for Oct 5th from 8.30am onwards?
Also I'm going to be travelling from Yorkshire, does anyone know how long these assessments and interview days last, as I need to book my train journey back and don't know what time to book it for.
Thanks

Cabin Crew - gatwick
Hello, have just joined PPR and wondered if anyone can please tell me if BA are recruiting at Gatwick? and if so, is it a different company now under the BA umbrella? I have been out of the airline industry for some time...and would love to return. Any ideas what the chances are for a mature female? (even though I don't look it I'm told...)
I would appreciate any advice/tips...
Many thanks.

Those ladies would be 55+ as that was the retirement age until just recently. Nice to see them back flying. Were they CSDs previously? It would be an adjustment for them to fly as main crew but it's better than sitting at home. I can remember doing CSD retirement trips thinking 55 is too young, what will I do when I'M 55? Luckily, they're taking applications from those up to 62 now, so I've still got a few years left in me.

I think that's brilliant. A friend of mine (who left BA some years ago) now has an interview for the present temp posts at LHR. She is in her early fifties too and did think that she might be the only 'more mature' lady around. Great to hear from AMS that his course has three on board; after all, the world is made up of young AND old(er), not forgetting that, hopefully, we will all be there one day!! This will give her extra confidence going into the assessment. Many thanks.

Shoes!
Hi all - i got a question for the girlies. I'm trying to find shoes that fit the discription for flying but so far finding it really hard. I've constantly been popping into shoe shops (o what hard work
) but have only found 2 possiblities. There are some plain, sqaure toes in NEXT but they are just over 2.5" I have also seen some in Clarkes which are the correct hight, but the have a lined patten on the front.
Do you think either of these would be ok? Where do you get yours from?
Thanks x

Hi Chocco form the previous page! omigosh!
I too have an assesment booked for October 5th! 8.30 am. If you get this message- I hope you do, We should meet, travel in part way together and maybe have a coffee/Tea, help those pre- jitter nerves. It's always good to meet people. Well from what I read the assesment lasts till 12.30pm. So I would say, If your train leaves from Heathrow, book it for 1.30, that gives you an hour to get back as remember have to catch staff bus back. I am travelling to heathrow from the same tube line, where I live but at the other end of the line..lol
Gimme a shout or PM me. I have been to an airline interview a few times, virgin tho, so a bit different, but lets not even go into that right now, spk soon!

Do you think multi-lingual language skills will be considered as an assett in one's application?
If anyone is also being interviewed on the 2:nd of October at 12:30, let me know and perhaps we could meet in advance and encourage eachother!

Languages
The Letter, its for your own benefit if you have an extra or more languages but you don't get any extra point to someone who does not. With BA it does not matter where you have worked before or if you speak 10 languages, its how you sell yourself on the day and if they like what they see.

Hi Airhostessdream,
I'll be travelling up the day before and I'm going to be staying over at the Jury's Inn hotel, as it'll be impossible to travel down on the day and be there for 8.30.
If you want to meet up the day before then that's fine with me.
P.s I don't have a clue how to PM!!!

Just an update for those who applied for the Temp contract at BA.
There are 280 positions for the WW Temp 11 month contract and of that 220 positions are being filled internally so in effect they are only recruiting for 60 positions externally.
Good luck to all those who are or have applied.
(Ps. This bit a news comes straight from the head of Inflight services at BA)

disclosure form.
If you are applying for a disclosure form, make sure you put your FULL name on application.
Just had a call from BA, I have to re-apply for my disclosure form again.
Another £20 .. don't be silly like me
