Hi everyone,

I had my interview on 25th May and am also in the hold pool! Keeping my fingers crossed for a course date soon as I have also been offered a Service Co-ordinator role at Silverjet but decided to take my chances and wait for BA as they are definately my first choice.

Now that things are finally moving I am just hoping that there are courses after February 20th as I am on holiday until then and there is no way I can re-arrange it...

It would also be great to hear how everyone who has been on line for a couple of months are getting on, are your rosters/wages/SBY etc as expected?

Good luck to everyone and keep us posted!

Well done..

Well done WelcomeAboard!
I had mine on the 17th of May too but in the afternoon together with Dmed and I suppose we are going to be called very soon now. I was not expecting a call today to be honest and I was thinking its going to be Monday or Tuesday for a new date. Lets hope it is so or even tomorrow.

VS2BA, I think there's a possibility they might offer you the 11th or 18th Feb if they are carrying on like that. After waiting for that long, are you going to say no? You might have to wait another few months for new dates to come out or even none. The decision is yours but if I was you I would cancel the holidays even though if it means you lose money. I would not want to go through that wait again and being put back in that very cold sea...

Hi Londonphilou,

After reading the latest posts regarding course dates I am thinking the same but there is no way I can cancel the holiday unfortunately so if the 18th Feb is the last EFLHR course I will miss out

Hopefully there will be enough vacancies to fill courses until the end of Feb/early March and I will be okay...it would be awful to miss out now after waiting all this time...fingers crossed!!

is the last course on February th 18th?

Hello VS2BA

Why do you say: "If February 18th is the last course..."? "Has anybody mentioned that is gonna be the last course?" Well, if it is they still need to call people to fill the 11th and the 18th courses so thats good news for us swimmers...

Keep on swimming and hoping...!

Dmed,

I am hoping that there will be a few more courses after Feb 18th as if not I will be stuck in the hold pool forever...keeping optomistic though!

Nobody has mentioned anything about when the last course will be but I have a holiday booked so am keeping everything crossed that there are enough vacancies to fill courses until after I get back on Feb 20th!

Good luck everyone and keep us posted on dates and how you (not so) newbies are getting on so far!!!!

Hello all.

Interview was on the 17th May morning session. I'm sure that the call will come to those waiting. They called me early afternoon, so don't think that early morning is your only chance.

Hi WelcomeAboard,

Well done on getting the call!!

When Recruitment call does their number display on your mobile or does it appear as "Private Number"?

Cheers

Azzuri.

LGW Recruitment

Hi Everyone,

I've been offered a cabin crew assessment with BA LGW,
unfortunetely I am working on both dates offered and am
unable to swap my day off!!! I've emailed recruitment who
advised me to keep an eye on the website as new dates
will be released. Has anyone else been in the same situation?
I hope this doesnt effect my application!!!!

Any advise would be appreciated,

Davy

Assessment Dates..

Hi Davy Boy,
My advice to you is you need to log on may be a few times everyday and check out if there are new dates as when they finally come out, they might go very quickly before you even realise. If you are not getting any luck, you need to call them and not email. Good luck.

EF pool

There wont be any need for a miracle! Its just a slow process and everyone's turn will come sooner or later. Another batch next week and so on...there will be enough towels for everyone...Once we are dry and done, there's no way back...
