CC live all over the world many as far as Aussie. The 90 minute rule is to weed out those that they may not wish to employ. The rule can be got around anyway by stating that you intent to move nearer the relevant airport.

No such luck yet... No calls for the external ones yet.... Im afraid it may be April for us after all, which is cutting it SERIOUSLY fine!!!!!

It may have already been muted but there will be an increase in LGW CC to cover the 13 A319 that will move there from LHR towards the end of March. These will be required to be crewed by other CC other than the SF group, so must amount to at least 200+.

Im confused, do you mean that they'll hire 200 more cc into the SF to cover these aircraft or that they'll have a whole new cc fleet down there apart from SF??? :confused::confused:

Tax for people commuting outside of UK
 

Hi there, when I eventually begin working for BA as CC on WW from LHR I will still remain a living in France but commuting to LHR when required. Does anyone know or have any experience with the tax side of things as I am sure other are or have been in a similar situation. Technically speaking I will not be staying in th UK overnight except maybe occasionally. I am sure I will still need to pay tax in France but will I automatically be taxed by the PAYE scheme in the UK also?? Also when down route down how do those days fall in relation to tax???Thanks very much for any response!!!x

I believe you pay tax in UK as your base is UK. When your contract ends you will be able to claim all the taxyou paid back.

I didn't know where to put this one, but BA management have mentioned that they are particularly monitoring the recruitment drive for applicants from GB Airways.

So all you GB people spread the word as a manager hinted that there has been little interest from GB crew to date.

You never know....it may stand you in good stead if the management are talking about it......

Best of luck to all those who have applied, and even more so to those who are waiting for courses.

Just wanted to give you this heads up.

Hey there Aussie Pilot,
Very sorry to hear about the outcome of your application - it is a shame as it seems like you really tried to research, prepare and get some tips. I suggest you try to find out the areas of weakness, and really work hard on that - and I'm sure you will make it next time.

Kind reagrds, and good luck to you.

Aussie_pilot, sorry to hear that. Have you thought about CSA with BA. They are recruiting right now and it give you something to do for the next year and a foot in the door.

Thanks everybody for cheering up, I think I'm gonna try with small airlines now (Thomascook, Thomson, First Choice, EasyJet and Ryanair) I've interviews and open days next month then next year maybe...

December 17:th is very soon! Only four weeks left!

External Hold Pool Eurofleet
 

Congratulations :D:D:DGalanjal and well done!
It's amazing they are now calling for FEB courses!!...I had my assessment on 25th May and hope to receive "THE CALL" at some stage.
What date in Feb did they offer you (1 or more than 1)?
:ok:

Hold Pool
 

Excellent news and rest assured that those remaining on the list will be contacted very, very soon.

Apparently there is going to be more external recruitment to Eurofleet in the New Year so you'll be joined by more newbies quite quickly.

Well done everyone.

EF
 

Ib16uk,
There are always rumours circulating re recruitment and courses etc..
Last few months some people have been saying there would not be anymore EF courses for external candidates! And look whats happening now! You just need to keep checking Ba website regularly at www.ba.com/careers for any new CC vacancies and register yrself too so that they keep you informed but don't rely on that only.
And well done you EF holding pool people for having kept your cool and be very patient and not listen to rumours or speculations and we could have made a regretable decision under those circumstances.

my interview was the 16th of May so I guess they are working through the list. expect you guys will hear soon! it has been such a long wait hasn't it? had almost given up hope

kikko it was just the one date they offered me, 4th of Feb.

Galanjal.... Congratulations!!!
 

Well done, the wait was worth it!!!

Good to see there are more courses in FEB...

All the best.

DAWN :)

Eurofleet
 

Helloib16uk,

Apparently so - well at least that is what has been stated on our intranet.

Yes, it is true that rumours abound however, only if/when you join the airline will you fully appreciate how/why rumours start, get the insider's perspective and see how things really work first hand.

Good luck!

Anyone had any calls this morning??
Praying for that call :)

Updates
 

Hello,

I'm still in hold pool for EF LHR, passed interview 17th May. Just saw that a few people are getting calls from BA so congrats to you all. Just wondering though, are these calls for LHR or LGW??

Many thanks and hope to see you in the air soon :)
