got a date!
Hi guys!
Just got the call and got a date set up. When i asked what to expect they didn't really know as it was a different company that was handling in the tests. They just said to expect academic and pyscometric tests which will test your abilty to handle work loads and multi task under pressure!
Anyone any ideas on this so it doesn't become an expensive day to visit Luton Airport!
Cheers,
Kempus

Nothing for me
If this is day two of the ring around calls, and ive heard nothing, also applying logic that they call out alphabetically (im a B!), maybe its bad news. A letter to say nay, perhaps
Well, we'll see
Good luck to y'all that get in there though

Just got an email confirming time, directions etc, which says
"... the first stage of the recruitment process that will take place at Britannia Airways Flight Training Centre, Luton Airport. This will comprise academic and psychometric assessments."
Hopefully the tests won't be anything too difficult.
Ebee, I also sent mine in on the last day, and I was contacted today, so maybe they are going through the applications in the order they received them.

Hello,
Am going off to Luton for an interview next thursday, found out today and so have not received any details yet.
Would someone be kind enough to let me know by PM or posting here the basics of what they tell you in the e-mail, particularly how long the day will last. Would also like to confirm it is actually at the airport as need to find a hotel due to the early start.
What is everyone wearing? A suit?
Good luck to everyone and anyone who's going on thursday, see you there.

last minute.
Hey every1,
Through to Britannia Stage 1. Yay!! Came as a bit of a surprise as I mailed my app 5 hours too late and promptly received a “message delivery failed” e-mail back!? Anyway, I think the application form farce has already been covered….
Andrew G20 – A suit always goes down well. Won’t make a difference to aptitude scores, but will make you feel important and a bit of confidence never hurt. Details were a bit sparse from the phone call and the e-mail - just a start time and directions (Yes, it’s at the airport.)
I’ve read a lot of these posts and came across some numbers - 500 applicants to be reduced over 4 days? Does this sound right? That’s an awful lot of people to test per day even if it is in two sessions…. Very difficult to organise that many onto computer based aptitude testing in the time allowed – No computers, no hand-eye testing/multitasking? Just a thought…
Any comments/helpful hints gratefully received. I’m off to practice psychometric tests! If that’s possible….?

I don't think there are four selection days. At least, I was only offered the choice of Monday or Tuesday, so perhaps they've changed it to just 2 selection days, if the 200 to Luton thing is right, that would make it 50 people per session over 4 sessions.

There are definitely two sessions on thursday too as i was offered these when i was invited down. Does anyone know any more about the tests and if it is definitely only tests on this first session? As far as i've heard, they cull it down from 200 to 50 at this stage, based on the top 50 test results. It's a cut-throat world out there!!!!

I got a phone call from AA on Thursday afternoon, and they offered me either morning or afternoon, monday through to thursday. I guess there will be about 25 people per session, which seems a good number.
Im going wednesday afternoon,,, anyone else got that slot??

hey guys,
I got monday afternoon apparently, but no email as of yet....
Does the email just basically say the time, place and directions(map)? Ash has a point - parking info would be handy too...
I think I'll probably bring along anything that could be asked for, like logbooks or whatever, and maybe read a little about the company, although i'm not sure whether they'll ask us stuff about that at this stage....
