Yes it is possible to save the completed sections and go back later, provided that you have not submitted the final page.
Performance exams are pre-jar. They are interested in Perf A which if you completed JAR ATPL exams is included.

Sorry but i a bit confused. The following is quoted on their website:
"For non-type rated applicants we require in excess of 1000 hours flying experience or successful completion of a CAA or JAA full-time integrated or part-time modular flying course, and have a minimum of 50 hours flying experience in the last 12 months."
from my understanding of this, you either have to complete a full time integrated or a part time modular. As these are the only two option, when would one need to satisfy the 1000 hr requirement?

Isn't it the right of an employer to state what they are looking for? I certainly would.
If you do not like it or do not fit the criteria - look elsewhere for a job. The market is a lot better than it was a couple of years ago - so BACX certainly is not the only chance that you will have.
My advice - don't pick fights that you cannot win!

Anyone know from past selection at what point they require proof of your flying hours? I'm just short of 50hrs but will be ok in about a months time. Do you take your logbook to interview or what?

Advert
I think it's more the reason why the conditions were there. Why would an integrated person with 50 hours in the last month be more competant than a modular with 700 hrs (not me by the way)
It seems a very strange request to me.
Also, the advert now says 1000 + hrs, or Integrated, or modular. So does that mean a PPL with 1000+ hours can apply (obviously not). Now the website has been re-hashed in a confusing and not very HR professional way way, it does not mean the policy has changed. They may still just take integrated guys/girls. It will be interesting to see if any modular people get a job with them.
An airline is a coroprate entity like any other and all sorts of behind closed door arrangements go on. Plus an old boys network. Plus all types of incentives. Who knows. It happens to with most other corporate industries and airline people I am sure are no different.

It will be interesting to see how many applications they receive and how quickly. Last time they ran a recruitment drive (at the start of the year I think), they had 1100 applications within the first week alone! If the quantity of applications has dropped, or it takes considerably longer to reach stupid levels, then I think it would be fair to assume this is a good indicator of how much healthier recruitment is at the moment.
BACX isn't the only regional likely to lose a considerable number of pilots at the end of the summer. Lot's of people ready to move on in a number of airlines as soon as the summer ends and the charters ramp up the recruitment ready for next year. Get busy with the CVs.

Glad to see that the threat of revolution has passed. The company seem very happy to take all sorts. My course was average 35 yrs old, 3000-1100 hrs, instructors, air taxiers, tug pilots and all modular. Its a great place to start a career and everyone is very friendly. I do believe that they are keen to get diversity as it makes a better team. Best of luck to you all.
In response to our friend Delbert on page 1, the conversation is just fine thanks and I am neither rich nor a kid! I am, however, extremely posh, I did go to public school and my Dad is very rich........ I think you are holding on a little too tight, unclench at once!

As many of you have had a dig about their initial policy of only recruiting integrated on their latest recruitement drive, i think someone in HR realised "oh no, someone may try to sue us, lets just add on modular and we won't run that risk"
Not realising thaT by adding the word "modular" into their criteria they have only made their selection criteria even more confusing!!!
Have their policy changed? I DON'T THINK SO!
Have they covered their Ar$e? YES!
