BACX timescales
Anyone know what the situation is with BACX - they seem to be hiring by referral from approved schools but what are the lead times involved i.e. how long before you're called for selection after referral? How long after that for sim ride and how long are people being left in the hold pool?
Appreciate any info.

This is very much old ground. If you do a search in this section(third page in) you will find a posting 'Citiexpress Recruitment'with about 15 pages dedicated to them.
Or alternatively you can always pick up the phone and ring them, they are very nice people and will do their best to answer your questions. This is the preferred method as you get the truth rather than rumour!

It may only be a question, but more importantly it demonstrates someones work ethic. In this case someone would rather sit on their lazy arse and ask someone else, rather than look it up for themselves (which would be quicker)....and you English call us French lazy!

Sorry you feel this way, I was asking for a phone number just in case someone had already got this, Im more than happy to share any contacts I have, I think that was covered in your MCC or CRM whichever course you choose, its called communication, no matter how you look at it this is all it was, finding a solution to a problem is called using your innitiative.
This website and especially this page is to help wannabees out in there future profession, while I shall be civil to you I will endeavour to answer your questions:
1. I would not want you to complete my interview, I would not get to the sim ride with that attitude
2. If you managed to bluff your way to the sim ride your poor communication and CRM skills would blow my chance
Hope that helps
Many thanks to all else who replied
Good luck everyone

Carbon fibre, I will not get involved in this petty childish discussion anymore, except to say I was simply giving my opinion that in my book, i like to see people show some initiative. This is also true of interviewers. Who are you going to ask at FL350 over the atlantic when things go belly up! Who are you going to ask when your captain has a heart attack,perhaps you could post a mailing on this site.
There seems to be a trend running through this whole site of people who would rather ask a rumour web site a simple question than phone up an airline or do some simple research themselves. Perhaps it is a fault of the modern society that children like to be spoon fed information. It is hardly initiative, rather that of being lazy.
Finally I can tell you all about the interview and the sim check at bacx, which were sucessful. Good luck.
NB; Anyone got the number of Homebase, I need a Christmas tree!

Well at 350
You will not get involved ! and then you do. Call it childish and petty ! with an attitude like yours, chopping and changing your mind , YOU ST Paul, are the person i would not like to be with at FL350 when things go belly up.
Communication is the Key and everyone has so far tried to help and guide you to see this. But you are so blind to the point i wonder if you understand the concept of CRM MCC. Or is this the french why of teaching MCC ?
It is ALWAYS better to ask questions than sit there in ignorance, well done Carbonfibre. PPRUNE is here to ask questions and encourage everyone. YOU St paul encourage no one,

Wind your neck in. Youve made your point, and youve nothing left to prove, at all.
Please go and do something more productive with your time, you can start by pulling out your internet cable OR by understanding a little concept called CRM.
Three little letters is alot to take in, I know, but Im sure you'll cope.

I can only say again, that one of the things that makes this web site great is the majority of people that use it and the commitment to helping out there fellow aviators.
However it seems that you think we are all lazy when i suspect that most of us are in professional careers as it is and any little help no matter how small and saving time is appreciated.
This again is where CRM comes in, I am more than happy to show you videos of pilots who made mistakes and failed to "ASK" the 5 y's of which im sure your familar, all people onboard an aircraft are important in the decision making process, so asking would be vital. Im sure you will come back with the dire and immediate technical emergency.
I would look at another profession as your outbursts suggest you might be the one at FL350 with the heart attack hoping that someone like the people on this board who remain quite calm, follow there SOPs might decide to take the shortest route back to a hospital or think "nah" he deserved it.
Maybe and just maybe you could be a courteous fellow aviator and have provided the information that was originally asked for would have been far more productive, less frustrating and saved some web space.
It may be a rumour site as you put it, I was not asking for rumours it was a phone number? also some very nice people on here, you should take some time out to meet them
Good luck with your job

CRM doesn't excuse you from showing initiative. Well said StPaul. The rest of you would want to toughen up a little and use your heads some more or else your line training will be short.

"CRM doesn't excuse you from showing initiative"
I hasten to add initiative was in the asking also, rather while i was on here ask people who are more likely to know!! than go and trawl the yellow pages, but besides the point, I was pointing out that it was easier to say than condem for asking, seemed very weird to me. Im sure you would never ask for anything?
Also nothing to do with being tough either. Mighty mouse thanks for number but another non judgemental pruner pased it too me.
It was after all very easy to do
Good luck with the job hunt everyone
