Hi ,anyone heard anything today yet?
I'm still waiting and hoping but i have come to the conclusion that those people who have got through to phase three have, by now, already found out.

The reply was by email and all it said was what the day involved and what to bring and where to go. It said nothing extra about the course. I recieved my email about 2 and a half weeks after I sent the phase 2 questions. Good luck to everyone and espcially people who are now on phase 3. Im starting to feel slighly nervous

Anyone heard any more information today?
I think its a bit unfair not letting everyone know at the same time, I think the people who are through must have been informed by know , would just be nice if FTE would email the people who haven't got through just so their minds could be put at rest.

Hi guys, another post from me lol
I was just wondering, from those guys that have got through, what academic qualifications do you all have? Gcses , A levels or Degrees, could you give examples of grades and subjects etc, just so i can compare as to what those people have who have suceeded into phase 3.
Good luck to you all.

Something terrible just happened to me.
After two weeks I found an email from BACitiExpress/FTE in my Junk Mail folder!!!
I need say no more...
This is the final nightmare after 3 consecutive years of "bad luck" ...

BA Citiexpress
Hi all,
I've also got through to my BA CitiExpress 3rd stage...sounds like everyone who has applied for this scheme has!
I'm off to Manchester on 24th February 2006, anyone else going?
I'm having concerns about it though, as it seems ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops to get on their training scheme...cheeky or what?!

Hoops you say?
The number of places they're offering will be far fewer than the number of people applying, as you know. I'm surprised they don't introduce more 'hoops' to weedle out those who lack the motivation.
This process is as nothing in comparison to some I have had in my non-aviation career. One company wanted me to write a complete marketing plan for one of their products even before seeing me for interview. Now that's cheeky!
Edit to say: congratulations on getting through to phase 3... where are my manners

Oh my God!! Are the maths right...
Employment is not guaranteed.. it never is! 
Firstly successful completion of the flying course is required, and also recomendation from the training organisation. (For example, if a candidate has passed the course but had a bad reputation for attitude or aptitude throughout the course the airline will not consider him/her.)
It also very much depends on the operational requirements at the time, with smaller regional airlines the movement of pilots throughout the ranks is very big so there are high chances of employment. There may even be a sim check ride too between completing the course and begining the Type rating. If a 'good' candidate does not find a position immediately they will normally be placed in a holding pool and then employed when a position becomes vacant.
Hope this answers your question!!
I have a question perhaps someone can help me with?
After completion of the course ATPL (f) the JOC, MCC and upset training will be paid for by BA CONNECT, however can anyone confirm that the type rating, completed in Paris will be paid for in an agreement that the successful applicants will be bonded for 2 years will be required to pay back the type rating costing approximately £20k?
This then totals loan amounts of closer to £85k!!
