You're going to think 'picky old b....d' but if the 'gashness' of your post is any reflection of your performance in front of the BACX interview panel then you are doomed to failure. As far as I know this website has not yet formally adopted 'text-speak' as its primary form of written English. I don't think there was anything wrong with your reply to the question on SOPs - most company ops manuals give crew a get out to diverge from SOPs if aircraft safety is compromised.
An outfit like BACX is looking for a well turned-out, reasonably intelligent individual who is capable of conducting a coherent conversation and would probably coexist amicably with his/her colleagues - so cross the Ts and dot the Is. Don't be 'gash'.

Q's - would u go against SOP's.
"Only if we felt that following the SOP might endanger the crew or passengers"
Many interviewers will raise their eyebrows and try to persuade you to say otherwise, but stick to your guns. The above is the correct answer.
So R20, if you didn't get through, that wasn't the reason.

Just wondering how deep the holding pool is and how long people have been waiting for their start dates. I myself have been in for a month or so now, any info?

Hi all
I did the sim check on December the 1st. I spoke to HR a fortnight later and was told that there were " at least 30 " in the pool for all the fleets, and that they did not know whereabouts i was in the pool.
Regards

BA Connect Holding Pool
Hi all
Just thought I would throw my hat into the ring and try to get a rough idea of how many are in the BA Connect holding pool and when you got the notification letter that you had been successful and were being placed in the pool?
As for me, interviewed in February, simmed last week, letter notifying me I was in the holding pool received this week (I know I'm in for a long wait, just trying to make a very rough estimate as to how long we might all be waiting).
Cheers
P.S. FI, 650hrs tt

Hi
I also simmed on the Sunday, had a letter by Tuesday. However, a mate of mine who was also successful simmed on a sunday (month or so before me) and didn't get a letter until the following Monday. Guess it depends how busy they are and to be fair they do tell you that it can take upto two weeks before you hear.
Good luck.
