BA Connect (was City Express)
Does anyone have any 'up to date' info about the bacx interview process, especially interview format and sim check/profile etc??
Have searched pprune but the threads are quite old.
Anyone been thru recently willing to share an up to date insight on the process. Also are courses going on to RJ100/D8/EMB145?
Any help appreciated.

Just be yourself. It's more of a chat than a grilling. Know the differences between jets and TPs with regards to basic principles of flt and have an idea of how many bases and aircraft types we have.
Above all, enjoy it.

Hi,
The only thing I can add is know the responses you made on the app form to the essay/open ended questions. In my interview they wanted to explore them in a little more detail.
Also, a few questions as I remember on CRM, the importance of it in todays commercial environment, SOP's, your understanding of why airlines use them, if and when they can be deviated from etc.
As previously mentioned, know the details on the airline, such as A/C operated, bases, route structure, future plans etc.
Best of luck.

That is suprising from someone who infringes runways at Liverpool Cat 3C !
Mind you, hands up, my student did fly into Class A without a clearance on a solo cross country.

Anyone had recent BACX interviews??
Hi all, I relise this question had been asked before so dont start yelling at me for not searching first because I did and not many people answered. Has anyone recently had the BACX interview that wouldn't mind sharing their experience with the rest of us? I know I'll be sure to once I've had mine. Any advice on type of question asked etc would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi...had my interview few months ago....Pretty relax. Nothing technical. More of a "get to know you " type of questions. 2 on 1 interview with the Head of flight Crews and one admin person. Typical questions were askes...Why BACX? Why should we hire you?...What can you bring to the company that differentiates you from the rest of applicants?...etc, etc.

I agree, there is nothing in there that you will not know and not really a lot to prepare for. I got the impression they were looking at your personality a lot. Most of the topics have been covered in detail previously in this section, but they are pretty straight forward interview questions, why bacx, what can you offer, (remember your essay answers) etc
I can inderstand you wanting to prepare fully, but really nothing in there to be afraid of, and they can always tell when someone has come with pre-prepared answers!
They are really nice people and put you at ease. Good luck

Hiya
I didn’t get through mine.
Q's - would u go against SOP's.
My A =Only if the A/C safety would be compromised not to do so.
(don’t think they liked that, although given that ans by a BACXP pilot I know)
Q=When did u last make a critical decision, and what did u do to put it right
Q= I really struggled with this one. Clutching at straws on this one.
All other Q's were normal stuff and went ok
When I came out I felt it was 50/50
Nice experience, Enjoy it, They are nice people.
