Maybe she did, but i cant remember!! Just in that limbo stage of wanting to know...the one where there is a compulsion to look at your email every five minutes!!

It's not the end of the world if you don't get it, and there are certainly no guarantees! Chins Up

Give it til about wednesday this week. They have been going through quite a bit recently. The less you think about it and the answer you are hoping for, the quicker the time will go. Carry on with your everyday lives and you'll have an email soon enough. There's nothing you can do now anyway, so what's the point in worrying?!?!?!

Good luck to everyone anyway, remember, it's not a competition.

Well, it is a competition of sorts isn't it? There isn't unlimited places on the scheme if I understand correctly?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

A message of solidarity for everyone who's waiting on this one. It's a dream job. Great plane, great cities and 'challenging' flying!!

I think it'll be a few more days or they would've sent out responses on Friday.

How many of us are there (18?)

What isn't 'proper' about easyJet etc? They don't shut their eyes and pretend you know... And it's still a job at the end of the day! And the planes are getting old, Embraer 195's would be lovely

I'm always stumped when people say Airbus Pilots arent 'proper' pilots because they don't actually fly the plane!

I'd be lying if I said I didnt feel slightly/extremely competitive about the whole assessment! You don't apply with the intent to fail! It's only human!

I think there are about 18-22 of us who got through to stage 3.

Wo Wo Wo!!

Don't go all defensive guys - I don't remember mentioning airbuses - You all brought that up!!!!!!!!

I was referring to the 6 degree glidescope at London city - that's good flying regardless of the aircraft. And, by the way, they're bringing in the new A18s which have been approved for the airport - that would be equally good flying.

Hope you're all ashamed of your freudian slips - one of my friends is an a320 f/o (and I don't hold it against him ).

See you at Pioneer House.

The A318's will be operated by BA Mainline not BA CityFlyer!

I know that! They will be using London City though. Apparently they're gonna take 32 passengers in an all club class setup to New York.

Good advice! What shape is the company in? Has the 'open skies' issue affected cityflyer in any way?

OpenSkies hasn't effected BACF and I don't think it will either - well not this early in the airlines life anyway.

makes you wonder what the execs are forecasting though. I suppose having the unique hub of london city is a plus - kinda corners the market a bit. I was more thinking of how the pilots in BA's subsidiary lines react to strike action in the mainline.

looking forward to next week

well lets get things clear here, BA Cityflyer are the only subsiduary, and we're not going on strike, GB and Logan are both Franchise, c and not for much longer either; they are seperate companies so BA mainline strike action won't affect them either. Openskies shouldn't affect us, totally different business model.

Student88, are you a BACF employee?
