I spoke to FTE this evening and they informed me that BACF have not got back to them with the names of people they would like to see in stage 4, so I don't understand how lonewolf has been informed?

I have no idea... I have an e-mail from BA CityFlyer in my inbox, sent to me last Thursday, informing me that I have been put through to phase 4 with details of when and where it will take place. Maybe it's because I already have a confirmed place on the October course at FTE? Your guess is as good as mine.

Congratulations Lonewolf when I looked at your history after your post I thought that was the case - please keep us updated. But I am surprised (not completely!) no one else from phase 3 interviews has heard anything yet. Maybe not all 18+ on PPrune?
Goodluck to all - patience is a virtue!

Hi there chaps,
I've been reading this post with interest I'm currently through to Phase 4 (got the e-mail last week). I'm up for interview tomorrow (29th July). To say the lest the ol' nerves are going bonkers!
Anyway, good luck to anyone else through to P4, and keep up the gossip!

Hello fellow applicants
Got the official rejection email, telephoned today & found out it was some of the written tests that let me down. Not surprised I only had 4 days to prepare & 12 years since maths class!
Happy to know the pilat & reasoning were good will definetly be applying for the next scheme...
Hope all your stage 4 interviews went well look forward to hearing what happened.
Goodluck Stu

Just had the call and I wasn't successful. I'm gutted, but it won't stop me achieving what I want eventually.
Congratulations to those who were successful and I'll see you in October!

I -just- missed the call (was in a meeting) and haven't been able to get in touch with Carmen from FTE since then...
Still, whilst I'm on tenter-hooks, best of luck to you all, and I'll let you know the outcome when I find out (as soon as I can call FTE tomorrow!).

Hey chaps,
Good news for me
they accepted me and I start at jerez on the 13th of October. Just about sufficent time to panic about getting the finance sorted! I've been on edge ever since I missed the call last wednesday and it's great to finally know, and even better to have been successful
Now I've got to go back to work and act normally for a few hours (well, as normally as I ever act). The grin might be a bit tell-tale though, can anyone think of an excuse?
My consolodations to those of us that didn't make it through stage 4, but don't any of you give up. I've been through 3 rejections before I applyed to BA CityFlyer and each time wondered if I'd ever get on a scheme like this. If you've got through to Phase 4, you've a place in the industry says I. So don't go giving up!
Mike out.

Many congrats Mike, glad you got it. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful as well but getting through to Phase 4 wasn't bad for a first attempt and I will keep trying! Does anyone know which airlines are likely to be recruiting again through FTE and when?

The list of airlines that recruit from FTE is quite a long one, but from that list there are but a few who run mentorship schemes through FTE:
Flybe
City Flyer
ThompsonFly
CityJet
(I may have missed some here)
I've been through the Flybe selection to Phase 4, and unfortunately fell down on the interview (they required a lot more knowledge of the kind of lives pilots lead and about the aircraft than CityFlyer or NetJets did). I'm afraid ThompsonFly and CityJet are unknown quantities to me selectio-wise.
I'd say you'd do best with Flybe (providing you like the aircraft + airline), the selection is almost question-for-question the same as CityFlyer's, until you get to P4.
Best of Luck!

Hey guys, joining this thread a little late! I have got my Interview on the 9th - 10th of September. I believe its the 4th and final stage.
I am provisionally on the course that starts on the 7th November. Is anyone else heading to Jerez for the interview on these dates and is anyone going to be on the November course?
Cheers

Hi konkrete,
I thought the FTE/BA Cityflyer selection is finished, and stage 4 interviews have come and gone!
I didn't get through to stage 4, but am heading out to Jerez for an interview on 10th September, do you know if there are any spaces left for November?
