For those who have been to heathrow - when are BA informing the final stage candidates whether they are successful? Also, does anyone know the exact course start dates at FTE?

Mid december for results apparently and no course dates are available, though I've heard BA have suggested April for first courses.

I know that this topic have been already discussed a few times, but I am still in the dark So, will FPP will be reopened in the near future (next year)?
I've send 3 emails to BA in which I enquired about FPP, and in the first and second respond looked really promising (cca. 1 month ago, they said that they hope it will be reopened in first half of 1012), but today's response
looked a bit negative.
So, do anyone know anything more. Did they maybe gave up on FPP, or is everything very unsure at the moment?

There's been no talk of it stopping. What was the reply that BA sent to you?

In the first two responses they said, that they hope that FPP will run again in the future (more exact in first half of 2012), but in the last reply they said, that they can't say if any further recruitment will take place for FPP, and that even wasn't my question

Ehhh that doesn't sound to promising.

Any chance you can Copy and Paste the Email reply from BA to the Forum?

"Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately we are unable to say if any further recruitment will take
place for FPP. Please visit the website British Airways for information
on current vacancies."

That is the first part of email, the second part is answer to my question and didn't copied it.

Just wondering, for anyone who has already been to the BA assessment at Cranebank, did anyone drive? if so was the multi-story car park available for use? or even where did you park when you went?

Yeah, I drove. The multi-story is available and plenty of parking. You don't need to register before either.

Best of luck!!

Completed at final stage Heathrow, and no I'm not going into fine details! I will say it was harder than OAA's tests, but had some really nice people running it, and even nicer ones trying to get past them. I feel for those who didn't make it to this 'higher level of disappointment' but trust me it's no good for your mental health. Roll on mid December....

I'd like to echo what Gliderrider6 has said.

It was an intense, but thoroughly enjoyable experience. I blew my chances, but honestly (despite being very cheesed off with myself for several hours), I'd don't mind since the other candidates I met on the day were thoroughly pleasant people to chat and work with.

All in all it's been an interesting few months and no regrets. Good luck to the others who made it to last stage

In reference to this being the last day of selection. I applied to FTE and have not heard back since i had my assessment in coventry. I phoned BA recruitment on friday to see what is happening with my application and they said it is still being processed...?

Anyone else in this boat?

Sounds like you should contact FTE. The final round of selection for this year is complete, IIRC the last bookable date was for Monday of this week. Results are due by the 9th December.

Good luck to all who are waiting. It was a tough day at the Rivers!

8 days and counting. The wait is almost as bad as the assessment/interview days!

...and a good many, after the wait, will be left with nothing other than the experience of a pretty tough selection process. Good luck folks.

Did they say by the 9th or on the 9th?

I thought they said on the 9th but hopefully we hear before. The wait is horrendous!

That's promising then. I wonder whether there'll be rejections before the 9th. Maybe an unsuspecting check of the emails in the next few days will end in heartbreak!

Angel 8 days and counting

I was doing fine, not thinking too much about the whole BA FPP thing - just getting on with work and I thought I would have a quick peak on here to see if anything new had come up. From reading the last few posts I am now all nervous again. Can't believe it, I do things for work now that are infinitely more nerve racking than just waiting for an email from a prospective employer.. and here I am a complete wreck again!

I hadn't really considered an email appearing before the 9th (which I expect will actually be the 12th or 13th), so that will keep the sweats on every time I check my phone...
