BA Future Pilot Programme (FPP)(Merged)

[BerksFlyer]

Right guys, I literally just got a response. Unfortunately it's a rejection. Absolutely gutted, but life goes on.

Wish everyone else good luck!

[suntorytimo]

Just got the email, rejection... Congratulations to those who get a place.

[future captain]

I knew I messed up on the day, but was keeping hope alive until I got the email.

Its a no Totally gutted, all I ever wanted really. Wish everyone else best of luck.

Will have to keep trying I guess

[kingofkabul]

Results are out!

[OMGisThatJohn]

Just got the rejection too. Chin up guys and girls, nothing worth having comes easy (and other assorted cliches) Xx

[BobsCousin]

Posting my rejection as well, just so all the other rejects can feel a little less alone.

I guess we should all feel glad about getting as far as we did!

Good luck to the rest...

[checkgeardown]

I was successful! Congratulations to all those who have been successful and commiserations to those that weren't successful this time. I Just hope I havent been given the wrong attachment to the email!

[pacmanGoNomNomz]

RRRRRRRRReeeeejection.

But not surprised, I put FPP behind me the day after Cranebank.
Would be nice to hear maybe at least one positive response to the programme, unless they're too busy bouncing off the ceilings right this minute...

EDIT: Nice to see some made it.

It's been fun

[Gliderrider6]

Still nothing here yet... and now... a rejection, disappointing having got so far but the odds were never particularly good..

[theTurbofan]

Just had an acceptance. Good luck to all those still waiting!

[Kuoko]

Long time lurker also part of the reject club.

Anyone know if they will provide feedback or should we go through our respective FTOs?

[Speedbird777]

Congrats to all - those accepted and those who got to the final hurdle.

Does anyone know the approximate number who were invited to the final stage vs. number of places (sounds like they were/are expecting to make 90 offers)??

[FlyingDigger]

Against all the odds, and despite writing myself off after Braincrank, this lurker has been successful.

To those of you who gave your best but were not selected - you can have done nothing more, so don't be too disheartened. This is the first of 5 selection processes I have been through in the last 10 years, for a number of different jobs, where I have been successful first time.

It could so easily have been any of us, and I am sure that the universe has a plan for everyone, whether it is this or something else.

All the best.

Another rejection here. I called the recruitment number to ask some questions and they said that no feedback would be given because of the shear number of applicants.

I also asked if anyone who was rejected would be offered a place if any of the successful applicants failed a medical/referencing etc... The answer was also no.

Good effort on everyones part who made it this far, it took dedication and effort to get to this stage, and if nothing else, a great insight into the recruitment process.

Congratulations to everyone who got through, you definitely deserve it!

[Kaneapua]

Rejection here too - gutted.

I wasn't good enough on the day but I met some great people and it was fun while it lasted.

A massive well done to everyone unless that includes the guy I saw blatantly cheating on the RADAR test by consistently touching the screen - I didn't want to be a snitch and hoped the invigilator would notice....but she didn't.

Also thanks to BA for quickly refunding my travel expenses for the extra day I had to stay due to the system crashing!

[covad83]

I got through too after writing myself off entirely so very surprised and proud.

I'm sorry everyone couldn't have got through but that's life.

Happy to answer questions if people want to know anything about selection but it's my own opinion and by no means the right answer.

Again,sorry to those not so lucky and well done to those who got through the most intensive selection process.

[likeflight]

Many, many congratulations to all those successful candidates. Well done! Commiserations to those who weren't successful, but remember that you did extremely well to get as far as you did in the process. Don't give up on the dream.

[kingofkabul]

Many congrats to all, and chin up for the others. It was an incredibly strong crowd at the final stage, far stronger than I have seen at any other selection.

I am delighted to have been accepted myself, and very grateful for pprune and the DEP thread for its help! Keep trying and keep smiling, I hope to be able to share the skies with you all some day!

[wiggy]

Well done, enjoy this evening, you've earned your celebrations but also remember to take a deep breath because now the hard work really starts.

Congratulations to those of you who made it, good luck with your training, if you're unlucky I might still be around to see you on your first day in Crew Report at T5.

Commiserations to those that missed the cut, best of luck for the future, whether it's inside BA as a result of further recruitment or with another operator.

[BerksFlyer]

Congratulations to those successful, top effort!

For the rest of us, hard luck. Of course I knew this when I applied, but it doesn't make it any easier to accept that getting to the final stage this year will count for absolutely nothing next time round (if there is one with the economy, APD etc.) and we will be back at stage one to start it all over again.

Ah well. Recovering from setbacks is one of the hardest things to do, but also one of the most important.
