Considering the training takes roughly 15 months and that courses were staggered throughout the year - some having not started yet, not a single FPP has finished training yet.

Would you say an 31 year old engineer (BENg, MSc and over 8 years with a well known British turbofan manufacturer) is too old to apply for this? I know it says max age 55, but am just curious as to what the average age of the trainees would be...

Those that want to apply had better to get their skates on. Just got an email from BA saying I'd better finish my application pronto due to an "Overwhelming response." They anticipate closing applications early.

They were quite vague about closing the application period, which would suggest that this isn't a 48 hour notice.
All the same, i'm going to be trying to complete mine within 24 hours just to be on the safe side

I think it is 48 hours. It is indicated in the FAQ.
A little question for you
For qualifications for the French Baccalaureat level there is a drop-down list to select the result. We can select in the list grades from 1 to 7.
The problem is that in France we get grades between 0 and 20... Could someone indicate me if the equivalence for a 17/20 (for example) would be a 1 or a 7 ?
Thank you!

It may not be the 48 hours email of application window closing. Your application is withdrawn 21 days after first registration if application is not submitted, this was told in an automated email sent out by BA recruitment.
.
If your application is not submitted by the closing date or within 21 days of first registration (whichever is sooner), it will be automatically withdrawn

Not to sound too pedantic, but when listing employment, it states list in reverse chronological order. So, I began by starting with my most recent. However as you add each employer down, the most recent employer appears at the bottom of the list. Is this ok?

I did the opposite. It said "list" them in chronological order not "enter" them. So in order for them to appear in chronological order in a list I started with the last option first.

I enetered my employment in reverse chronological order (most recent first). Then had a minor panic when I saw that the system showed them in chronological order with no way of changing them round. Then relaxed again when I saw that when you preview the application to print it out they were all listed in reverse chronological order again.
It's all a bit clunky but it seems to work in the end.

I got through to the final stage last year with a C in A-Level maths. I wouldnt worry about it, mental arithmatic and numerical reasoning are more important than the educational grades (provided they meet the minimum requirement). This is all tested in the aptitude tests at both the FTOs and Cranebank.

I am currently studying my A-Levels with my results being published in August 2013. Does this mean I am unable to apply for this intake?
The website clearly states;
"You will need:
- 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English Language, Mathematics and a Science (single or double award), excluding General Studies.
- either 3 A-Levels at Grades BBC or above, excluding General Studies.
- or an Honours Degree at 2:2 (or higher) or a pass (or above) in a higher degree such as MSc, MA, MPhil, DPhil, PhD, MBA."
student630, you yourself have stated that you do not have any A levels ...... and won't have any results for A levels until August next year. Consequently you cannot yet apply for this scheme. Simple.
Sharpen up, people!

@no_guesses. When I looked at the preview under the print page, mine appeared in reverse chronological order too mate :S. I think the system automatically puts your employment history in reverse chronological order regardless of how you entered it as I entered the last employment position first. I would not worry too much.
