Did anyone else get the impression from the interviews that whilst "no flying experience was necessary", that if you didn't have much they wanted to know why?
I was left feeling that if you had the means to pay for a PPL and had not, it counted against you.

Don't panic. I understand that the selection team may require a little more time whilst they deliberate. You should receive a email but it may just be to say they are extending the time to come to a decision. That is from a rock solid source but things do change. No email is not bad news. I am sure they will be working to let everyone know ASAP. The only thing you can be sure of is change. Good luck all.

Unfortunately it's not the yes or no that killing me at the moment, it's the not knowing! It was a month since I least spoke to or heard from anyone at BA. If it gets put back even longer that's going to be pretty uncomfortable.

Nothing more than, what I said would be wrong and you would all get the emails today. They are working on it. I guess because you guys have put so much effort into this it's good that if extra time is needed it's given so as to ensure every candidate is given as much consideration as needed. It is the hardest part now....the usual hurry up and wait

Thanks Bex. It sounds as though they are looking to re-evaluate any decisions they have come to so far. The suspense is killing me! However, if it means waiting that little extra to ensure that the selection team come to a conclusive decision then so be it!.

Devastated! I assume everyone else is getting their responses now. It's a much tougher road from here. All the best to those that made it. I'm sure you'll make great airline pilots.

Got the good news myself - absolutely delighted.
I can empathise with those that were unsuccessful this time having been through it myself once and got the rejection before- it was a case of second time around for me, so don't give up!

A big fat no for me sadly. I had a feeling my interview was below average (everyone else commented on how easy it was, I had a slot with less than usual time and was rushed all the way through - I have a feeling that impacted the answers I was giving).
Oh well!
Congratulations to those who made it.
For those that didn't make it - chin up and see you next year!

Well I got a "yes"!
Think I need a wee sit down and a nice cup of tea.
Much like the guys/gals above are saying, commiserations to anyone who didn't jump the last hurdle. I was fully mentally prepared for a knock back. Hadn't entirely anticipated a positive response.
Looking forward to getting stuck into some hard work in the not so distant future.
