G-F0RC3, that's why I'm like a dog with a bone over this:
On Jerez's site:
"Each of the three ATO’s are allocated a one third share of the available British Airways Future Pilot Programme vacancies."
One third each. Illogical.
The only way it could be fair, is if you don't necessarily get your first choice of FTO.

My experience of last year suggests that phase 2 assessment dates will ONLY be offered once the application window closes. This was borne out when I contacted my chosen FTO today. They informed me that that dates had not even been finalised as they are a long way off.
BA confirmed last year that there will be no disadvantage to submitting an application right up to the deadline - which sounds logical.
Not saying you're lying but you may be confused.

The number of cadets was not evenly split last year. I think there's a propensity for the FTOs to say there is an even split to make them appear equal in the eyes of applicants. Remember this is BA's scheme, they make the decisions.

I'm still really struggling to open the application subsections, nothing will load!
The minimal functionality that i had yesterday has completely failed today.

BerksFlyer, good point well made - personally I think they should be vetted by BA before they are allowed to make swinging statements!
Do you know then if each FTO sends different numbers through to BA to choose from?
Because that would make sense.

Bearcat: I don't really want to give any details about myself out. As I say some ex colleagues already know who I am based on VJ (christ knows how).
BA will no doubt be monitoring this forums over the coming weeks.
Out of the 5 close friends I have who have applied, two have selections dates now so it's clear that things have very much started. I would be amazed if this application window is open in 3 weeks time, unless they are doing it in phases.

Can anybody help with the
box that isn't there but is very insistent that you cannot move forward without it?
Please enter the month and year the qualification was awarded or is expected to be awarded.

Sorry G-F0rc3
The 3 is next to the 2 on my keyboard I can only apologise. ;-)
neilje12,
I'm not lying or confused. I assume things are different to last year. I've booked my place, paid already and have my confirmation e-mail. I assure you I am not lying, I've got better things to do than that. I just came on here to get a little advice and try to help a few people out if I could.
As I've said before I have spoken to both BA and my chosen FTO and both have said there is no advantage whatsoever applying first or last. I'm very pleased that is the case too because otherwise the process would be extremely unfair.

@BenMcGrath When you put your degree in you can put the grade you expect to get and the expected graduation date in the dates tab that's hidden to the right of the page. I believe they also have the option to put in your BTEC in the qualifications you just need to state if it's a diploma, certificate or award
Thanks

I'm having trouble with the website too.
I logged in via CTC (which redirected me to GlobalSuccessor) and then it said I had already submitted an application !? My heart skipped a few beats to say the least...
I then logged in via the BA website and everything came up just fine. Only problem is, my application is showing as being "On Hold" and I'm not able to answer the application questions???
I am not sure what to do any help would be appreciated...

What happens if you can't make the Stage 1?
Hi, Is anyone else in the same boat as me? I have been offered a Stage 1 interview but they have only given me 2 dates both of which I'm out of the country at a funeral. I've written to the FTO but wondering if anyone else was in the same position.
