I am from none of these schools, but I applied also. So basically chance is 0,000001%, because they will first look into pools of CTC or Jerez?

Well Atleast have tried there. Good Luck to the ones who got atleast invited .
It is a nice oppertunity to fly for an very nice airline who treats its employees with respect, which is not common anymore now a these days.

Not much.
Received my licenses last Friday. That might be also one of the reasons I did not receive invitation. Because I could not supply them with my License number.
I have 223 hours. 103PIC .

Did you receive an email or letter in the post saying that you were unsuccessful?

Also received PFO email. Somewhat annoyed I wasted so much time and effort writing ridiculous essay answers for their questions, clearly they were never even glanced at.

Unfortunately in this instance , your application has not been succesful.

Thank you for your interest, and BACF wish you luck with your Job Search.

It could have been worse . Now past chapter for me. NEXT. I don't cry, It is just not meant to be. Maybe in the future again, when I have some more experience.

BA City Flyer recruiting.

To be fair to BACF it did state quite clearly the min requirements for this round - i.e. MPA experience of 500hrs / 100 sectors so it's hardly surprising you have been sent a PFO in your case.

You are absolutely right. But I have already a No, and MAYBE,,,, MAYBE get a yes.
I did not expect anything.

The thing is. How to get experience If you never get the chance to get experience? Experienced pilots got their experience from somewhere. So I just tried it. You never know . Otherwise I can never apply on something. .

I Except it and continue. Who knows. Maybe in the future. I am positive.

So far the only emails sent are PFO's?
Or has anyone received an invitation for an interview?
I haven't received any of the two yet...

I haven't received either yet. However there is a post on another thread from a guy who says he has over 6000TT. Turboprop and jet experience. I live in Central London and have 1600hrs (jet) and don't think I will get through. I think they know the exact candidate they are after and the rest of us never stood a chance. I hope I'm proven wrong.

There's a lot of talk of CTC and cadets being recruited but I have heard from the inside that the reason they have the hours/sectors limit is to stop cadets from applying.

Still nothing here but not holding my breath. It seems that luck plays a vital role in the current job market but someone has to get through!

NTR, ex mil, TT 3500

Yeah well the uggliest word there is : EXPERIENCE :.

Good luck to you all guys.
Well some of you have atleast now a job, where they can obtain experience hours. But I agree that BA Cityflyer is a great step up on the pilots social ladder.

So it would have been a nice way for all of us to go.

Got this today...

Thank you for your recent application for the position of First Officer based at London City Airport as posted on Careers with BA CityFlyer

We are conscious that a number of weeks have now passed since this vacancy closed and your application is awaiting pre-screening. Due to the large amount of applications we received for this position the short listing process is taking longer than anticipated.

Once all applications have been reviewed we will contact candidates via email in due course.

Yours sincerely
BA CityFlyer Recruitment Team
