Hi All. First post on these boards.
I wasn't successful getting through to round 3 and was wondering if anyone knew of any good resources and/or had any hints for giving better responses to the questionnaire. I did not receive any personalized feedback from BACF or FTE. It was my first time applying for a MPL flight training program and so didn't really know what they were looking for.
My background:
- British Citizen and US Permanent Resident
- PhD and MEng in Aeronautics
- I currently work at NASA designing spacecraft
- FAA Private Pilot Certificate
- FAA Class I medical
- 250 hrs PIC / 60 hrs cross-country / 20 hrs night
Thanks in advance!

Damn. Not sure what to say. My suspicion is that is it's not the questionnaire, but the amount of hours you have. I bet they're looking for a maximum of 100 hours. Which is a shame in my opinion :/

Thanks Integrated and LiamW for your replies.
In my responses I did not include my total hours; only that I've held a FAA PPC since 2009 and have a FAA Class I medical valid through May 2017. So maybe not putting any hours at all was the problem? Could it be age? (I'm 35).

On a different note, does anyone have their assessment on the 22nd? (Wednesday) It would be nice to talk before
Cheers

Just to follow up, this is what FTE said: Unfortunately we are unable to provide you with feedback for this part of the scheme, as we only receive overall scores for the questionnaires and we have not even received these yet. For this reason, I am not aware of your score for your answers nor do I know the minimum score in order to be invited for the assessment event. As we only receive an overall score, it is impossible for us to advice in regards to improving this part of the selection process.
Good luck to everyone going to the assessments next week!

Was an enjoyable day all in all. Apparently around 34 candidates are in this round. Day led by FTE - no involvement from Cityflyer yet. Friendly feel to the day!
Feedback to be given after everyone has been this week.
FTE will suggest to BA the candidates they feel will perform well in training. These people will have a final interview in July.
