£90k price tag although the type-rating is paid for by Cityflyer

Has anyone further information about the selection process and if they are interested on non-UK nationals? (Even if they put they are, as always) I have read the previous years topics already, but any updated or additional info is welcome

Thanks!

Curious if anyone has a rough idea of the usual amount of applicants?

Shows the difference doesn't it? BA Cityflyer (and most other airlines) charge 90,000 and get 300-400 to choose from. Aer Lingus make the scheme open to everyone and get to pick from 3000-4000.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure where the 90,000 would come from if I managed to get through. Would have to find a loan somewhere I guess.

You just have to look at the threads on here, compare TCX, BACF and Cityjet to the Aer Lingus one which is 17 pages before anyone has even been to Dublin.

They will I reckon get more than enough who meet the standard, they might not be quite as good as the successful Aer Lingus candidates but the airline would be able to argue that at the latter stages it's very close and quality is largely subjective.

Shame it's not on ability though.

Have just sent off my application answers now - first time applying for anything like this. Best of luck to everyone else applying this year :-)

Haven’t gone for the Flybe one... when did that open (and with FTE also)?

Just wondering if anyone got a confirmation from FTE that their application was received?

I didn't, but if you log back on to the application area it will show your answers as greyed out - I guess that's how you know it's been received...

I had a notification when I started the application but not when I had formally submitted. I checked my emails and this was the same for Flybe, so they should have received it!

Just received the good news about an interview today - admittedly much earlier than expected! Anyone else going on the 6th July or heard yet?

Nothing as of yet, I’m hoping my Flybe application hasn’t derailed this one 🙈.

Did hear back today, it was a no, but a little surprised considering the application was essentially the same as Flybe one, hopefully I’ll find out more tomorrow!

Sad to hear it, would have loved to have someone else on the forum sharing the experience :-(. It sounds to me as though they don't want to interview anyone already in the midst of another application as I suppose it's a way of whittling down applicants. Seems a little unfair seeing how competitive these are though. What stage are you at with Flybe?

HI KieronyM,

Had the assessment and initial interview for FlyBe today, seemed to go quite well but will see. It seems a few of the applicants who were also there had similarly been rejected from BA and considering the applications are very much the same, it seems it is a way of whittling us down. I’m surprised the airlines are comfortable with the practice though as of course it minimises their applicant base and potential recruits somewhat!

Hope all goes well with BA! Keep us informed
