BA Speedbird Academy 2023

[RaceMasterX]

Unfortunately just been rejected, and with no additional comments its very hard to say why this was... with a comprehensive CV background, and comments on why I wanted to join being - what I thought was - pretty ideal... very disappointing, but head up for the next one...

I found out my results later in the day, normally they should get back to you with a result within 24 hrs. Hope this helps..

Interview

Hi,
I know there is a lot of grrr dont tell them the interview questions here, not at all what I am looking for right now.
I am just trying to prepare for it at the moment, to take it ASAP, just wondering - is the interview more motivational based or compitency?
Thanks gang

Has anyone recieved an invite to Waterside after the video interview?

Would like to understand the lead times after submission.

Video interview
Hi, I received my video interview yesterday and it has to be done by Sunday.
Can you walk ne through the process.
Do you do task 1 then straight onto task 2 and can you repeat task 2 if you mess up also how many questions are there for task 2?

[WarwickWoods]

Did you also manage your best to do your best pilot PA impersonation? haha

[Iracer3000]

Did you already get back your results from the video interview or also still waiting?

[RedRosie]

Anyone else applying to BA and Aer Lingus? I'm thinking about the box that we had to check for BA saying we weren't applying to similar schemes and getting paranoid...

I'm not gonna ask for the exact questions but I just wanna know how much time you get to answer each question and how much time between questions to prepare. Additionally, on the email it says '2 tasks', what does it mean by this - is it just like 2 situation that you need to record yourself explaining how you would react? Or is it like a series of questions about yourself then a series of questions about aviation?
Thanks alot

You do everything in one go and it will take no more than half an hour. All the instructions are given before you actually start.

Hi Aj, u still waiting on the results of the interview? Its been a few days and god knows how long it's going to take I've been getting more paranoid I checked the BA website and it says I've uploaded it and everything and it's 'in the past' but I haven't recieved a single email confirming that I did do it etc getting worried lol

they give you 2 chances to answer each task. You record, watch back then either submit or retry, before moving onto the second task.

I’ve heard nothing. I suspect they will wait till the deadline and then review them and people will hear back after that.

Is one of the tasks a PA announcement? If so is it like a departure or arrival one? Thanks
