That was my understanding based on the available information - but to get a complete picture on this requires some co-operation as we can each see only the dates for our own FTO at the time of booking.

Thanks for the additional info; it is looking like the FTE & CTC dates overlap quite a bit. I was hoping to be able to meet some of you but the OAA dates appear isolated at present.

All at sea; congrats and well done :ok:

@JDA2012

Thank you. Congratulations to you too! FTE was definitely available from the 27th until the 1st of May.

For those who have been unsuccessful, do we get any feedback at all? thanks!

We were explicitly told by OAA that no feedback is provided.

Unfortunately I got the bad news on Friday. I do feel that Ill be able to give it a really good shot next year, though.

The afternoon of the 30th of April with FTE here!

If anyone else is for the same slot please do feel free to PM me, likewise It'd be great to know how those of you I met at FTE on the 26th last month got on!

1mag1n3; Commiserations plus fantastic attitude, good luck next time.

Well it was a good day for me :ok:

Congrats to all that have gotten through to the next stage! And for those that didn't, it's amazing to see how positive you are about next year.
Any of you going for the 27th in the morning?

Bad news from FTE here. First time getting to this stage of a program so I'll take all the experience gained, work harder and give it another go!

Best of luck to everyone who got through.

Well done to all those who got through! Commiserations to those that didn't make it, remember BA must have liked you if you were able to get to this point!

Got an unsuccessful from FTE today too, obviously gutted but still chuffed to have made it to the assessment day. For as tough as it was, it was still good fun and was great to meet fellow candidates on Monday. I feel even more motivated to apply if and when the programme opens next year! Congratulations to everyone who made it through to the next stage, looking forward to following your progress. All the very best of luck!

Sorry to hear that rstra, I really am. I felt the time at FTE really was invaluable for any airline scheme, let alone the FPP, so keep your chin up!

Does anyone have an idea as to how many people have been invited to this stage? I know we were told 250 at FTE, but the number of slots available for each day seems to suggest otherwise.

Has anyone got any more information on the "Two computer based capacity tests"? I have had a good trawl through this thread and haven't come across anything conclusive.

They will just be aptitude tests that will test your mental capacity. I don't have any idea what the tests involve, but I imagine one of them will involve some kind of multitasking.

Hey guys. I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but does anyone here have an idea how BA will send out invites to those successful at the Waterside assessments? I highly doubt they will wait until everyone has completed their assessments, since the interviews start the first Monday after the last day of assessments.

Agreed EZY_FR. I suspect that the assessments will be a simple pass or fail, meaning they could potentially let us know the following day. CTC did this after our FTO assessment. We were told the next day whether or not we'd met an initial standard, the further three week or so wait was to see if we'd been called forward to Waterside (presumably based primarily on our interview performance).

If this were the case however, the earlier slots would of course gain an unfair advantage with regards to preparation time for the interview... so who knows!

Have any other unsuccessful candidates tried asking for feedback? FTE in particular. I wouldn't expect it from any FTO, but was just wondering.

Hi LandingConfig
Spoke to FTE today and was told they will be giving feedback after the Waterside assessment days, if I understand correctly, both to those who didn't make it to Waterside stage and those unsuccessful at Waterside stage.
However I'd recommend emailing them to say you're interested in receiving feedback and so that they can put you on the 'send feedback list'.

Hope this helps :)

Already emailed them, thanks for the info.
