Talking BA CEP here I come!!!!

Got the call a couple of hours ago. I've got to go to Gatwick to have my BA medical. That's all I can say - I'm slightly ecstatic at this moment in time. I'm off to the pub.
Thanks for all your support Wannabies, you're the best.
LORI I've sent you an email but I'm praying you're through too.

Charlie-130,

Forgive me for being ignorant but I take it that you have gone through the final board day ? How was it and how did you think you did before you got the all important life changing phone call ?

Don't worry about the long wait LORI. I think they are saving the best until last!

Please let me know when you get any word.

Token Bird is sad to report that she has been heartlessly rejected by BA for a second time. I have now got the message and won't be bothering them again.

I am not too sad, there's still the Air Atlantique sponsorship that I'm going to apply for later in the year when I have the hours. Congratulations C-130, and LORI, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Grace, sorry to hear about your rejection. Make sure you nag them for feedback so you can improve yourself for next year (like I obviously failed to do),

Hey Mate!!

What can I say??? Im absolutely over the moon that the news is good - but I must admit I did think it would go your way. There's just something about ya that is very likeable! Anyway, I went for my medical last week and that was quite an experience! Do watch out for the doctor who talks about Rio and has a photo of his Ferrari on the wall... Nice guy but I did slightly cringe at having to get naked in front of him. :0
I really am so excited for you! And Im excited for me because ending up on the same course as you would be great fun I reckon. Congratulations and check your e-mail! xxxx

Great Expectations et al,

Congrats on getting through as well - mail me at some point - I'm trying to get in contact with as many cadets as possible b4 we head out - if you're on SpeedBird 9 or 10 in WMU, I'll probably see you at LHR (in July?).

Use [email protected]

RS.

PS Agree about the naked bit! - but respect for the doc's Ferrari.

Congratulations on getting on...just a quick word to LORI, hang in there, some of our guys got told in two days, some in 3 and a half weeks, and that's official. and Token Bird, don't necessarily throw in the towel just yet (unless age is the issue!). I know people who got in on their fourth attempt. different interviewers, change of company emphasis...a lot can change in a year, and that I know from personal experience. Best of luck to everone waiting..

To those who have got through well done. LORI hang in there and as I said let me know when you hear. My fingers are crossed for you. Token Bird don't feel down about it all. You will get there in the end so chin up and keep me posted about your next step. I like your idea about Oz so let me know how that goes!

LORI to answer your question - well I am off next week but I hope you will be joining me!

Regards to all

MG

Punkboy and RevStar,

Great to hear that you have both been told about your courses so quickly! I still don't know anything really - how long should I expect to wait? I still havent had my certificate through from the CAA - but I am just wondering when I can expect to go and where I can expect to go! Punkboy, when did u hear?
As for you Charlie, you have obviously spent way too long in the pub cos you havent mailed me back! Ground calling you, C-130!

To the lady herself, GE.
We'll, I'm back down to earth and on the case. GE, don't worry too much about the CAA - they're slow even though they're there purely to milk every penny from pilots. Mine took about 3-4 weeks to come back.
Right, I'm off to get super-fit for my medical at BAHS in 10 days (hhhmm, that might be tough!?!?).
