Ok, admittedly my search was hurried but the best I can find in previous posts about the selection process is this:
"Generic Maths quizzie with a number missing which you need to replace. Nothing difficult. Doesnt seem to matter if you dont finish it.
English verbal reasoning exactly like BA's.
2 Group exercises whilst surrounded by HR poking and scribbling about you."
It was posted by MAX on 2/9/02 (I'm useless at inserting the http link so instead I cut and paste)!
Hope this helps, even though it isn't overly detailed.

MAX's post was for DEPs candidates so bear in mind this thime could be different. It seems quite a unlikely though, since whether you have 1000 hours on the 757 or a brand new CPL with 250 hours, the selection is the same for all.
Still just a point you might want to make a note of.

Fandabaydozey! Mr Postman I love you! See you in EMA next week.
Now the last time I got selected for aptitude tests Mr Bin Laden intervened the day after I got the letter and the assessment was cancelled. So Mr Bush, if you are a PPRUNEr, please can you wait until the end of next week.
Am going up for Wednesday afternoon. Anyone from Essex area going for same sitting and interested in car sharing to save some dosh - I can pick up Southend/Chelmsford/Stansted (will route M11/A14/M1).
For biggles - I am age 25, no degree, ex military (but not aircrew), Class 1 medical, PPL (70hrs tt, 20 P1) no IMC or Night. I do not have a degree, just 3 A-levels.

Red Herring
Looks like the flying experience limitation was a load of rubbish (I've got 57hrs) - just as well I check out this website everyday otherwise I wouldn't have bothered applying!

I got the letter this morning....Im through! Im really pleased. Ive got 92hrs Total Time SEP, so this must be an insignificant factor. Im going to be down there Wednesday afternoon. Cant wait. Is there anybody going on Wednesday afternoon, id love to take the opportunity to meet some fellow "PPRUNE'ers."
Just a message for those who were unfortunate. If you are determined to be a pilot you WILL get there, its not a matter of if but a matter of when. That's what keeps me going!

I had my letter this morning too. I have 18 hours experience and a degree, so one of the minority who fall into the original criteria!
It does all seem a bit fast though. Any tips on what to expect and what books to read? Already checked out half the library's stock of aptitude test books!

I'm going down Wednesday afternoon too, see you there PA28biggles.
I think Brit Air have selected as many people as possible for the tests, I mean what do they have to lose? Anyone who has the A-Levels etc might be good enough, so why not give them a test. I would not be surprised if the application form will be more of a determining factor for the next round, once they have the test scores. I know other (non flying) firms who have done this. I.e. take the best 30 or so test scores and select 20 (or what ever number they want) for the next round, and not simply the top 20 scores.

Do yourselves all a favor. Wear a suit! 2 piece, white shirt, blue and yellow tie with squares in it. How many Britts pilots dont have a jacket on when walking in the terminal?
Of course feel free to wear a T-shirt and flip flops if you wish.
