I used the practice session and 4 minutes to set my screen up with it split so I could see the camera feed and the script in full. A delay of a second or two from pressing record.
Now it’s closed I’m very interested to know thoughts on how they’re assessing. I didn’t stumble over words, and tried not to be monotone in delivery of the PA script.
Questions I thought were good;
I said it’s about offering customers reassurance and keeping them informed so they feel valued.
Icing I talked briefly about compromising the efficiency of the wing to generate lift, could be catastrophic to safety of the aircraft so absolutely necessary.
Not that I needed them but I’d also made note on the script so the answers for flight number, time delay for icing and lost passengers were all fine too.
Good luck all.

Good luck to you, certainly keeping all fingers and toes crossed this week

I like you have two engineering degrees, and I like you didn't upload my GCSE results but instead my BEng and MSc diplomas and I have been given an interview. So I'm going to say it’s very very unlikely that not uploading your GCSE results is what made you unsuccessful. Hopefully this helps so you can at least eliminate this as a reason? Best of luck, hopefully you can find some clarity!
I’m really not sure what I did wrong, I know I got 100% on 2 of the tests, but time to move on. Thanks again, at least I can rule that out.
Best of luck with the rest of your application.

Incorrect on the checking stage, I completed mine with about 1 minute 20/30 seconds to spare - I do think you are correct on "see how far you get" but it definitely was 'finishable'

I thought the same thing.. From the Skyborne Q&A, their Q&A Presentations, and the "What Happens Next" video it all said a further online flight school technical assessment first?
Otherwise its one hell of a cull they'll need to have done at the video interview stage to get down to the numbers required to be able to do face-to-face assessments. I don't see them as having the capacity to conduct that many assessment days within the tight timeframes they're working to.

I thought the same and was surprised to get the email. It's in person assessments with a group exercise and interview in Waterside.

What days out of interest? Not received an email yet, positive or negative, but I have some commitments Mon-Wed (that could be avoided with sufficient notice), so hoping there's an option later in the week if I've been successful.

I’m yet to hear either way, but find it incredible that so many candidates can be whittled down to face to face within a day. (How can you set a pass mark until you have all the submissions from the application period?)

Out if interest, have you completed any sort of aptitude testing with the BA partners previously?
