I know that feeling, waking up after a night shift to 20 plus e mails and not one worth waking up for haha

Im a skyborne candidate and still keeping hope for another hour and a half or else it's going to be next week!! Has to be haha

[Flapjack321]

Yeah reasonable to think it could be before 5 still, but looking more and more like next week.

[AKBfly1]

Do you think the delay is because they go over your whole application again? I was under the impression it would have been a quick turnaround as assumed it was pass/fail but they are obviously looking deeper in.

There are probably a lot of people with similar scores, and they will need to filter further I'd imagine. I think as well that this is not a full time process for those involved at BA - and possibly for FTE too

Emails are out, it is for the waterside visit! Just logged onto myBA, good luck to all of you.

[Dannamak]

Just got my email for Waterside! Best of luck folks.

Email for skyborne candidates

Just got my testing response from BA - unfortunately not successful though I am not surprised due to the difficulties I had with some of the tests. Good luck to all who have passed to the next stage!!

Has anyone from FTE heard back yet?

I'm FTE and heard nothing yet

[BASPA777]

Can anyone confirm what the next stage with Skyborne entails? Just a competency interview or a group exercise also?

[A320R348]

Its a no for me too..

Don’t think I could’ve done any better on those tests, even if I spent yet another year on them. Guess this just isnt for me

[ParkBrkSet]

Just got the email. Bad news for me unfortunately(Skyborne). Looks like full tilt ahead for the modular path for me now. If anything, this process has made me realise that this career change is a possibility and something I deeply want.
Good luck to everyone who made it through to the next stage. And for those who didn't, don't give up!

[Flapjack321]

Well done Skyborne folks who got through, and to the others just please try and be proud of the fact you were obviously appealing enough to make it from 40,000 to the last 800ish.

I'm FTE and heard nothing, the agony continues... for now.

[BASPA777]

40,000? I thought it was around the 25k mark? That's a big jump from last year

[doily320]

i'd be curious as well to know where that 40,000 figure comes from?

They said at the FTE day I was at there were 40,000 people who accessed the application and 17,000 fell at that stage (ie didn't complete the form correctly) they said they were down to the last 830 so a massive achievement for everyone in the process. Enjoy Waterside, I really enjoyed it and met some great people

thank you for clarifying, really interesting. Sadly it was a no for me as well, but good experience that I will take with me when I reapply next year. Congrats to those who made it through and maybe see you on the line at a later stage
