Britannia Stage II

I know I should be more relaxed, but the guys at Britannia did say hear "by the 9th". It's now the 8th and nothing :-(. How about all you other guys & gals??

Good luck one and all! (especially me!!!!!!!!)

Hi 2BBA... had nowt in my post box this morning. I hate all this waiting around ! Had to buy myself a new set of brown trousers. I reckon they'll send them all out today to arrive tomorrow - both successful and un-successful . Don't forget, the kind young lady on the assessment day said we were free to call Britannia HR tomorrow should we not receive a letter. Can't rely on the post office now days. All the best.... fingers crossed.

Talking Woohoo!

This might cheer some of you up (well 50people to be exact!!) but Ive just received a phone call at work informing me Im through to the next stage!!!

The lady on the phone said they'll be sending the letters out soon, hopefully to be with people by Friday confirming the details, failing that phone her direct and she'll go through the details on the phone!

HTH and good luck to everyone else! See you next week!

Well done you Nutter! I got a phone call this morning from a London telephone number (I live in Scotland), but missed the call. You think that might have been them? What is their number anyway?

Well done again,

Ross

Hi!

Expect a reply by telephone ( ) today or tomorrow, I've just been called and invited to the next stage

They'll then send confirmation by post to be received by Friday.

Venue has changed to Luton, on the 14th and 15th of October.

Good luck (especially 2BBA!)

Hi guys,
Still not heard anything, so unless I hear anything tomorrow, I guess I'll be one of the 150. Anyway, always think positive so I will let you know. Did they say that they would be doing calls tomorrow, or have they done them all today?

Same boat as you Rossco. Not heard anything yet, still pleased to have got this far though, I'll be trying again next time if I don't get through. Was good to get to the last 200!

Rumour has it you have to gargle salt water whilst singing "My Old Man's A Dustman" in the nude. Last 24 to gag go through Seriously, I haven't a clue !? Does anyone !? Isn't it a group discussion/group task type of affair !? Although on the telephone today, the lady said I was accepted for "..interview". Whether this was just a phrase she used or there is an interview I don't know ?!

Bleep.

fed up of waiting

I got fed up of waiting and called them. I passed the tests but unfortunately didnt make the final 50 that they call through. Letters of confirmation are being sent today according to the woman and should arrive tomorrow. If you want to call them use:

01582 424155 and ask for HR and pilot recruitment, they will then tell you over the phone.

Congratulations to all those who did make it through. Its a wonderful opportunity and I want to wish you all the very best of luck. Go get em!

Cheers Andy,

Just called, they said I did well but wasn't in the top 50. Was good experience though, I guess I can only improve now I know what the tests are like. She told me they will be running the scheme next year. Well done to everyone who made it through and heads up everyone who didn't.

Just phoned them, didn't get into top 50. Nevermind, was good to do it, 1st time for me so I know better what to prepare for next time.

Rgds and good luck to those in the next stage, competition will be even harder I am sure.

Is it true that candidates will have to sit the GAPAN tests at some point throughout selection ?

How did that happen?

Managed to somehow get through to the next stage - anyone know what they're going to do to us? On the assessment day I heard the lady say that we were going to have personality!? tests (questionnaires) done.
If anyone's got any more info then please post a reply.

Good luck to everyone.. especially me

Well done to all those who got through,

I seem to remember something being mentioned on the day about group exercises (+discussion?) and personality profile. If so I imagine it will be similar to the BA one ie thousands of questions in 40mins, no time limit just put your first response.

The Wannabes section of PPRuNe has some sample questions in the BA section I believe.

Bleep, which tests do you mean by the GAPAN ones? Are they the PC based ones normally administered at Cranwell, ie similar to RAF tests? If they are going to make us do them the only parts I can see that would have any relevance will be the hand/eye/foot coordination tests. The paper tests we have done are very similar to all the other computer based tests (spatial perception, maths etc.)

Good luck to all,

N.

I'd heard Stage II is going to be the group exercises plus personality profile - circa 3 hours all in.

HR were unsure how many would progress to the final ("interview") stage - possibly 10.

Good luck one & all......
