The sort of attitude expressed by HHarry is not helpful nor wanted.

Having been through BA's selection process three times and having got through to final interview, all i can add is try, try and try again. Provided you have all the attributes that they require it is possible to get in. With regards to feedback I had a former BA Capt telephone to tell me to re-apply as i only narrowly missed out and had all the attributes they wanted. I am currently working towards a frozen ATPL off my own-back. BreakRight all the best. Attitude goes a long way.

PS, how are people doing with the JAA exams at the moment ?

What goes around comes around !

Guys,
Enough of this. It aint interesting. Nuff said. xx

Love it when you take charge ge - absolutely love it!

oooouuggghhhhh suits you sir!! :)

Chaps dont worry about this sponsorship nonsense, if you want to make it then you will, have faith in yourselves. There have been some very good coments over the last couple of pages, and a whole lot of love!

Just remember with companies like BA you are a commodity to them. As you get older your priorities will change and the idea of working for a big company will be horrendous. Money isnt all. How about the idea of wife, kids and a dog. There is something to be said about going back to your own bed at night and your Swedish au-pair.

I cant believe that I said something so mature, BA should be seen as a starter block who wants to spend their time dialing in digits on an autopilot, titing about with variable pitch props and flying rubber dog **** out of Hong Kong is what it is about. Use them because they are sure as hell going to use you. Who wants to be managed by a bunch of fags and birds, I would rather be lead than managed (For those in the know). Smaller companies can be the way forward.

Good luck lad

Whoa there bigfella, whoa!

Whoa what happened to my Flying Rubber Dog **** out of Hong Kong, some rotter has put an **** when is should have said S_H_I_T

Whoa there bigfella, whoa!

What? You mean $hit?

Its from Air America...

Whoop Whoop! Imposter on the flight deck!

It was from Top Gun!! (I should know - I've seen it too many times :)) Maybe that just makes me a spotter, but I would have thought any pilot ought to know his Top Gun from his Air America. What are they teaching you at Atlantic Flight Training these days? :) :) :)

I didn't know they automatically removed your expletives. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif Clever ****, eh?

I was reading your post on £5K or £17K. Are you going the instructor route or just ploughing though the whole thing to Frozen ATPL "Airline Standard"?

You've lost me there

Maybe you are right that is the last time I am going to offer you some advice you fat git. I dont watch ponch American films anyway, you want to get your chubby little cheeks of the sofa and into the gym before the CAA add you to a variable in the weight and balance for Perf A. Comprende? Also get your pie eyes away from the hollywood drivel and into the ATPL books.

Ay Captain.

That's the best advice I've heard all day :)

funny git

Hey, hang on a minute here. I leave the country for a couple of days and suddenly it is reported that I agree with Ronnie. I find him very funny but have never, ever agreed with him.

Pielander, I think you'll find that it was E-Fizz who thinks Ronnie has a point.

Crazy?.....Nah this is just night time!

..Air America

also: Land??? (said in refrence to landing a turbo porter on a mountain side :)) Bet BA would like it if you did that with a 74 ;) ;)

There's no doubt that tha BA scheme is one of the best - training paid for and a nice plane to fly at the end.

But there are other options available to you. What it comes down to is sheer determination. If you want it enough, you will get it.

Keep your chin up and look forward. Don't dwell on the past.

BR, may the force be with you! Don't give up buddy!

Pandora: Sorry, I need to get my facts straight here. I just seem to remember him saying "Pandora, I love you" at some point. Anyway, I've started disagreeing with him entirely as well now, especially after some of his recent postings.

BR: Yes, that was indeed some landing ;)
