I joined BA after a career change, and in...

The fleet is big enough that you should be able to swap at least some of your work, either with someone else or through uncovered work which is available as “Open Time” (rules apply). As with any...

Can only speak for 320 LHR but most folks seem lovely both sides of the door. Everyone is different and you of course have to allow for individual personality etc. but I haven’t flown with anyone yet...

Junior on 320 at LHR. That’s pretty much my bid except it’s avoid all starts before 1100. I’m not a morning person at all. I have to say it works quite well for me, but that’s probably because I...

Would agree with this . Almost everyone I’ve flown with on the A320 fleet is friendly, easy going and competent. I think some people from outside are under different impressions.

Utter nonsense. There’s nothing unique about the BA assessment process, many other airlines use similar methods. If you want the job you’ll get it . If you rock up thinking you’re owed the job, you...

I was told about a training backlog and was in the pool for a couple of weeks at the most (earlier this year). I can’t really say anything beyond that.

It’s not changed. BA take it as given you can fly a plane and know your stuff. They’re more interested in how you work and manage people and the flight.

That’s also the case with the sim....

I suspect if not TR on the A32x, you’d be looking at a TR course no earlier than summer for LHR. Don’t hold me to that though. Once confirmed in the hold pool a kind soul might give you a slightly...
