Can anyone tell me if its possible to log back in and change some details, after the application has been completed and submitted?
My circumstances will change a bit for the better in the next couple of weeks, but I still want to get an application submitted in case they pull the plug early!

As far as I can see, the application page is still there. Not sure where you were looking...
I think once submitted, you are unable to edit. Makes sense really.
Last year, invitations starting arriving a week after the website opened. Hopefully some news by Monday.

Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone who was in the 2008 hold pool applied last time with an A320/737/757/767 rating.
First, was the interview etc similar to that in 2008 and secondly, were you successful??
Thanks in advance,
Jamin

Can anyone tell me if anyone has applied this time around, if they applied last october but didn't get anywhere. Because on the registration it asks if you have been to an interview in the last year. But on the email last October it said you had to wait a year to apply again.

WBpilot410,
Definately no europeans apart from stiff upper lip British pilots working for BRITISH AIRWAYS. BA is an entirely nepotistic employer who refuses anyone without a pencil moustache and a top hat! Don't want any foreign types diluting the brand do we!
Oh, reality, you weren't joking?
How about, Americans, Dutch, Germans, French, Swiss, Italians, Czech, Polish, Finnish, Swedish ........ etc........etc........etc
If you have the qualifications,possess a JAR licence that can be converted to UK, can pass the interview and the sim check then you can join. Simples.

Assessment Day 1
Can somebody please inform me if the mathematics test is multi-choice or purely written answers only?
Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I cannot recall seeing if this point was covered.
Good luck to all!

don't think it has anything to do with experience, at my interview day I bumped into pretty much everyone from minimum requirements to huge amounts of experience. Ditto on my course.
I have no idea how they filter the applications, or what they are looking for, but I'm pretty sure its not experience alone.

FWIW I agree with 757_Driver,
BA sets the experience levels they are looking for and if you meet them, great. I can't believe that they set a minimum level of flying experience in the ad but secretly require an extra 500 or 1000 hrs when they review the applications. That would be a waste of everyones time.
I believe that the four essay type questions are key. Really think about your answers to these, check your grammer and spelling. Do a bit of research and show that you have really thought about your answer and not just knocked it off in 20 minutes.
Regards
