British Airways DEP Selection - THE lowdown Part 1

[RumoursRumours]

As a matter of interest... for those that have JUST had a yes.

Does the DEP Assessment Information Sheet still show 'Pilot Assessment 1' in Day One?

[eagerbeaver1]

I am British.

It appears to be a half day assessment. The information provided seems to be the same as my last attempt three years ago.

However, unless there is less hanging around I would say the micropat (sic) testing might have gone?

MicroPat testing

I think it may only be delayed to Day 2.

800 hrs 737, 1000tt been invited for the 8th December.

Just hope I'm good enough on the day.

Congrats all

I doubt anyone trying to get away from the disgrace that the terms and conditions have become at ryanair has got a call from BA!!
Wonder if willy walsh and his pal MOL have made a pact not to hire ryanair guy?

standing by for the abuse..................

[WallyWumpus]

Maverick,

For evidence to the contrary, look no further than the posting immediately above yours, a low hours RYR guy with an invite.

A friend of mine who is a Ryanair FO has had the call for a BA assessment. He is going in November.

[PPRuNeUser138999]

Does anyone know if the simulator used for the assessment will still be the 747-400?

[nick14]

Maverick,

Not that it matters but I am RYR, and I know a few others from here that have been invited.

[spider_man]

Anybody else having trouble with available interview dates?

I received the invitation email Sunday evening and logged in to see lots of December availability. I logged on 24 hours later to confirm a date and it says no slots available. Are BA inviting more candidates than they have the capacity to assess or can we expect more dates?

[Mr GinoPino]

Got the mail on Sunday as eweryone else, loged in early monday morning (after very early check out)...but is says "No slots available" !

what to do?!

[Busbar]

Can anyone confirm that the practice tests on the SHL website are fairly accurate to the ones BA use for day one assessment?

Thanks

[WallyWumpus]

Maverick,

Play nicely, I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass. A quick look at Nick's previous posts confirms his status.

Maybe I just have too much time on my hands......

Wally.

I'm RYR my interview is this month- go figure!

[Brian Fantana]

Does anybody who have been in the hold pool or previous candidates know what the details are with giving a presentation, and role play?
I see this is part of the assessment!

[D O Guerrero]

Brian - the smell of Sex Panther is putting you off... I don't think that applies for pilots. It's just general recruiting info.

[Wirbelsturm]

There is no role play or presentation (AFAIK) there is, however, generally a pilot/HR monitored group discussion over a topic which tends to place commercial expeidiency and cargo expediency against one another to see if the candidates can come to an agreement on a balance. The trick is not to be the shrinking violet but don't be the 'Apprentice' to$$er either.

Might have changed this time round though so the above could be rubbish!

[D O Guerrero]

Wirbel you disappoint me. I was hoping to get the phrase "everything I touch turns to SOLD" in there somewhere...

[VJW]

Good luck to those going today

[Mooney12]

Well if there are lots of RYR pilots getting interviews, that must be some significant recruitment onto the 737 at Gatwick...

That'll be a bit of a shock. Going from a new NG to a 20 year old 737-400!
