I think it has gone to be honest, I looked where I found it and it is no longer there. I can, however, log in and continue with my application which I have not finished yet

It is? That's odd. Oh well that can only be a good thing. Best pull my finger out and get it done just incase.

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.

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.

Thanks for the answer Wirbelsturm.

In other countries flag carriers they don't accept foreigners...


Good news for me then.

In the section...

Have you guys broken down your logbook right down into each individual single-engine piston, multi-engine piston, etc... for all of your training in addition to your commercial experience?

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!

I see on another thread, you have had a thanks but no thanks email already. Sorry to hear that. Is that correct and when did you apply?

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.
