BMI Baby interview
Hi All,
Hope to have an interview with PD at baby shortly - can anyone give me the low-down on the format and content of the Baby recruitment process? - very little on here that's current.
Thanks

The Baby selection and interview procedure is exactly how all airlines should recruit ! PD is a great bloke a good judge of character and has no delusions that he's recruiting for NASA ! There's no slimey smart alec HR people involved, no trick questions and no smart answers. No tech quiz which everyone knows the answers to anyway. The Interview is just a chat. It's just about you, what you've done and what you want to do. It is also a no nonsense chat about what you can and can't expect from Baby if you are invited to join. Warts and all. (Not that there seem to be that many warts, pretty standard LoCo T&Cs).
If you can persuade PD you are for him (being yourself and being honest seems to work for most people !) you will probably be invited to attend a sim assessment at Stockley, BMI's training centre near LHR. This is carried out by a GECAT instructor in a B737 sim. The company will send you the profile in advance. If you do your homework, display good CRM and have flown an aircraft before you will probably pass. No surprises, no weird pass / fail criteria. The sim is an assessment not a selection process. It is just to make sure you know your way around an airliner flight deck and have a reasonable standard of instrument flying. No NDB work though ! Nothing like the black arts required at the BA or EASY sim.
Hope that's of some help. Good luck.
