Folks - when do you think they'll hit the big "no thanks" button on their email? could it be as late as Friday@5? just wondered if anyone had a hunch, I can't stand not knowing either way.

Dont give up yet, I think there are obviously two emails being returned to people, one with possible selection dates and the other:


Thank you for your interest in joining BA CityFlyer as First Officers E-Jet Series Aircraft. We will process your application as quickly as possible, please be patient in awaiting a response. You do not need to contact us at this stage.

My guess is thats me out of the running already, but with only 700TT 500ME I cant expect anything else in this market!

Two very good mates of mine got the call to interview today! Very pleased for them.
One has 600TT 150ME, other has 2000TT.

Good Luck to them and all the others.

Rejection email!!

M33.

Can i ask when you got the email? Is that not just the confirmation email that BACF send out when they have recieved your application and its confirmed on their system?

Cheers,

In reply to my previous ......

I had an email, not an eagerly awaited call ... for a job on the same aircraft where I did not have to jump through hoops for the clownmaster... and for 3 times the pay.

Perhaps my comments belong on a PTF thread, but experience is the rule, and employers such as these should be at the recieving end of what the training industry should be about, self improvement to a compenent level, fit to command an airliner full of fare paying passengers from the right seat !!!!

Apologies if my remarks offended some who are desperate for a job, but the industry has to change back to being competence led rather than purely accountant led.... which means some people with minimum hours expecting a job as their right having to gain experience to justify their position, the resulting hard work, and a worthwhile career with a company worth working with .. rather than for.

To prostrate yourselves in front of a low paying employer asking you to jump through hoops whilst biting the pillow .. gives you the employer you deserve

Anybody heard anything today?

Not got a phone call or a PFO yet, the waiting is killing me!

I suspect though as they are only looking for a handfull of pilots for each seat if you havnt heard anything yet, you are either in the 'maybe if one of the other guys cant make it' pile or the 'no' pile.

Hope im wrong

A colleague who has also applied called them earlier. He said that he was told that those who are to be invited to interview will be called by the end of business today and then PFO emails would go out towards the end of the week.

No phone call for me either. Ah well, maybe next time?

BACF numbers come up on the phone as unknown number. But so do many others. They will usually leave a message for you to call back. They are not so mean as to think Tough luck for not answering. If you don't have voice mail, then ..... the thought from them will be Tough Luck.

No call, not looking promising with the earlier posts indicating those being invited will know by close of play today.

I guess there's always hope that if the November batch don't come up to snuff then they will invite another fresh bunch in for an interview? One can but hope..............
