The trouble is, when the glossy mags like FI print bulls**t about pilot shortage, more FNG's will flick to the expensive back ads and sign up.
We are in a serious 'chicken and egg' situation here, that is still a long way off being resolved.

Yeah, all of you guys are probably right, but then (maybe I'm wrong) why did they request 1000 TT for FO position?
Is a 1000 TT pilot a cadet?
and therefore what are the requirements going to be for future recruitments in other companies?
F..... I'm going to be unemployed for ever!!!! even with a good experience.

Dr E,
I suspect they are looking for cheap cadets and those who will work for the lower salary. Same as everyone else these days. Experience is a hindrance in this depressing market.
4000TT, plenty jet, TP command. No call.
Cadet here and no call !

1000TT?!
CHECHE,
On the requirements page, i see no mention of the requirement of 1000hrs TT for the FO positions.
I and a few mates are all low houred guys with little or no experience and none of us have been contacted yet either.

BA HR dept have confirmed that they have contacted everyone they want for interviews now. If we haven't had a call then expect an email by the end of this week or early next.

Are you sure?
Really, only come here if you have no previous experience or are absolutley desperate. T´s & C´s are the worst in the UK !
They tried to bond us all recently on a forced change of type- I don´t think many were stupid enough to sign the bond.
Beware.

PFOs for those not given an interview date.
I passed interviewed and sim check at the last recruitment drive and have been told there is now a change of criteria. My guess is FTE grads on £25k
FYI 3200hrs, most on a similar jet.
Cheers D and F

Where on the application was the box for "pounds in your bank account"? I must have missed that and just filled in the "hours in your logbook" bit.
oh well, next time I'll attached a scan of a blank cheque

FlyingApe,
Have heard today that they have even resorted to sending threatening letters to those who have yet to sign the Bond. Talks about being escalated to your Line Manager. But BALPA reps say those who failed should sign it. A Forced move and making ALL sign a bond for said move.

I would not say they are going for FTE grads... having been recommended to BACF 2 weeks ago and being told today they don't actually want us. Cheers for getting our hopes up though!
