BA Cityflyer
As a New thread has anyone had an interview with BAcityflyer on the latest round of recruitment?
If so I would be very grateful for any feedback either via PM or reply?
Regards
MAB

Couldn't agree more proceeding outbound,
these 'trendy' selection days are excellent at forcing people to bull!!!! non-stop for 8 hours straight.
An overstaffed HR department desperately trying to justify their position?
Or perhaps I am as cynical as Mrs EK4457 says! Who knows......

5 rings, as I said I don't plan to do either, just a comment about a largely pointless process (my opinion only, not fact). Judging by the previous post about this airline it's debatable whether this is in fact a "proper job" - it's all relative!

For those that are interested here are some numbers about the last selection process:
Over 1500 applications
32 Interviewed
16 Selected for simulator assessment
8 Starting a course in Jan
Further interviews and selection planned for January for the future courses and to create a holding pool.
I would presume it would be from those whose details were held for future, not those with a PFO email.

I was thinking of investing in some technical manuals to brush up on possible interview questions next year.
Gonna buy a sharp pin striped suit and get me hair done instead.

Interesting thread - but if you want a job then you have to prepare for it and jump through their hoops. That's their test of your DETERMINATION.
Conflict resolution questions? Evidence of your FLEXIBILITY and ADAPTABILITY.
This is what they are looking for - they know you can fly an aeroplane and the sim check is there to just confirm that but mainly to make sure you fit into THEIR environment. Call it HR bull!!!! if you want, but both BA and CF seem to have recruited pretty good people over the years. Ryanair (speaking from experience) will recruit anyone with the cash. Who do you want to sit next to on the flightdeck?
If people can't be arsed to do as much preparation as possible to jump through the hoops, then to a company like BA, it shows that you don't really want the job anyway. So if you do, then suck it up and get on with it.

Perhaps it's appeared in error, but on the BACF vacancies page they are once again looking for F/o's and Direct Entry Skippers. Seems strange given the response they got only a couple of months ago. Closing date 21st Dec 2010!!!

I didn't get an interview when applied last time. Didn't keep the email I got so not sure if it was PFO or "keeping your details for future" etc
Just went on website and clicked on current FO job vacancy (closes 21 Dec 2010) and it is showing they already have an application from me.
So maybe all hope is not lost. Would absolutely love to fly for them out of LCY not far from where I live.

Told first hand anyone with less than 1000 hours and over 3500 hours had their applications round filed (RHS), not sure about the DEC cut off points. Problem is it's a employers job market right now, 1500 applicants for 8 positions, afraid that means they pick and choose.
