BA CityFlyer recruitment and assessment

[kerofai]

Ideal BACF FO

What kind of pilot/person makes an ideal BA CityFlyer First Officer?

[Wodka]

So I guess the non typed recruitment is now on hold/cancelled?

[Daygo]

Wodka,

Have you heard anything other than the Be Patient email a month or so ago? I haven't heard anything.

[emb-145]

......really

[Wodka]

I'm thinking with the Flybe situation and the fact that a new FO vacancy for type rated only is up on the site...

[gearupflapsupshutup]

would the flybe embraer rated people be fast tracked? I hope for them they do... not funny to be made redundant, so hopefully some light at the end of the flybe tunnel

[drivez]

I'm personally hoping they can get a great voluntary redundancy package, then walk in to a job flying ejets for city flyer.

[MD11Man]

Any others heard anything apart from the be patient email?

[aerocomp]

Anyone know if everybody is starting on year 1 on the pay scale for first officer,regardless of earlier experience?

[RJ100]

Aerocomp,

Yes you would be starting on the year one on the pay scale. The pay scale is a reflection of length of service within BA Cityfler, so previous experience has no input.

[Sick]

Welcome to aviation!

[aerocomp]

Has anyone heard or have a clue when they are planning to have company course for the new FOs?

[Jet Set Willie]

8 Started in December and another 8 starting this month apparently. Galley FM is for another batch to start as soon as possible after that.

[WX Man]

Does anyone know if they have any full TR courses scheduled this year, or are they only conversion courses for the [soon to be] ex FlyBe folk?

[MD11Man]

On that subject... I applied late August, heard nothing apart from a please be patient email once.

Can anyone advise me who to contact in the company to check the progress?

[WX Man]

@Fidel

Do you mean:

- you heard this news in the last month
- these guys have starts dates within the last month
- they have been offered positions within the last month (for start dates at some point in the next few months)

?

[FlyingEagle21]

Did anyone from CTC go to BACF out of the last few? I thought about applying back in August but would rather mainline BA or ME.

[emb195]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if BACF are likely to start any courses for the non-TR guys in the foreseeable future?

[nightfright]

Can anyone comment on what to expect for recent assessment for BACF?

[G-IZMO]

EDI Rostering

appreciating it’s difficult (impossible?) to land straight away, would anyone have an EDI captain’s roster they could let me have a look at to get an idea of how those up north work?

cheers
