Pity the days are gone when we took a ride as a civvy IRE in a Herc or Tristar to qualify the RAF guys for a civil IR. We all flew the same Airways!!
Common sense departs again. Although prob didn't do the Service pilot retention stats much help.

Current type rating and a minimum of 500 flying hours (not including simulator time) on a Zero Flight Time (ZFT) qualifying aircraft, ideally with flying experience on this type within
the past 12 months. Preference for the longhaul fleets will be given to those currently flying
a jet type with a MTOM of 25 tonnes or greater and holding an unfrozen ATPL (A)
NB - for information on the EASA ZFT requirement please refer to CAP 804 section
FCL.730.A.

Anyone else having issues with the on line application form?
I can fill in the type rating section just fine, but it will not let me answer the 3 questions below. It doesn't let me click in the box to type out my answers.

Anyone has done the first day selection in the last year? There is some talk of some of it having changed, but I can't find something concrete.
I did the selection 3 years ago when it was verbal and numerical reasoning, the multitasking test with ATC and system monitoring, and the multitasking crosshairs/countdown/shapes ?
Does anyone know if this is still the case?
Cheers!

Has anyone had any experience of this? Do they email you when more dates become available or do you just need to keep checking it yourself?

I think there was only the odd place on those dates as I know a guy who booked onto one of them a week or so ago. I could see three as soon as I got the email then by the time I’d checked when I could make it (only 10 mins or so) all were gone. Sent an email too.
I am having the same issues. Checked it couple of time it still show “no entries so far”
