By way of an update and for m’2pence worth the latest is command airbus at LHR has now gone senior, Gatwick is off the end of the list, very junior. A friend of mine who is airbus rated has just been given long haul 787, 5 days in the hold pool. I think the lady in charge has now been given the green light to offer courses out. If you’re swimming, expect news very quickly. If you’re applying, expect a very quick application process and gen up on the 767 pitch and power numbers for the assessment. You won’t have to wait long, they’re using the 76 now full time for selection. Good luck

In any event as you say there seems to have been a major reshuffle/rejig of Airbus courses and training.

FWIW on Longhaul you are usually going to get two or more complete clear days off between trips anyway, unless you opt to reduce rest or actively try for a back to back...

Stage 1 Assessment
Hi All,
I attended stage 1 of the assessment on the 3rd Dec as yet I have not heard anything regarding the outcome.
Has anyone else heard anything who attended an assessment early Dec?
Cheers.

Good luck!
But I guess it’ll all remain quiet until the new year now

I think they’re just a little bit backwards about coming forwards in their processing of stuff

Give them a call or send them an email guys. They're pretty approachable. You have the right to hear something within a few weeks. They should be very happy that you're taking the effort to apply for the job. Good luck with the rest of the assessments!
