I have my Stage 1 assessment day coming up. Just trying to get up to speed on my mental maths. Anything in particular I should be looking to focus on? Long division, area of circles, squares, triangles etc? Any trigonometry or algebra? Can anyone recommend any practice sites?

See post #978 or latestpilotjobs.com and pay them £20ish for pretty good info on the whole process. It's nothing you won't find here though.
The maths is pretty basic stuff, just not enough time to finish the paper, so choose the easier to calculate questions.

Right to work document?
Does anybody know if there is an actual "right to work document" for a European Citizen (i.e. some physical document or form), or could a passport from a European member state be considered as a "right to work document" in itself?

You may have hit on something here.
How about if flight schools and low cost airlines put those scratch card things by the tills in Tesco?
You know, just like "Nando's", "O2" and others do?
But, instead of denominations starting at £10, these pay to fly cards could begin at £110,000. Of course, there would be some glossy photos of Ray-bans and perhaps an aspirational sponsored advert from a local Porsche garage.
Of course, such a card couldn't be used to purchase a career in BA.
Or could it?

I was very surprised to hear from several Aer Berlin FO's that they have all been sent an email offering them an assessment with BA for a minimum two year contract on the 747 or 777.
Anyone know of a similar deal for UK pilots with Lufthansa?

That's odd. Surely it seems to conflict with the info from the current BA guys a page back about reduced 744 recruitment need?
Is this verified? Sounds a little like Chinese whispers. Probably more to it in reality.

Just in case you're waiting for a reply and wondering about the deafening silence I think someone needs to mention that you might have a long wait for further verification from the "BA guys", especially over the fine details of contracts and recruiting targets/numbers. An announcement has been made elsewhere making it clear that some of the detailed info that has appeared here probably should not have done so (I think I'm safe in posting that..
).
I am sure they (the "BA guys") are still willing to help when they feel they can..
