AFAIK the only country that BA operate into that demands crew have a formal printed visa stuck in their passport is the good old US of A, so if you end up going onto a fleet that visits the States you'll have some admin to do during the conversion course and a visit to a nice embassy near you. Every ten years you have to jump through the hoops again.
Most everywhere else it's done a clearofconflict describes, you gain entry with ID and/or Passport by the simple fact that you are on the General Declaration and in the case of the PRC, the company submits your name on the quaintly titled waterguard list....

Application Questions??
Hey Guys!
i know that the applications closed today (8th June) i had the screen up with the required questions on my Macbook, but accidentally refreshed it and its all disappeared :/ Now getting to my point, has ANYONE still got a copy of those questions they wanted us to answer as part of our application? As i would have completed my licence conversion prior to the next open date, and would love to start preparing those answers beforehand to save time!
Cheers
PS: If anyone has any gossip on the next openning dates, i understand its prob a guess at most - but all answers appreciated

If you're thinking of it, don't bother since comprehension is quite important!
The presentations are aimed at experienced pilots including those who hold type ratings on any of the aircraft BA currently operates or has on order. We are not seeking attendees who are low-hour or trainee pilots, but if you fall into one of these categories we'd be delighted to meet you at one of the other events we support including Pilot Careers Live, formerly the Flyer Professional Flight Training Exhibition.

I went to the assessment (tests) yesterday and I'm non rated, with experience on a Biz Jet. I got the overall impression that BA are only really looking for A320 rated people and it seems quite strange that they have invited some non rated people for assessment. Still hoping to hear the good news next week, my fingers remain crossed!

Question regarding roadshows at Gatwick
A Flight instructor with 3000hrs, Non type rated, is it worth attending?
Too many hours to apply for FPP, not experienced enough for DEC as no Type rating. Stuck in between the two extremes.
