Hi all
I know this question was asked a few pages back but nothing seems to have changed ;
Yesterday I got the stage 1 invite (15th), logged in today to book but the only date available is tomorrow (17th). Too short notice really, and I'm flying anyway.
Does anyone know if & when more dates will be available ? Is anyone else still waiting for more dates as I am ?
Thanks

Vjw - I just want to check, which stage did you get through too last year? I only managed the assessment stage and received my "thanks but no thanks letter...". Planning on reapplying but was told I have to wait 12 months.

as far as I can recall, your salary is paid at the end of the month and all the variable pay at the end of the next month.
Online there is a payment schedule on the company intranet, but normally your account will be credited on the last (or 2nd last) weekday of the month, apart from December when it comes earlier, about a week earlier.

The system hasn't changed recently and TopBunk is indeed correct about the pay schedule and the comment about the statements for the likes of your variable pay being on the company intranet.
As an example any variable pay accrued this month (April) will be in end of May's pay packet, along with your May basic salary.

Hi all.
I'm off to stage 1 in a few weeks.
When I went the first time (18 months ago) I seem to remember being tripped up by the rate of climb/descent part of the computer test. I can't now remember what exactly the problem was but I do recall that it wasn't presented in the normal ft/min way that we're used to in real flying.
Is anyone able to post a few examples of how this part of the test works ?
Thank you

The swim is slightly more lengthy than that at the minute it would appear, over 4 weeks. Glad I'm wearing my infant swimming wings 
Good things come to those that wait and all that.

I think it depends on whether you are waiting for SH or LH...

LH Holding Pool
Hi All
It all seems to have gone quiet on here regarding people being rescued from the pool.
Which LH fleets are currently being allocated?
Any info appreciated

Sounds like a 6-7 week average wait at the moment from entering the pool.
I have also been told 777/747 at the moment. I believe 380 is for just a few who are already rated going through the process.
