Hi,
Has anyone heard back from BACF regarding the selection. I haven't heard a peep since it closed on the 6th Jan. Also, anyone know or have an idea what the selection process is like?

Meanwhile, back on thread for the people who are looking at joining, not leaving, recruitment is still ongoing. Have a look at the mainline thread for tips. Its that minus the compass style test.

'Clippy' has just woke up this morning, read his emails and himself....

I wonder if the impending 'Pilot People Manager' will be able to sort this mess out!

Neon circuits the pilot people manager will sort out anything that they are told to by the leadership team !! The idea candidate will play a good enough golf game, but not better than CP, be able to find a decent curry house in any location with cheap beer available on tap, be good at doing nothing but appearing to be indispensable, happy to put all their principles to one side as they are now part of the Didsbury ring and basically sell all their co workers the utter the company spouts . All this will be achieved while tongue is firmly wedged in the leaderships collective arse!

not as many DE Capt applications as expected !!
A smaller amount of DE FO applications recieved compared to previous recruitment drives. The amount is not a huge number to be honest.

So far only a few DE Capt recruited and most Of the required DE FO recruited.
So far most of the DE Capts applications came form Expat pilots wanting to come back to the UK. It has been mentioned that they were not as interested in those as the IT is believed they'd not stay long and only be interested in a short term stay at BACF, using it as a stepping stone back to the UK.
Possibly more recruitment to follow depending on leavers.

You say a stepping stone - but where can they go with EMB command time ?
I can think of any outfit that's crying out for that.

Next Round of Recruitment?

Hi, are there any plans of another recruitment drive soon? PPJN suggests it's on going all year and with mainline recruitment open again would BACF be soon to follow?

Many Thanks

This question relates to the FTE MPL program however I will probably have more chance of an answer here:

Could anyone verify the pay scales on pjn as accurate? Its saying £31345p/a plus £1900 LCY weighting and £5k-£10k flight pay. From that i'm guessing take home pay around £2500/month? Trying to do some sums based on £800/month loan (for first two years) + living in that London.

Also how does the pay scale work? Do cadets stay on a separate pay scale after year 1 or does it then jump on to the DE FO pay scale in year 2?

The 400 character limit is extremely low and it seems like they made a mistake. 400 words would be more appropriate. I managed to write a decent answer, but it could have been better with a higher word limit!

Does anyone know the actual starting pay for first officers?

This is quite important as accommodation around LCY in particular can be extremely expensive!!

Also would it be possible to get EDI as a base from the word go? I spent ten years living in London and the thought of moving back is quite grim! A smaller and nicer city such as Edinburgh would be much better for me!

I can honestly say that since I joined I haven't looked back. Great training department, nice Aircraft, and stable rosters. Good luck guys with your applications.

Hi Everyone,

I have filled in the online application, but at the 'current status' page it shows that I did not fill in some fields (first name, height, reference) which I did fill in. Does anyone has the same problem?
