£1715 for those 7 that got through to be "assessed". What about the ones that didn't make it? I wonder what the numbers are. This despicable practice just smacks in the face of everything that's undermining this industry. The only people with the power to stop it is US, so don't pay the scabs that are CTC anything then maybe the practice will stop, but alas for every one who's prepared not to pay it, there's probably a zombified never ending line of unwitting "pilots" willing to cough up. We are our own worst enemy.

Pay?
Oh boy, they are charging now, well I guess they needed to do something different because we bunch of type rated people interviewed with them earlier this year and NOONE got a job!!! It was an hr guy and a really miserable creature representing the pilot part. Obviously unhappy with his lot and had no intention of hiring any of us. Maybe it's their way of trying to make themselves seem more valuable or worth a pay rise. Who knows but there are plenty of us out there typed and experienced, so maybe they just want cheap.
Afterward I was thinking even if I had been offered the job I would not have taken it, they had miserable, disinterested over worked atmosphere and did not even try to sell the company to us. Just the usual "we are it and we know you want it attitude" not so these days"........good experienced pilots have choices these days and it's only going to get better........following the shortage in the USA. I have no idea wot CTC is but.....
Guys....don't pay for it .....it really isnt worth it....just wait a few months

87 called as in actually went over there?
or 87 called and, seeing all these posts here substantially less people went?
Im not gonna hide i went there and failed. They were talking about doing 8 assessments and CFE needing between 35-40 new FO's.
Since there was room for 8 guys per session, do the math considering the chop rate.

Guys, DO NOT pay for an interview with British Airways or CTC. This is a scam and has been reported to the authorities. I say again Do NOT pay anybody for an interview. It is a very clever complex scam and there will be NO job.
