I'm sure normal service will resume from 9am tomorrow, Tuesday, morning. Probably after a cup of Earl Grey.

Really, I wouldn't worry about what it is. If you've made it through the application, tests, group exercises and interview then HR have said OK. Now just prove to the single examiner you are a normal competent pilot and you'll be OK.

Just the email with the link to reply by the 31st August for DEP Holdpool…
Still had to answer the question - why BA, why now, what can you bring?
Apart from that - haven’t heard anything. Not sure if they will be in touch to say if successfully back in the holdpool?
Bit confusing because the email before said - ‘as you were in the holdpool you do not have to reapply’
Also all holdpool have been extended now 12 more months the same email said…

With respect,I’m not sure about that.The TRE will judge the detail independently and the HR comment is a throw away line.

OR, completely ignore this advice, and prepare as diligently as you have for every other stage of the process

I can’t read other people’s minds, but I would interpret that advice as being focus on your core flying skills / CRM / decision making rather than which particular sim you will be assessed on.
You could go and find a 787 sim and practise some raw data on that etc. but I suspect it wouldn’t make that much difference what Boeing type you elected to do any practise on. Besides the sim used for assessment might be changed at short notice..
If you’re currently flying the line you could do some of your ‘practise’ at work.

So from what I’m hearing it seems BA are not sticking to their promises of prioritising people who were already at the end of the assessment for new assessment dates.
anyone else who was at stage 3 pre covid heard anything since the re opening?

I have received an email that my application has passed the screening phase and to book an assessment when slots become available. I had thought this was an in person aptitude/maths test. I now see people mentioning a test to be done at home?
