This whole section is about Ts and Cs. Where else can airlines be compared.
RARA9 is entitled to his opinion and has experience of LH BA.
I think it’s v relevant and if it prevents just one person from joining BA who would be better suited somewhere else then the price of thread drift is worth paying IMVHO.
Look on the bright side TCL the more that choose Jet 2 the less competition you have. Ultimately if BA don’t get enough pilots they’ll lower the entry requirements or increase the pay. For you it’s a win win.

Yes I am deadly serious, it’s a team game. Help out your colleagues, it’s not difficult. Second of all the captain in question was risking a cancellation to the operation (especially in the current climate) the following day with his petty and unmalleable misinterpretation of OM-A operating policy, whether deliberate or not. If I can’t trust you to exercise pragmatic judgement and interpret company policy to a simple and positive conclusion with such a simple issue like that I cannot trust your judgement elsewhere and therefore I’m not flying with you. End of story.

That would be tea with no biscuits and a warning letter for the FO - Plastic 787 what planet are you on?
Was on a recent flight with First Class being empty and the Capt didn't allow the CC to take rest in FC. Found that a bit lacking

Were you party to the Capts DM? Was this from “ Galley FM”? I’d want more facts before making a conclusion.
re Plastic
The fact is Plastic wasn’t the FO on the LCA in question. I’m sure they would have had a quick TDODAR with the capt. and discovered THE perfectly workable option that would have prevented this situation from developing.

i can think of quite a few more reasons too. Whilst on the face of it, it may seem a bit lacking, without all the info on which the Captain made their decision; its impossible
to judge.

Day time flight of 6.5-7.00hrs. Lacking in good crew cooperation maybe you tell me. Just found it a bit odd "as one"

I heard it’s a separate Airline/AOC to BA Mainline like Cityflyer so it could just be an informal chat with the base pilot, get shown around the office/when’s your notice period/why do you want to join us. Best of luck, If you have any apprehension I hear ‘Flightdeckwingman’ does a Stella job at getting people up to interview speed with the courses he runs. A good success rate.

It is run by Euroflyer selectors, but runs in a similar format as the mainline process.
DEC should also have a tech exam and an Airbus sim.

Help
Hi everyone, appreciate this is a public forum but will be very thankful if anyone can give me any assessment feedback. I've scrolled through but nothing specific to the assessment in waterside is posted here. I have the assessment on 20th June. Thank you in advance.

Must be plenty here who can help you and quite right of you to reach out. Little word of advice to all; this thread, other threads, other forums and social media etc. are being monitored, so please don't influence future interview questions and assessment procedures by posting here publicly. Private messages are the way to go. Please don't ask me how I know because I wont/can't respond.

That’s BS by the way. The HR dept have absolutely no time to monitor prune. The assessment procedure has and always been a joke of a process, many existing LTCs have failed the process. As long as you fit their nonsense demographic box, you’ll do a grand job getting in.
