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.

What would be the difference in a320 rosters at mainline vs euroflyer?
I’ve tried to find examples of rosters for either and can’t seem to find it anywhere.
How many days off a month etc.
Can anyone possibly point me in the right direction?

Euroflyer is exclusively single day trips to more leisure focused destinations and has a seasonal bias.

Thank you for that information.
Would you say that mainline is more suitable for commuters as the patterns are longer than Euroflyer?
When you apply with one of the BA companies, you're kind of stuck with them, unable to reapply to another one, need to know what I'm getting into before applying..

LGW seems to have a shallower gradient between junior/senior rosters. Most months you can expect 10 days off with anywhere between 0 and 9 standby days, which is alright if you live locally but not if you’re looking to commute… although I believe they’re about to trial a fixed pattern similar to the EZY 5/4/5/3

Hi can anyone shed light on a typical Eurofly LGW roster for a captain, and can you explain the roster codes RSD - reserve day ? And how that works ?, PRSV ?, AVA ? TDO, ODO ? TS, FT, WR, and LB.

Hi all,
I hope everyone is doing well.
Would someone be kind enough to advise of the new recruitment process for mainline? There is some ambiguity about the assessment process. Having completed the online recorded interviews, at the assessment stage, what tests now take place? Is it simply an aptitude test or is the maths and verbal reasoning still being used?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
I wish everyone the best of luck.

No more maths test and verbal reasoning.
