Deano777, Snap, along with a good few others I believe, perhaps they are looking at Jet/TR/Command experience first. :\

Deano777 29th Jul 2011 11:04

Hi Splashndash.

Not sure to be honest, because SmilingKnifed has got through. So long as I haven't got the PFO there's hope :}

UN614 29th Jul 2011 11:17

It would seem that very few non-rated or those who haven't previously been in the hold pool have got an invite so far. Those that have must have been exactly what BA were looking for.

I have nearly 2000hrs medium jet (not a BA type) and applied on the 16th July and haven't heard yet.

Flyer2007 29th Jul 2011 11:23

Splashndash and Deano777, hello

My hand is also up as Dash guy waiting to hear. No PFO yet and the Sun's out today, so here's hoping! :eek:

UN614 29th Jul 2011 11:34

Has anyone been brave enough to call and ask?

sharpclassic 29th Jul 2011 12:32

Guys, relax!!

Unlike Virgin, they will get back to each and everyone of you, whether it be a yes or a no.

Once your application is in, there's nothing you can do. As has been said before, no news is good news!

When you join BA, you'll find yourself hanging around a lot out of LHR so get the practice in!

I manned up and called yesterday and was given a choice of dates end of September. Good luck guys!

UN614 29th Jul 2011 13:32

Sly

When did you apply? Did they mind you calling?


Has anyone else that applied before the 17th July also still not had a response?

slystallone 29th Jul 2011 13:56

I applied 3 days ago. I called up and they were very friendly, they said they had a shortlist of guys who they are yet to respond to. :ok:

flyer19832007 29th Jul 2011 15:04

Applied 20th.... nothing as yet.... and don't think i'll be calling incase its a no over the phone!

aviator444 29th Jul 2011 16:19

Got that email
 
I applied on 19th, and it's been the longest 10 days of my life waiting for an answer, ANY answer! Got the email this morning inviting me for a date in September.

1800 hours TT, 1600 jet, non-relevant type rating.

Good luck to everyone applying

Any guys out there with only turbo prop hours been called? Could you list your hours if you have?

six-sixty 29th Jul 2011 18:45

Nearly 3000 mostly TP, no jet, got the invite today.

Got home, clicked on the link to book a slot, and hey presto "no slots available"!! :ugh:

Deano777 29th Jul 2011 19:06

sixsixty

When did you apply? Also can I ask if you were modular or integrated?

Thanks

V- 5 29th Jul 2011 20:04

Thnx sixty,

You a Captain of FO?

UN614 29th Jul 2011 20:31

Sly

You only waited 3 days to call them?? And I thought I was impatient.

Maybe I'll call next week if I haven't heard.

Hi all.


Just wondering what you guys wrote on the application for the question asking "salary sought" ?

Currently filling in the BA DEP scheme application and looking for a bit of help.

The question regarding decision making, sources of information and how others were influenced; I am torn between a few answers as to what to choose.

Have a few flying related experiences that I could use (each equally different) and a few from previous employment in the airport. Not sure whether to use an example that is more technical in terms of flying, an answer that is more focused to customer commitment or an answer that has not a lot to do with flying at all.

Any help would be appreciated - really dont want to mess it up!

skyflyer737 30th Jul 2011 16:18

Sugar1390, this really is a decision you should be able to make yourself. However, I would stick to flying related examples and there's no need to be too technical.
