Interviews most definately going ahead....had a friend stay with us last week while he had interview at LHR
|
Still no contact about rescheduling of cancelled interview despite sending email and phone messages.
If some have actually had scheduled I/V as it appears from postings then I am inclined to think that there has been a changing of minds somewhere. Rather a sorry state of affairs, always though better of BA than this. A bit of common courtesy would be in order. Shame really, would have been nice to get in at the start of something new. Best of luck to those who make it through. hope it all works out. Think I'll be staying put. :ugh: |
Northern Boy,
I told them to cram it by email three days ago. Told them I thought their behaviour was shoddy and high handed. Seems like this will be no better than where you and I both work anyway. |
For any of you FO's out there why would you want to work for this outfit? BA mainline will be hiring 200+ (number being talked about) pilots next training year so apply to mainline and further your options!
:ok::ok: |
No Longer ATC
Just wondered if you friend who interviewed was rated , I recieved the "you have passed the initial screening letter" and then all went silent.:confused: I'm non rated and wondered if that was the issue. I'm sure like ever other start up things are just crazy in the office right now. Lots of fire fighting. I'm sure our turn will come. Keep the faith and safe flying. PMR.:) |
All gone quiet with PL..... Anyone get any job offers from the recent LHR/BRU interviews?
|
Very quiet
Nope, in fact not even an acknowledgement or reply to my mini-essays sent on Nov 5..........
|
it is dead in the water i think
|
My mini essay must have gone down like a lead balloon too because I didn't get a reply either.
|
Chocks away
Ha Ha Mine too but then I wasnt too bovvered! Better off to use the feet Gawd gave me than elevate 2 inches off the ground looking 4 my cheeseboard and muttering 280 bawwo......:D:D
Only jokin think they got alot of applications and sure they got to weed out the practical guys! Neway Im lookin 4ward to my weekend in Leipzig. Beer soon sapco |
Haha... Perhaps they got wind about you and I being practical jokers then!
Have a great weekend in Leipzig Hogg - fantastic night life with good beer, you'll just love it! |
A colleague of mine has done the interview and sim assessment, just waiting to hear. He is not UK based!
|
Will he share some details with us , please?
Thank you ! |
Sounds like it may be starting to be resolved between BA and BALPA re: working groups and standing conferences. Sounds like it is working toward a GSS setup. It would certainly suit a load of pilots looking to get out of the UK but still work for BA.
|
Midnight Cruiser......I don't think BA want "quality FO's".....they have 1500 of them already. They want cheap FO's, hence the external recruitment.
|
BALPA's stance is that all Lauren Pilots should join the BA Mainline Seniority List - Therefore Lauren F/O's will have access to the entire BA fleet after a stint in Europe.
That should help retention although this year we have seen a few F/O's depart for other pastures! |
although this year we have seen a few F/O's depart for other pastures! |
And if BA have taken them back it says a lot about the lack of quality applicants available!
|
Nah 3 greens, it merely shows the grass isn't always greener! Everyone has a niche in life you know and I think you'll find it's definitely not cool to blow smoke up one's own arse-hole!
Good luck, and I hope all works out well for you and any BA pilot who may want to work from mainland Europe! |
Banana Head,
I never said "greener", you did!!;) |
