All those invited for interview from Sept 21st for dates starting in October will now be via the new process. Why would an FO not simply apply for BA? The aptitude requirements are very specific, 10% pass. Hence the shortage of BA suitable crew. The rest of the world seem to operate quite happily without this esoteric recruitment process. I tried to go BA way 20 years ago. The results wouldn’t be any different this time around! |

Personally I can't see why BACF can't be folded into Mainline OR at the very least add BACF P1/P2 to the list of PRIAM options in the same way OpenSkies was. An opportunity to fly from a regional base, on modern aircraft hopping around Europe would be very appealing to some people. It would certainly help with the recruitment issues and cut costs. If it's one recruitment process why can't it be one airline. Controversial and a thread drift I know, apologies. Cheers PPP |
Ironically, if all your experience is <10 tonnes, you can apply for main line, and go directly long haul 787. As above, why would you put yourself through the ba selection or kura to end up at chippyfryer, several quid lighter?

Update on recruitment process and roster/lifestyle
Could anyone provide an update on the current recruitment process (is it still handled by mainline), and more importantly give some details on the lifestyle/roster at LCY? thanks |

Did you get any answers to your questions, this forum looks dead?! |
A friend of mine had an interview last year, he had to go to Southampton. It wasn’t done by mainline it was outsourced to another company. |

2023 Recruitment Process
Hello everyone,
So we’ve had almost a three year gap from the last post. Does anyone have any information/experience of how the recruitment process is these days? I applied last month. Is it done with guys applying for mainline and euroflyer? How soon after their initial application was your assessment? Is that the first event or is there an online filter first? Pretty keen to get through an interview first time and Cityflyer really works for me so any advice would be great. Cheers in advance |
