looking for career advice in europe
Ladies and gentleman, i am brand new to pprune, and am hoping someone in the know may be able to help me.... Is there any information out there as to when BA may open up direct entry pilot recruitment for A320 again. Am in the middle of converting my full atpl to easa atpl just now. Currently have 2000 hours on dash 8, 3000 total, therefore don't quite meet requirements for BA long haul. Very keen on BA, but general info on uk airline industry would be most appreciated.

Geronemo,
I was at an interview late last year (end of November), officially from the horses mouth, they are looking to hire in the region of 350 guys this year. Apparently quite short on long haul at the moment, hence the long haul vacancy, and the big drive in the ME to get type rated 777,787,A380 guys to come back - the scheduled 3 day open day in DXB had to be extended to 5 days as it was so over subscribed! Read from that what you will but I would guess SH would open up again this year once they have got some space in the training department... but that is my own opinion not fact. :} |
LlamaFarmer I hope you meant 6 minutes is 0.1 hours.....good luck with the BA maths test :)
|
He didn't say it equals .1 hours, he said it rounds up to .1 hours.
Good luck with the verbal comprehension test... ;) Buter |

Does anyone on the inside know if this recruitment bonanza is likely to still be going on this time next year - or is this direct to LH looking like a one time fix?
|
Wodka, not sure if anyone's crystal ball is good enough to answer that one, I'd be wanting some lottery numbers off them as well....
|
Another quick question guys,
In the cross hair exercise, do they invert the axis from times to times? |

If anyone has any thoughts about verbal reasoning, I'd love to hear them. Do you think it's possible to train your brain to "see" the correct answer?

When I went through it was reversed in pitch but correct in roll.This could be random so expect the unexpected
Did it change during the test? or it stayed like that during the all test? The math tests, are they very similar to the ones we received from BA? Any good books or website to train for them? |

When I replied earlier to your comment, this is what I meant, it was reversed pitch but stayed that way - no change. Sorry if there was any confusion. Most of the maths is the basic stuff, long/short division and multiplication, ratios and percentages. I still needed to visit a few GCSE websites to dust off the cobwebs. A quick google online and I'm sure you can find some fairly accurate examples from airline prep websites...depends how much you want the job and how much cash you're willing to splash! Happy studies and best of luck! |
Non rated courses
Following the last pool update email from last week have any non-rated people found out if they are one of the lucky 4 who were going to get a course that Lindsay mentioned?
|
What did the email say, I'm currently in the pool, but not rated on anything they fly, applied through the LH scheme - 73 is on my licence!

Jimboy, firstly, how did your interview go? Well done on getting one and fingers crossed for you. Secondly, thanks heaps for the heads up. Much appreciated. Thirdly, because im at the arse end of the world, I dont hear much re uk industry. A
Have you by chance heard anything on cityflyer what they're doing, or how they're going? I know they're recruiting now but only for a very short window of time, but wondering Iif they're atill short on crew or by how much. Congrats again though! |
Geronemo,
Interview was fairly ok actually, they were a little pushy, but not necessarily in a bad way, due to time. Pleasant enough interview, others found them quite harsh, so I think it depends on the person and their outlook and views. But I have had plenty of interview experience now, and had done a decent amount of preparation, like any one would. I'm afraid I don't, I do believe a separate thread specifically for Cityflyer has been started already. I know one or two people there, not close friends per se, but he seemed to really enjoy it for what it was, sounded like it wasn't a bad gig, but maybe not the best also. Pay I believe may be a little low especially as it is London where you would have to live - but thats no fact so don't take my word for it, I could be completely wrong, a quick visit to PPJN and/or right move for rental prices could be a good bet! Found out yesterday I will be on the 787 starting in May time. Cant wait! All the best! |
Hi jimboy473,
congrats on getting through and put on the 787, something nice to look forward at indeed! Would you mind to pm me, have some questions!? Much appreciate it. Enjoy the last three month with your current employer! Regards, M1 |
