I've been looking but can't find it. Can anyone post the pp34 scales in full? The current overtime rates? Etc

Ppjn is not too helpful.

Thanks

Are you implying that CTC are now not providing a significant proportion of the Airbus training?

Chuffer Chadley 15th Jan 2015 08:06

Yes, a bit cryptic that, 4468! Care to elaborate?

BitMoreRightRudder 15th Jan 2015 12:53

Whatever has caused the re-calculation, there are now 100 less pilots required for this year, so more like 200 new entrant spots rather than the 300-odd previously planned. That's pretty much the gist of it. Apparently.



Until they change their minds on Monday/1st week of April/whenever. If you already have a start date I wouldn't worry too much. Probably.:hmm:

Easy5072,

New interview slots have been released today.

Does this change in required numbers have anything to do with the new crew optimiser software 'Crystal'?

Maxbrake 15th Jan 2015 15:18

How many have been offered a position/start date so far and how many can BA train a month?

Harry palmer 15th Jan 2015 16:49

BA 2015
 
Does that indicate a return of the hold pool and its 12 month limit?

Maxbrake 16th Jan 2015 16:36

Anyone who attended stage 2 this week heard anything yet?

EMB-145LR 18th Jan 2015 17:28

I have my Stage 1 assessment day coming up. Just trying to get up to speed on my mental maths. Anything in particular I should be looking to focus on? Long division, area of circles, squares, triangles etc? Any trigonometry or algebra? Can anyone recommend any practice sites?

OBK! 18th Jan 2015 17:40

EMB145 there's plenty of guidance if you just look.

EMB-145LR 18th Jan 2015 19:06

OBK! granted this is true. However, much of it is well over ten years old now and it would seem the process has changed quite a bit. I was wondering if this extended to the maths portion too.

EMB-145LR

See post #978 or latestpilotjobs.com and pay them £20ish for pretty good info on the whole process. It's nothing you won't find here though.

The maths is pretty basic stuff, just not enough time to finish the paper, so choose the easier to calculate questions.

Sim assessment Feb
 
Anyone managed to get a sim slot at the beginning/middle of February?

Drop me a line!

Right to work document?
 
Does anybody know if there is an actual "right to work document" for a European Citizen (i.e. some physical document or form), or could a passport from a European member state be considered as a "right to work document" in itself?

Direct entry pilot.

How can there be a non-direct entry pilot?

Via Tesco?

wiggy 19th Jan 2015 19:19

Know what you mean.....FWIW historically it's been used by BA to describe anyone who hasn't joined through one of it's cadet schemes.

You may have hit on something here.

How about if flight schools and low cost airlines put those scratch card things by the tills in Tesco?

You know, just like "Nando's", "O2" and others do?

But, instead of denominations starting at £10, these pay to fly cards could begin at £110,000. Of course, there would be some glossy photos of Ray-bans and perhaps an aspirational sponsored advert from a local Porsche garage.

Of course, such a card couldn't be used to purchase a career in BA.

Or could it?

SK1 20th Jan 2015 13:09

I was very surprised to hear from several Aer Berlin FO's that they have all been sent an email offering them an assessment with BA for a minimum two year contract on the 747 or 777.
Anyone know of a similar deal for UK pilots with Lufthansa?:*

Cliff Secord 20th Jan 2015 13:15

That's odd. Surely it seems to conflict with the info from the current BA guys a page back about reduced 744 recruitment need?

Is this verified? Sounds a little like Chinese whispers. Probably more to it in reality.

Burpbot 20th Jan 2015 14:40

What about the BA scope agreement?
