I see the application is open until May the 24th now. Is this still for 2015 places? Hope its open again in September for round two.

You spoke my mind Harry fingers crossed

Judging by internal comms recruitment will be alive, active and 'quick' for some time to come!

Does anyone have some more hints with regards to the verbal reasoning bit? I've done all the assessmenttoday stuff but I'm not feeling quite confident just yet..

Speaking about quick recruitment. I've applied last week and got my invitation today for the next month!

Finger crossed! :cool:

As Wirbelsturm has mentioned the company is suddenly in a bit of a hurry, although training capacity might cap the rate at which folks can actually be given start dates.

What are the t&c's of the "pilot only share scheme" they mention in the offer?

Hi,

Any idea if inverted axis is used on the computer test ?

I don't intend to repost anything that has not already been given elsewhere on this thread / site - but I will say that you get plenty of chance to practice each stage of that test before the test begins, so you will be comfortable with what is required.

I've a JAA CPL, ATPL Theory, valid MEIR, MCC, Class 1 Medical
1,765 hours TT
770 hours as FO on Twin-Otter
700 hours as FO on Beechcraft 1900D, current type on licence
ELP Level 6
EU Passport

Can I apply?

I read you can apply with 500 hrs and valid TR. It doesn't stipulate the TR right?

Or am I missing something?!

I don't think the Twotter will allow ZFTT as its too small so I fear you don't qualify.

I shall dig through the ZFTT requirements.

Multi pilot turboprop with a MCTOM not less than 10 tonnes or pax seating of more than 19, not sure if the Twotter is that big?

Absolutely!

Will you progress?

With a Twotter rating? No chance!

However, you've probably got the most fun job you will ever have. Enjoy!! Don't knock it!

Can anybody recommend any material to prepare for the selection ?
Thank you

'Piloting for Dummies' ?????

Sorry, not very helpful but it has helped me for years!!!!

:}

(Keep an eye on the business sections, what's BA up to, what's IAG up to, who are the primary players, what direction does each branch of the company want to go in, what's affecting the market/global economy, currency ($£E etc) markets, oil prices, hostilities around the globe, terrorism, taxes, competition, Gulf regions, level playing fields, impact of Chapter 11, employment markets, local issues affecting staff/pax plus lots more other more clever people will think of)

That's just for the interview!

p.s. Top tip, if there are magazines lying around on the table.......read them. :ok:

How come no one has mentioned the email advising those who applied > 6 months (but <12 months) ago to re-apply? I mean... everyone and their pet dog received it right?

Not going to bother though as I truly believe I'm not what BA are looking for with regards their selection process (which I'm certain will have changed by this time next year). Being in a flying job I actually want to be in for the first time in my career has also helped make that decision! :ok:

Superpilot there's not much to say about it really other than that we know that they're recruiting and we know that they're having difficulty finding people so it's no surprise.

Hopefully I'll get the benefit this time around of having experienced the tests already and actually having time to prepare for them rather than just panic booking the first available slot - after having been initially told there were no slots available - leaving very little preparation time.

Here goes nothing!

Can anyone who has done the BA DEP aptitude tests before answer me a quick question or two please?

How long does the multitask/shapes/count down test last?

How many answers are you required to give over that time?

Hope you can help,

Cheers

Sorry what email is this? If you applied greater than 6 months but still inside the 12 month rule after attending any point in selection people are getting emails inviting them back early?

Yes Harry, check PMs.

I think it might be Bus rated only though.

Yes as far as I'm aware it's type rated only at this stage. (To reapply within the twelve month timeframe of course)
