LlamaFarmer it's not about being able to read, it's about you making zero sense :ok:

Most people don't round up their flying hours to the nearest 10 million...

Also 0.05 would round down to 0 rather than up to 10,000,000.



It wasn't a serious remark anyway

VJW 28th January 2016 13:25

Neither was mine dude - perhaps the smiley face wasn't big enough...lets try this one :O:ok:

If you are invited for assessment but live outside of UK, does anyone know if BA will provide accomodation at Heathrow and flight tickets to/from for all three different assessment stages?

SinBin 28th January 2016 15:04

Hahaha...you've got to be kidding!:ok:

Why don't you ring them and ask? Remember to remind them of your name when doing so!

You laugh ... but they used to in the meadowbank days; flights, nice room at the Edwardian and meals too.

RexBanner 28th January 2016 16:35

Ah the good old days.

JW411 28th January 2016 16:44

That would be when the applicants could still spell accommodation.

Glider

VJW Buter it also rounds up to 10 million hours - why stop at 0.1 hours.

Don't call me out, dumbass, you're the one trying to be clever.

Cheers

Fat chance! I recently flew from Sydney, arrived 1 hour before the interview only to return 7 hours later back to Aus, all because I couldnt get leave and had no time for other assessment slots. Not single mention of any cash handouts, don't blame them either. If you want it you will pay for the travel I know I did!

Heathrow09L, a personal attack on someone who attended an interview within a timeframe that he clearly stated would not have been of his choosing?

Plus you've chosen to extrapolate and generalise his entire professional attitude to rest based on that one posting? Wow. It seems anonymity really does bring out the worst in some people, let's hope it's the worst anyway or I hope to never have to fly with you.

Was that post really necessary?

ChaseIt 29th January 2016 11:12

Heathrow09L I slept all the way in business with some good sleeping tablets and as mentioned had no other option.

Rexbanner I appreciate your understanding, you sound like a skipper i would enjoy doing a trip with unlike someone else :ok:

wiggy 29th January 2016 11:32

Well I'd put it this way - if ChaseIt passes the interview having arrived early for "report" following a questionable night's sleep I reckon he/she is ideal Long Haul material.... :E

Good Luck :ok:

bowly 29th January 2016 16:57


I can call you or anyone I want 'out' if I so wish
Yes, you can, but it helps if you're right. Which you weren't.

I thought Buter was quite witty and you've chucked your teddies out. As you so eloquently put it......'deal with it'.

spyce 30th January 2016 07:29

I've send you a PM jimboy473. if you have time to have a look at it. :)


Thanks

spyce 30th January 2016 10:42

Hello all,


For the math exercises do you have a website or a link with examples?


Does they ask questions with "trains" crossing each others,.... or A take x time and B x times,...?


Do you have graph interpretations questions?


Last one :) the day 1 is: - 1 verbal test ?
- 1 math test
- 2 computers test

Tiotes massive head 31st January 2016 09:46

Evening.

Has the format changed from a few years ago, as in day one is only the numerical, verbal and video game tests?

The email with the invitation only seems to mention the tests, however on the website it lists the whole lot.

Thanks and good luck!

Just a Heads Up

I know most/all reading this thread will apply to BA regardless of the rostering system and structure of pay but it might be worth knowing there's a vote coming up which could mean big changes to "Bidline" (as in you stop Bidding for Lines...) and monthly pay may go back to being more varaiable.

Afrza 1st February 2016 10:05

A320 DEP to re-open this week!
 
Apparently BA will be re-opening A320 DEP recruitment tomorrow (Tuesday 2nd) with a small chance it might open early later today..

Good luck everyone!
