Seems like all has gone quiet until the application closes? Perhaps they're waiting to see how successful all the A320 interviews go
|
Anyone has done the first day selection in the last year? There is some talk of some of it having changed, but I can't find something concrete.
I did the selection 3 years ago when it was verbal and numerical reasoning, the multitasking test with ATC and system monitoring, and the multitasking crosshairs/countdown/shapes ? Does anyone know if this is still the case? Cheers! :ok: |

Anyone else having issues with the on line application form?
I can fill in the type rating section just fine, but it will not let me answer the 3 questions below. It doesn't let me click in the box to type out my answers. |

Yeah I'm having exactly the same issue. Just been on hold to BA I.T. dept for over an hour but no one is answering! Any idea when the closing date is, can't find it on the application.

Did you have any luck getting this sorted? Fill in your hours. Use the Tab key to move the cursor down. |

I got an email offering an assessment but when I click to book it says “no entries”. Has anyone had any experience of this? Do they email you when more dates become available or do you just need to keep checking it yourself? |

BA application should be carefully considered and not rushed.HR department can recognise that immediately. |
QUOTE=The Foss;10147068] I think there was only the odd place on those dates as I know a guy who booked onto one of them a week or so ago. I could see three as soon as I got the email then by the time I’d checked when I could make it (only 10 mins or so) all were gone. Sent an email too. I am having the same issues. Checked it couple of time it still show “no entries so far” |
Can anyone recommend what to use to prep for day 1, latestpilotjobs.com any good?
|
More dates available now.

What so you’re saying because I had everything ready for when it opened this is rushed? Anyone who is in the industry who is interested would have known it was opening. Last time I missed out, work got in the way and I spent ages getting everything ready then they closed it early!!! Rushed!! No just had everything prepared. |
I should not even be on this thread, but, as an early retired and inconsequential Canadian, who flew numerous general aviation aircraft, and numerous airliners, mostly for charter operators (think britannia, monarch, and the like), long haul and short haul, big and narrowbody, and one asian national carrier doing long haul, I must say that being a pilot in the UK sounds awfully complicated. And yes, have flown into the UK numerous times, along with the rest of Europe. Just part of the job.
After a fair amount of outright bankruptcies, mass layoffs, and constant seasonal layoffs, it just so turned out that I had to get many new type ratings with the new employer, and all paid by the employer. So, none of this type rated requirement was going on. At the end of the day, it was just another airplane to learn. People of my ilk actually got fed up by going onto yet another course, just to fulfill employment requirements. The two main carriers here, and, all of the American carriers, hire non type rated pilots all the time, and they provide all of the training. However, there are no cadet programs, people tend to have at the very least, 2000 to 5000 hours of flying time in anything that flies. Even if you had a type rating on one of their aircraft, it would mean little or nothing, since initial job awards are solely based on seniority driven openings. I feel for you guys, aviation life in Britain sounds very hard........... Cheers |
Nope. Born in Canada and it is the only passport I have. So could never work in Europe in any case, pointless to even pursue an EASA/JAA/UK license or type rating. Do have two european born parents though, so I could have gotten the passport at least, but again, no point since I was installed in a life and a job over here.

Can any swimmers confirm if there has been any comms to the holdpool of late? I received an email back in Feb informing me that other people had been offered jobs (something about salt and wounds). 2 years of swimming now and no idea if i’ve a gold badge or indeed drowned. Have I missed the most recent Webinar? |
Hi guys,
This is my first time getting through to the first assessment. For those that have done it before, it is similar to the way other airlines programme their computer based tests or is it something totally different? cheers. |

Most Legacy airlines have a well trodden recruitment process to get the best applicants and weed out the weak. In the UK we even take on non type rated pilots with 250 ish total hours out of reputable training schools and put them straight onto A320/B737 types. |
