Suitable for LH??!!!! I would have liked someone suitable for SH last week. Every approach back into LHR and some up north were all in and around the 25-30kt range gusting up to 39. It’s fine having a policy but if we are sending the weaker candidates to SH it’s not a great idea in my opinion. More junior commands, more junior FO’s. I don’t mind saying it but when it was gusting 35 across it was the most I had had to deal with until now. |

It is just a very convenient way for BA to "force" people to go to SH. They must be fed up with people refusing their SH offer because they know they'll be offered LH if they wait. |

That sounds a bit of a high risk strategy - how often does it work? Rumor to be confirmed though. |

Getting a ‘recommended for LH’ definitely does not mean that’s what you’re going to get offered |

Couple of things come out from the company recently, you can only go LH if you have an unfrozen ATPL (and fairly unlikely if no “jet time”) and if you turn down your first job offer you are out the pool, no bargaining anymore. BA will send you where they want you and make offers depending on what positions need filling at that particular time. Good luck to everyone swimming the quicker you join the less I work. |

Guys, how much do the verbal reasoning and TCAS test on latestpilotjobs reflect regarding the real test at Waterside? The verbal test seems to be a 100% miss..

Direct Entry Pilot - First Officer has opened again today.
"To apply to this campaign you must have a valid type rating with a minimum of 500 hours or 100 sectors on type." |
captain weird, She has 1500hrs |
I'm not LGW based, but i believe they only have 3 night stops at the base, EDI/GLA and JER so lots of daytrips, gatwick has more flexible hours than LHR so some flights do get back at 0200 or so...

Essentially it’s EZY in blue. Preference based rostering. 58.8k starting salary and pay is capped at year 10 but the increments are different to the 34 point scale at LHR too. You earn a little more basic pay but overall less than at LHR because the allowances are less. That’s my take on it but I am LHR |
Anyone know how long applications are open for ? I can’t see it on the website. |
