For BA, there are advantages in recruiting older as they're not going to be on the highest payscales and stay forever given attrition has been very low. Attrition rates may change however.

Short haul review due to report in september I think. I however have been expecting it for weeks and nothing happens. I now for the life of me can't make out if I have made up this time frame or been told it by others. The emails to soften us up were sent out months ago. Anyone actually know?

Anyone know how long it takes after day before you get yes or no?

After day 1 I had a reply via email the next morning.

If you don't mind saying, was it good or bad news mark, pm me if you want. Just be good to know if the bad or good news goes out first, thanks

tested this week and not heard yet. Anybody had a no or yes from this week yet, wonder how long No takes?

I also went for stage one tests on Wednesday, not heard anything either. I know someone who attended Mondays assessment who got a "yes email" the next morning, so I am starting to think no news is not good news!!

Anyone go on Wednesday and have a yes or no?

Thanks. Best of luck to the others. There will be other opportunities :-)

747-400 campaign (qualified) to start shortly.....

And your source is? I think many in the company would not accept it without a fight

As direct from LC as you can get. Can't comment on internal bid politics..

I'm absolutely sure there would be a little "adverse comment" :ooh:, certainly on a certain other forum, but AFAIK there's nothing in any agreement to prevent direct recruitment to Long Haul in certain circumstances - it has happened before.

The trigger would be the Airbus training system becoming full to capacity handling the FPP graduates now joining us (blimey they look young :uhoh:) ..and the imminent tranche of DEPs, leaving no flex to allow the additional training caused by aspirational movements off Short Haul on to Long Haul. At that point any short fall in Long Haul manning has to be filled by direct recruitment onto those Fleets.

Interesting that despite the 777 running a bit tight the rumour concerns recruiting into a fleet that is meant to be running down, albeit very slowly.

It isn't running down that much. The plan is around forty airframes for another decade.

running down it might be, but there are also lots of rats deserting the ship :)
